A precision chop is the basis for high-quality forage. It ensures better forage acceptance from your livestock and increases milk yield while saving on concentrates.
On the BOSS 2000 ALPIN the cam-controlled tines on the pick-up gently convey the forage to the loading unit tines. The forage is then conveyed by the double tines through the chopping system knives. Here, both wilted and wet, heavy batches of forage are chopped cleanly and evenly.
Depending on the crop being harvested, any number of knives between zero and 16 can be selected. This gives you full flexibility for all types of applications while ensuring the highest forage quality.
The knives are produced from hardened tool steel and are extra strong along the back of the knife. This guarantees a long service life of the knives.
The serration on one side ensures a precise cut even if the knives have been in action over an extended period. The forage batches are always cut rather than torn off. In addition, the elongated blade geometry ensures a slicing and clean cut.
The BOSS 2000 ALPIN offers a chopping system for all applications. Depending on the requirements, up to 16 knives can be selected. For harvesting hay, the standard configuration with 6 knives is perfect.
With the maximum of 16 knives, the theoretical chopping length is reduced to 84 mm.
The knives are slotted in individually and can be reconfigured flexibly according to requirements. Because there is a double tine for each knife, the highest chopping quality is ensured.
PÖTTINGER protects your loader wagon using an individual knife protection system. Foreign objects are a danger to the tine conveyors and chopping system. Downtimes are costly and reduce the quality of the forage.
If a foreign object triggers the protection system, the knife is deflected to the rear with minimal resistance and then automatically springs back into position. Stones are not broken up in the process, so no harm can come to the livestock.
The triggering force is adapted to the high throughput capacity. The knives are held in the correct position to make sure that they chop consistently.
On the BOSS 2000 ALPIN, the knives can be engaged and disengaged from inside the loading chamber. By folding the cover flap up, the knives can be unlocked and hinged to the rear.
The knives can then be completely removed underneath the loader wagon.
