Pick-up

Maximum intake

The PÖTTINGER floating pick-up, with six rows of tines, delivers impressive performance. A reliable and high intake pick-up is still achieved at high forward speeds and in difficult harvest conditions.

Floating pick-up

Best ground tracking

Two jointed support arms ensure the pick-up has complete freedom of movement. A spring alleviates the pickup weight so less pressure is exerted on the ground. Height-adjustable 16 x 6.5-8 trailed jockey wheels contact the ground on precisely the same line as the tines to ensure perfect ground tracking and cornering.

• Unique travel of 150 mm for perfect ground tracking and exact contouring.

• Automatic pick-up reel switch off on TORRO D models with beaters.

Perfect forage flow

Perfect forage flow

The PÖTTINGER pick-up guarantees the maximum feed rate.

• A large swath roller with crop transfer rods ensures perfect crop flow and a high loading speed.

• The transfer zone from the pick-up tines to the rotor has been optimised and adapted to high throughput.

• The rotor conveys the forage smoothly through the chopping system and into the load chamber.

Pick-up

Pick-up roller bearings

The pick-up is controlled from both ends by a steel cam track. The sealed twin-race roller bearings fitted to the cam rollers are designed to withstand high stresses.

• Clean forage is the result thanks to reduced speed and controlled tine movement. The tines are slightly trailed to sweep in a controlled arc and adapt ideally to contours.

• Perfect transfer to the rotor in all conditions with fully active tine length up to withdrawal point.

• The forage is not dragged through, so there is less longitudinal alignment of stalks. The result is a much improved chopping quality.

• The cam track only needs to be greased once per year. The main bearings have a lubrication interval of 80 loads and are easily lubricated without having to remove guards.

This newly-developed additional tracking roller is located behind the middle of the pick-up on PÖTTINGER loader wagons. Being located in the centre prevents it from sinking into tractor wheel marks and as a result guarantees perfect ground tracking.

The parallel linkage makes all the difference

The parallel linkage ensures significantly improved contour tracking for clean forage, even in difficult conditions. 100% freedom of movement of the pick-up is ensured. The front jockey wheels are adjusted independently.

• The additional tracking roller is raised with the pick-up.

• Full ground clearance is still ensured.
