Tine Control System
Built-in reliability
The Andex 383, 423 and 463 offer the intensive farmer
and contractor a drive system designed for long term
reliability:

The crown wheel and pinion assembly are running in a
fully enclosed oilbath ensuring permanent and 100%
reliable lubrication. The crown wheel is located by a
massive radial ball bearing which gives exceptional
support and ensures consistent engagement of gear teeth
without influence from outside forces.
A shallow profile cam track combined with a large
diameter (300 or 400 mm) ensure that the cam follower
rollers are smoothly guided throughout the entire cycle.
Each tine control arm pivots on a pair of sealed ball
bearings mounted in a rugged aluminum housing. Wear is
virtually eliminated and the frictional loads imposed on
the cam assembly during raking of heavy first cut crops
is also dramatically reduced.
Exceptional raking performance
With up to 13 double tangential tine arms and four
double tines per arm Vicon Andex rakes are equipped for
maximum raking performance.
