The innovative AIR HD 900 T pick-up rake represents a step forward in raking technology. The combination of well-thought-out technologies enables great productivity and the formation of airy and evenly distributed swaths. The pick-up technology is designed to prevent the losses of sensitive leaves and the introduction of soil, sand, and stones into the swaths, thus ensuring the harvesting of high-quality forage.

Innovative design

 The SIP AIR HD 900 T rake features unique design that includes a patented flexible pick-up unit, rotor accelerator, and conveyor belt, which work together to create airy and evenly distributed swaths.

Versatile raking

The telescopic arm and two trailed pick-up units offer versatility in raking, providing a working width of 9 meters for central and 7 meters for side-swath delivery.

  • Adjustable Central Swath: The distance between pick-up units is telescopically adjustable, allowing you to optimize the width of the central swath for collecting forage with balers, loading wagons, or harvesters.
  • Separate lift of the units enables raking with only one unit.
  • Airy and evenly shaped swaths for easier forage collecting.

Advanced Hydraulic System

The integrated hydraulic system of the pick-up rake makes it easy and trouble-free operation in different harvesting conditions.

  • Consistent oil flow: A double variable hydraulic pump ensures a constant oil flow to the hydraulic motors of each individual unit. This ensures smooth operation even on difficult terrain.
  • Oil overheating prevented: The in-house cooling system prevents oil overheating and trouble-free operation.

Efficient Pick-up Mechanism

 Pick-up mechanism with smaller diameter roller, swath roller, finger rotor, and hydro-pneumatic suspension system.

  • Hydro-pneumatic suspension for each pick-up unit.
  • Pick-up unit with a smaller diameter roller in combination with an adjustable swath roller ensures a uniform flow of the forage without turbulence and accumulation of the forage in front of the pick-up.
  • Accelerating finger rotor enables easier forage transport from the pick-up to the belt​ and constant forage flow.

Perfect Ground Adaptation

The technology of the pick-up rake is designed for a perfect ground adaptation without damaging the turf and forage residues in the field.

  • Flexible pick-up unit: The segmented central axis allows the pick-up unit to adapt to the ground along a curved line, preventing turf damage and forage residues in the field.
  • Excellent responsiveness: Trailed pivoting with S-FLOW mounting, hydro-pneumatic suspension, and freely rotated skids ensure high responsiveness and adaptation of the unit to various terrains.
  • Protection of the turf: The pick-up mechanism gently lifts the forage from the ground and places it in the swath.

High-Quality Forage

The pick-up rake is designed to prevent the loss of sensitive leaves and the introduction of soil and sand into the swaths, ensuring the harvesting of high-quality forage.

  • Protein Preservation: The combination of components on the pick-up unit preserves the protein value of the forage and increases the yield of crude proteins per hectare of arable land.
  • Reduced Ash Content: The spring tines on the pick-up unit prevent soil and sand from entering the swath, resulting in reduced ash content, higher forage energy, and better animal health and welfare.

Exceptional Capacity

The pick-up rake is designed for professional agricultural producers and contractors, with a capacity of up to 15 hectares per hour.

Easy Maintenance

Simple maintenance with central lubrication of the telescopes, oil level indicator, and maintenance-free pick-up unit and finger rotor.

Easy Operation

Electro-hydraulic control with an easy-to-use select box control unit and the possibility of a CCI 800 ISOBUS terminal. The machine enables high maneuverability with +/-100º turning angle and 5,6 m length. ​

Safe and Comfortable Transport

The compact transport position of pick-up rake with a short frame and hydraulic or air brakes allows for comfortable machine handling and stability during transport.  

The SIP pick-up rake AIR HD 900 T ensures high-quality forage and exceptional capacity of raking. With a unique and simple pick-up system, the investment in the rake pays for itself through clean forage with a higher nutritional value. In alfalfa production, leaf losses are prevented thus increasing the protein yield per hectare and the quality of forage. The high capacity of the pick-up rake makes forage harvesting faster, reducing the risk of weather inconveniences and saves valuable time.
