New generation rear-mounted mowers
Pöttinger’s NOVACAT 402 and 442 rear-mounted mowers
During transport the mower is pivoted through 90 degrees to the rear. The double-acting cylinder on the rear pivot also serves as collision protection. If the mower impacts an obstruction it folds to the rear and the release pressure is increased. This system ensures that the mower is ideally protected against severe damage. Both the new NOVACAT mowers feature hydraulic weight alleviation. A clearly-visible pressure gauge is fitted to the mower frame and the ground pressure can be simply be adjusted if needed using a double-acting remote valve.
In order to guarantee optimum utilisation of effective working width, both the NOVACAT 402 and 442 can be mounted at two different positions on the boom. Ease of maintenance is extremely important at Pöttinger: the safety guards fold well clear to provide optimum access to the cutter bar for quick and easy knife changes.
