The wide +/- 22.5° arc of movement enables easy mowing on rough ground and embankments.
Hydraulic weight alleviation provides uniform ground pressure over the whole cutter bar width. The pressure of the cutter bar on the ground can be infinitely adjustable depending on the condition of the ground and the conditioner or swath formers fitted. Simply read the pressure gauge to see the ground pressure.
High ground clearance of 50 cm at the headland guarantees that you can drive over swaths without damaging them and facilitates manoeuvring around obstacles such as boundary posts.
During lifting, the mower unit is steadied by a stabiliser cylinder. This prevents the unit from swaying, making it easier to drive over swaths and providing greater stability during transport.
For the NOVACAT 352 / 402 / 442 there are two possible mowing unit mounting positions. Turning the mounting through 180° allows maximum use of the working width with both a 3 m and a 3.5 m front mower. NOVACAT 262 / 302 / 352 V are ideal for combining with 3 m front mowers.
Since the mid-80s, our mower developments have focussed on the "floating cut".
On the NOVACAT rear mowers with centre pivot mounting the cutter bar is evenly supported over the entire cutting width. Your mower floats over any ground contour. The mown crop remains clean and you also save fuel thanks to the reduced power requirement.
Due to the uniform cutting height, you benefit from optimum growth and ultimately from higher yields.
