Ra-Rake, the Repossi windrower for quality work

November 2019 | Back

In Hanover, the flagship of the Repossi stand, a Pavia company from Casorate Primo, is the Ra-Rake windrower, a machine designed to operate in the most complex conditions, even on brittle corn stalks, with a high work quality. Thanks to its double star, the Repossi bestseller manages to move the product and at the same time to clean the field even on soils characterized by deep carriageways that were formed in the spring work passes. However, in addition to the build quality, the real plus of Ra-Rake is the hourly productivity that can reach - claims the producer - seven hectares an hour in regular terrain without slopes. "The double star hay rake is a simple machine, but in its simplicity it is truly innovative - commented Fabrizio Girometta, owner of the Girometta Pietro Villa Anna e figli farm of Cortemaggiore Piacenza, who was able to assess the Repossi windrower on the field -  because it combines working speed with the very high harvest quality".

These are characteristics that have allowed the machine to access the important European Horizon 2020 funding, as part of a European programme aimed at promoting innovation and research in this specific area. Ra-Rake is still in the prototype stage, but the countdown to the start of marketing has already begun, and the Repossi windrower promises to immediately find a good reception from the operators.
