When harvesting forage, what counts is machinery you can depend on. Especially for the precious first cut, the optimal time window is limited to just a few days. Rapid growth in the spring makes the plants age very quickly. According to long-term maturity tests, the energy content drops by about 0.3-0.6 MJ NEL per week during the main growth phase, depending on geographical location.
To get the best quantity and quality yields, you need reliable harvesting machines.
It is inevitable that large forces act on the rake's cam track and tine arms. To make sure the rotor withstands these loads for decades, the TOPTECH PLUS rotor unit from PÖTTINGER features a large and robust design:
Large cam track with shallow gradient ramps for less wear on the control levers
Large tine arm bearing spacing for less radial load on each bearing
