As leading tillage tools, LION power harrows not only perform well when operated on their own but also deliver excellent results in combination with any PÖTTINGER linkage mounted or implement mounted seed drill. You can use these tillage machines together with VITASEM and AEROSEM seed drills or the TEGOSEM flexible hopper cover crop sowing system.
They are fitted and removed using the same mounting brackets on the rear roller as for all implement-mounted machines. Quick and easy coupling and decoupling is carried out by 4-point attachment without the need for tools.
On linkage-mounted seed drills, a HYDROLIFT frame is required for coupling a LION or FOX unit.
In combination with VITASEM models you can choose between a mechanical or hydraulic top link. The hydraulic top link draws the seed drill closer to the power harrow when it is raised, bringing the centre of gravity closer to the tractor while turning around at the headland. This makes it easier to manoeuvre on slopes. At the same time, a much higher lifting height can be achieved at the headland.
Further advantages:
More ground clearance with coulters raised
Easier starting in field corners and at embankments along the edge of the field
Rotors can be activated without using the seed drill
Levelling furrows
A narrow yet strong headstock increases visibility to the rear. Weight is also saved compared to the predecessor models.
On AEROSEM seed drills the centre of gravity lies between the power harrow beam and the rear roller.
On VITASEM models, the centre of gravity acts on the front section of the rear roller.
The additional weight of the seed drill is carried entirely by the rear roller for maximum soil conservation.
The centre of gravity of the whole seed drill combination is located very close to the tractor. This means that only a slight weight is taken off the front axle of the tractor, so there is still plenty of traction for steering.
The power harrow can move upwards independently of the seed drill.
Changing the working depth of the power harrow does not affect the seed placement depth settings.
