Choosing the right rotary rake is not just about buying the widest machine. A good rotary rake needs to cover ground, make a clean windrow, follow the field properly, and keep hay moving smoothly into the baler.
For dealers, the real question is simple:
Which rotary rake gives the customer more usable working width without creating a windrow that is too wide to pick up cleanly?
That is where the Enorossi Enduo 780 stands out.
What matters when choosing a rotary rake?
A rotary rake has one main job: gather crop into a consistent windrow that the baler can pick up cleanly.
The important specs are:
Working width
This shows how much crop the rake can cover in one pass.
Windrow width
This matters because the baler still has to pick up the crop. Wider is not always better. A controlled windrow can make baling easier and more consistent.
Rotor diameter
A larger rotor diameter helps the rake cover a wider swath while still keeping the windrow manageable.
Tines and double tines
More tines can help with crop movement and pickup consistency.
Weight
Weight gives a sense of machine build, transport feel, and field stability.
Rotary Rake Comparison
| Model | Working Width | Windrow Width | Rotor Diameter | Tines per Rotor | Double Tines | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enorossi Enduo 780 | 276 to 307 in | 35 to 59 in | 150 in | 11 + 11 | 44 + 44 | 3,946 lb |
| Sitrex TW7800 | 268 to 299 in | 45 to 77 in | Not stated | 11 + 11 | 44 + 44 | 4,145 lb |
| Poettinger TOP 762 C Classic | 266 to 295 in | 43 to 79 in | 130 in | 11 + 11 | 44 + 44 | 3,968 lb |
| Kuhn GA 8131 | 280 to 315 in | 51 to 87 in | 134 in | 12 + 12 | 48 + 48 | 4,244 lb |
The Enorossi Enduo 780 has a working width of 276 to 307 inches, making it the second widest rake in this comparison behind the Kuhn GA 8131. More importantly, Enorossi keeps the windrow width between 35 and 59 inches, which is narrower than Sitrex, Poettinger, and Kuhn.
That is the main selling point.
A rake that covers more ground is useful. But a rake that covers ground while still producing a manageable windrow is easier to live with.
Enorossi Enduo 780 vs Sitrex TW7800
The Sitrex TW7800 has a working width of 268 to 299 inches, while the Enorossi Enduo 780 reaches 276 to 307 inches. That gives Enorossi slightly more working width.
The bigger difference is windrow width. Sitrex is listed at 45 to 77 inches, while Enorossi is 35 to 59 inches.
That means Enorossi gives the operator more width without forcing as wide of a windrow. For customers trying to match a rake to their baler pickup, that matters.
Enorossi Enduo 780 vs Poettinger TOP 762 C Classic
Poettinger is a strong competitor, but Enorossi has the advantage in the key areas from this cheat sheet.
The Poettinger TOP 762 C Classic has a working width of 266 to 295 inches, while Enorossi reaches 276 to 307 inches. Enorossi also has a larger rotor diameter at 150 inches, compared to Poettinger at 130 inches.
Windrow width is also where Enorossi pulls ahead. Poettinger is listed at 43 to 79 inches, while Enorossi stays at 35 to 59 inches.
That gives Enorossi a cleaner dealer message:
More working width, larger rotor diameter, and a more manageable windrow.
Enorossi Enduo 780 vs Kuhn GA 8131
Kuhn has the largest working width in the comparison at 280 to 315 inches. It also has the most tines, with 12 + 12 tines per rotor and 48 + 48 double tines. Enorossi has 11 + 11 tines per rotor and 44 + 44 double tines.
So, to be honest, Kuhn wins on maximum width and tine count.
But Kuhn also has the widest windrow range at 51 to 87 inches. Enorossi stays much tighter at 35 to 59 inches.
That is where the sales argument changes. Maximum width is only useful if the windrow works for the baler. Enorossi gives strong working width while keeping the windrow easier to manage.
Why windrow width matters
A rotary rake should not just move crop. It should prepare the crop for the next step.
If the windrow is too wide, the baler pickup can struggle. That can mean slower baling, more adjustments, less consistent pickup, and more frustration in the field.
The Enorossi Enduo 780 is built to create a smaller, more manageable windrow range. According to the cheat sheet, Enorossi’s smaller windrow range allows for easier pickup from a baler.
That is the outcome customers care about:
Smoother baling. Fewer adjustments. More consistent results.
Why rotor diameter matters
The Enorossi Enduo 780 has the largest rotor diameter in this comparison at 150 inches. Sitrex does not state rotor diameter, Poettinger is listed at 130 inches, and Kuhn is listed at 134 inches.
A larger rotor diameter helps the rake cover a wider swath without sacrificing windrow control. The cheat sheet states that the larger rotor diameter allows for a wider swath without sacrificing windrow width, helping operators maximize the size of the rotary rake.
This is one of the strongest Enorossi talking points.
It is not just wide. It is wide in a useful way.
Built simple and reliable
Enorossi rotary rakes are known for an oil bath rotor gearbox, reinforced tine arms, and a simple, reliable design.
That matters because hay season does not leave much room for downtime. Customers want equipment that is straightforward, dependable, and easy to keep running.
Available options include extra support wheels and tandem wheel kits, which can help improve ground following and field performance depending on conditions.
Which rotary rake is the safer bet?
Kuhn wins on maximum working width and tine count. That should not be ignored.
But Enorossi has a stronger balanced package for dealers who want to sell practical performance:
Strong working width. Narrower windrow range. Largest rotor diameter. Simple reliable design. Reinforced tine arms.
That makes the Enorossi Enduo 780 a serious option for customers who care about the whole hay process, not just one number on a spec sheet.
Conclusion
The Enorossi Enduo 780 is built to cover more ground while maintaining a consistent, manageable windrow for easier pickup.
That means smoother baling, fewer adjustments, and more consistent results.
Better windrows. Easier pickup. Less hassle. That is where Enorossi wins.
