When harvesting forage, what counts is sturdy machinery you can depend on. Especially in alpine regions, harvest windows are particularly short and valuable. During harvesting there must be no breakdowns or downtime, because the next rainfall is on the horizon.
Moreover, rapid growth in the spring makes the plants "age" very quickly. According to long-term maturity tests, the energy content drops by about 0.3-0.6 MJ NEL per week during the main growth phase, depending on geographical location.
So for the best yields, it is reliable machinery that counts, allowing you to safely take full advantage of short harvesting time frames.
At PÖTTINGER we use only high quality components in the manufacture of our mowers. The sturdy construction makes our disc mowers unique in their reliability. So that you can begin every forage harvest trouble free for years to come.
Put through its paces
In addition to field trials, the machines are tested in our Technology and Innovation Centre (TIZ) for quality and suitability in operating conditions that mimic those in the field. This is where research, development and application come face to face.
The cutter bar is made from the best quality steel. The metal plates are laser-cut and robot-welded with the greatest precision. This guarantees supreme robustness while maintaining compactness.
Another advantage of the welded cutter bar is that the gear oil remains permanently where it should be – in the gearbox. Even after years of use, the cutter bar remains tight, so there are no oil leaks.
High quality cathodic dip priming and powder coating guarantee elasticity and durability. Featuring eye-catching colours and a modern design, you are sure to enjoy working with these machines that retain their value.
