HIT Mounted tedders

Yet another PÖTTINGER innovation: The unique swept-back tine arms guarantee a tidy distribution pattern. High performance is built in to our mounted and trailed HIT tedders.

DYNATECH for all HIT models

Rotors with a diameter of 1.30 m and five arms are ideal for young, short forage. Rotors with a diameter of 1.42 m or 1.67 m and six arms are designed for different working widths and operating conditions.

Four times as clean

• Forage pick-up – small rotor diameters guarantee clean crop pick-up

• Forage – optimum ground tracking of each rotor for clean forage

• Spread pattern – ideal spreading angle for a uniform blanket of clean forage

• Machine – no snagging thanks to the sleek design of the rotor units

The curved shape of the tine arms is unique.

Guiding the tines in a sweeping movement means less stress on the bearings. At the same time the trailed tines move more smoothly, are softer and handle the forage more carefully. The curved shape prevents forage from building up in the tine arms and wrapping around the rotors.

More safety

• The bolted mounting ensures a secure fit.

• A tine security system is standard - to cover all eventualities.

Tines with a longer service life

• An arched mounting supports the tine springs.

• Plenty of space between the tine springs and the tine arms allows for the best elasticity and movement.

• Strong Super-C quality tines.

Clean forage

Offset tine lengths pick up the forage uniformly and contribute significantly to improved tedding quality. Choose between two angles by rotating the mounting through 180°. The cleanest possible forage is guaranteed.

High-strength tine arm mountings

Tine arm mountings

The rotor plates are made of heavy-duty, thick-walled pressed components with precise placement for the tine arms. In addition, the tine arms are also bolted to the rotor hubs to ensure an extremely secure mounting.

The tines and tine arms are subject to the highest stress during tedding. The solid flat bar tine arms feature indentations to ensure that the tines remain securely in place.

Ground tracking and forage protection are the key objectives of HIT rotary tedders. An optional jockey wheel on the pivoting headstock tracks the ground immediately in front of the tine path and responds to each undulation. The result: Clean forage, lower raw ash content and improved livestock health.

Always one wheel ahead

The jockey wheel guides the rotors over bumps in the ground. This ensures that the working depth is always set correctly. You are now able to drive faster and can achieve a higher output as a result. The sward is protected and the tines last much longer. The additional jockey wheel is especially recommended for working on slopes.

• The jockey wheel can be mounted in several different positions to the left or right using the pin-in-hole matrix on the headstock.

• The top link connects to the slotted hole on the headstock.

• No tools are required to adjust the height.

• On trailed machines, the jockey wheel is mounted on the drawbar.

Actively setting the wheels at an angle causes the tedder to run diagonally so the forage is directed onto the mown area. Neighbouring crops remain untouched. Because the wheels can be set to the left or right, fenceline tedding can be activated in any driving direction.

Mechanical fenceline tedding system

HIT 4.47 / HIT 4.54

• The wheels on all four rotors are set individually by hand.

• Lever positions centre – left – right

HIT 6.61 / HIT 6.69 / HIT 6.80

• The angle is adjusted using a lever on each wheel.

The most cost-effective version

If you do not require a fenceline tedding system, the wheels are mounted securely to the rotor casing as standard using roll pins.

Backlash-free drive joints

Double joints

Sealed single and double constant velocity joints ensure consistent, smooth, backlash-free transmission. This ensures that the tines pick up the crop at a precise frequency and distribute it evenly. At the same time, they can be rotated in any position, eliminating the possibility of operator errors.

Clevis-type frame hinges provide each rotor with the freedom of movement for perfect ground tracking. Fitted with plain bushes, they are easy to lubricate.

HIT - Rugged rotor transmissions

Rotor transmissions


Drive shaft

• Large gears and bearings ensure smooth operation.

• The closed angular gear units are equipped with grease lubrication systems.

• No oil leaks possible.

• The joints are mounted on a splined shaft.

Runs smoothly and protects the ground

Protects ground

The large 16 x 6.5-8 flotation tyres on each rotor ensure smooth running and protect the sward, even over soft and bumpy ground. Each wheel is fitted with a cover that also serves as anti-wrap guard.

HIT 8.81 / HIT 8.91

The two inner rotors on the HIT 8.81 and HIT 8.91 are fitted with 16 x 9.50-8 flotation tyres. This improves weight distribution during operation and conserves the soil.

Adaptable for neat results

Tool free adjustment

The rotors can be moved into three positions without the need for tools. You can adapt the rotors to the forage conditions quickly and easily. A uniform and tidy spread pattern is ensured as a result.

Automotive paintwork quality

CIP and powder coating guarantee elasticity and durability. Together with attractive colours and modern design, a high resale value is ensured.

Very short headstock

HIT mounted tedders are known for their short headstock. This brings the centre of gravity closer to the tractor. Less lifting power is needed and driving safety is increased.

For optimum cornering

• Tedders with pivoting headstocks follow in the tractor's tracks without swivelling out.

• The pivoting headstock with a heart-shaped pivot pin brings the machine into the centre position when it is raised.

• A slotted hole is provided for operation with a jockey wheel and rigid top linkage.

• A practical PTO shaft holder makes hitching and unhitching a great deal easier.

• The transport interlock enhances safety on the road.

Compact and safe during transport

The hydraulic rotor raising system provides convenient operation from the tractor seat. In the transport position, the rotors can be rotated inwards to ensure safe transport and space-saving parking. Warning signs and road lights are standard.

Short headstock

Short headstock

HIT tedders are especially noticeable for their short headstock. Consequently, the centre of gravity is moved closer to the tractor. The heart-shaped pivot pin brings the machine into the centre position when it is raised. The vertical point of rotation reliably prevents under-running when working downhill.

A slotted hole enables operation with a MULTITAST wheel and rigid top linkage. The transport interlock enhances safety on the road. A practical PTO shaft holder and hose tidy makes coupling and uncoupling a great deal easier.

Stabiliser struts

Stabiliser struts as standard equipment

The double-acting stabiliser struts on both sides ensure the machine is always centred. That is especially important on slopes. Even at high working speeds, these struts guarantee that the machine runs smoothly. For road transport, the HIT features additional stabilisers.

Compact and safe during transport

Transport position

In the transport position, the raised rotors are tilted very close to the tractor. This favourable centre of gravity means improved safety while driving. The double constant velocity joints in the driveline allow the rotors to turn in any position, eliminating the possibility of operator errors. Warning signs and road lights are standard.

LIFTMATIC or HYDROLIFT

LIFTMATIC valve


LIFTMATIC


HYDROLIFT

The optional LIFTMATIC valve on the headstock locks the outer rotors when raised at the headland. This guarantees high ground clearance.

For tractors with low a three-point lifting height, the optional HYDROLIFT system raises the outer rotors during headland turns. This produces sufficient ground clearance for the rotors.

For optimum cornering

Cornering

The two inner rotors on the HIT 8.81 and HIT 8.91 are fitted with 16 x 9.50-8 flotation tyres. This improves weight distribution during operation.

• Tedders with pivoting headstocks follow in the tractor's tracks without swivelling out.

• The heart-shaped pivot pin ensures the machine is in the centre position when it is raised.

• A slotted hole is provided for operation with a jockey wheel and rigid top linkage.

Compact and safe during transport

A power coupling can pivot the outer rotors on the eight rotor tedders through 180° for transport.

Transport position

• Low transport height.

• Warning signs and road lights are standard.

• Parkable in the transport position.

• The parking height is just 2.87 m / 3.26 m, so these tedders easily fit into the machinery barn.
