For clean and tidy spreading work, the tines must reach all the forage. This is the only way to ensure uniform drying of the crop. At the same time, dirt ingress needs to be avoided. This is because forage contamination has a doubly negative effect in terms of supplying nutrients to livestock:

• Valuable nutrients in the forage are diluted

• Lower forage intake by the livestock

Harvesting machines therefore need to work as close to the ground as possible without scraping. If the field is not level, special attention must be paid to ground tracking of the machinery.

Precision ground tracking by the jockey wheels, floating frame sections and the small diameter of the rotors guarantee that HIT V ALPIN tedders deliver minimum dirt ingress and a uniform spread pattern.
