The cutter bar - the new dimension
Best crop flow
Contamination-free pickup and transfer of the crop are important criteria in mower technology for the careful processing of forage. The contoured shape of the conical mower discs increases the effect of the paddles on crop flow, lowering the drag resistance of the mower.
Streamlined mower discs Forage flows through the mower easily and uniformly. Tractor power requirement is lower as a result; dynamic crop flow means the mower is operating at peak efficiency all the time.
Optimised counter chop area The slanted leading edge of the cutter bar allows the earth to flow beneath, separating it from the crop. There is a minimal gap between the upper edge of the cutter bar and the counter-rotating knives. This means that even heavy, flattened crop, or dry unfertilised grass can be cut to the highest quality.
Tidy and uniform cut due to optimised overlap of knife paths.
The sward is protected through the design of the smooth underside of the cutter bar, rounded skids at both ends and no sharp edges.
Assembly and transmission
Hardened mower discs The oval, smooth mower discs are made of hardened fine-grained steel for extra long service. The sleek construction ensures power-saving crop flow.
Rotor shaft
The rotor shaft is bolted to the gear wheels. Each shaft can therefore be replaced economically if necessary. Seal The bearing flange and fittings are tightly sealed with a rubber O-ring seal.
Bearings
Heavy-duty, twin race angular contact bearings with a theoretical bearing spacing of 60 mm guarantee the best absorption of impacts – similar to a car axle.
Gear wheels
The bevel gears are arranged in a straight line and the disc gear wheels and idler gears are almost the same size (44 and 35 teeth). The bearing is subjected to less stress with an idler gear on either side. All gear wheels are hardened and ground for smooth running and a long service life. The teeth are 20 mm wide and there are always two teeth in contact.
Highest quality materials
Welded, inside shoe-free cutter bar made of best quality steel. Precision milled on CNC-controlled machining centre.
PERFECT!
Maintenance – unrestricted access
Straightforward maintenance is possible due to modular construction: bevel gears and bearings can be removed as a single unit, idler gears are also easy to remove through the large openings.
It doesn’t come any easier. Shaft end held in the gear by a lock-nut - cost-effective to replace
Large, machined gear wheels
Gear wheels are 20 mm thick and engage on both sides for smooth running and a long service life.
Quick-change knife system
High demands on mowing quality and performance require direct and reliable solutions in terms of servicing and maintenance. Equipping all NOVACAT mowers with the quick-change knife system is proof of this.
The knife mounting bolt is bolted onto the disc and can be replaced if required - economical wear part.
Impact and centrifugal forces are absorbed by the pin and mower disc - an advantage on stony ground.
The knife is secured by a heavy-duty spring clip.
Special knife key for straightforward and rapid knife replacement.
Quality and precision engineering for safe operation.
Reliable operation for a cost-effective and long service life.
Guaranteed availability thanks to your Pöttinger dealership partner.
Look for original spare parts with the cloverleaf!
'Floating Cut'
Centre pivot suspension Always ensures that the whole cutter bar is supported evenly.
Benefits
Better response on uneven ground for fast and tidy mowing.
Evenly spread load from inside to outside.
The outer skid of the cutter bar comes into contact with the ground before the inside one, for optimum protection of the stubble.
Countersprings
Pöttinger mowers exert a pressure on the ground of no more than between 70 and 100 kg. That is how the sward remains undamaged.
The pressure the cutter bar exerts on the ground can be adjusted quickly and easily using a pin-in-hole matrix.
Benefits of the countersprings
"Floating cut"
Protects stubble
Light-weight, low drag, especially for slopes
Low wear on skids.
IMPORTANT!
Cross conveyor for NovaCAT X8
The conveyor belts are equipped with their own hydraulic power pack so to ensure there is no strain on the tractor‘s hydraulics. Infinitely-variable
conveyor speed control and accelerator roller available for collector. NOVACAT X8 collector The cross conveyor hitches up to the existing three-point linkage and only requires a few minutes to remove and park on its own supports. This reduces weight considerably during mowing without the
conveyor belts.
Variable swath placement
When fitted, the weight of the two conveyor belts is alleviated using adjustable springs. conveyor belts removed
"Power Control" easy-to-use control panel
Belt lift, with side mowers or individually, and adjustment of the belt speed (optional).
Headland management, hydraulic ground pressure system adjustment, hydraulic folding side guard, transport interlock.
Hour and hectare counters are integrated.
The display shows the current status of the machine. Loadsensing
control optionally available.
Working position weight of the two conveyor belts is alleviated using adjustable springs - this system does not influence the ground hugging performance oft the mower units.
Own hydraulic power pack Pumpenantrieb über Gelenkwelle, voneinander unabhängige Drehzahlen der beiden Bänder möglich, einfache Drehrichtungsumkehr.
Easy-to-use electronic control panel Power Control.
NOVACAT X8 Mower combination with 8,30 m working width
with ED or RC conditioner
upon request with cross-conveyor belt
front and rear mounted combination or reverse drive combination
Optimisation of mowing width by means of variable overlap.
Unrivalled on slopes, when cornering and for mowing large areas.
Perfect ground hugging thanks to their central mounting.
Two linkage positions for 3 m or 3.50 m / 9.84 or 11.48 feet front-mounted mowers.
In conjunction with a NOVACAT alpha-motion front disc mower, this results in a combination with perfect ground adaptation. "Floating cut" even on undulating ground - guaranteed soil protection and superior forage quality.
THE ALTERNATIVE
1. Front and rear mounted combination Optimum weight distribution and performance on slopes. Front mower suspended independently of the two side mowers. 2. Reverse drive combination
rear-mounted for tractors with reverse drive systems
with self-propelled carrier vehicles
Unobstructed view of all mowers. Highly manoeuvrable even in small areas.
BREAKAWAY DEVICE
If the mowers impact any obstacles the side mower units can pivot backwards and are brought back into working position hydraulically.
Operating sequence at headland turn A lifting cylinder is integrated into all three mowers. The tractor hitch does not need to be operated at the headland as result. And no readjustment is required after lowering.
TRANSPORT POSITION
The two side mowers are pivoted upwards for road transport and the front-mounted mower is raised. The width of the combination during transport does not exceed three metres.
Transport height can be reduced still further by folding away the side guards.
OPERATING COMFORT
Direct Control operating The electro-hydraulic Direct Control operating system is now supplied as standard equipment. The mower functions can be operated direct. Load sensing systems are also available.
ISOBUS - future-safe operation ISOBUS-compatible systems enable the farmer to control all mounted and trailed machines from one operating terminal regardless of the brand of machine.
The system has clear advantages: clear overview when operating all machines from a single terminal, supervision of operating status, automation of working steps and efficient data collation and processing.
