Slope ready and reliable - PÖTTINGER developed its ALPIN mowers to meet these requirements back in 2003 and has continued their development ever since.
In alpine terrain, every kilogram of weight that can be saved is just as important as the compactness of the machine. For best driving stability on steep inclines, the centre of gravity must be as close as possible to the tractor.
Lightweight, smooth running yet robust mowers are PÖTTINGER's answer to these specifications.
NOVACAT F ALPIN mowers are the lightest in their class.
They are available with working widths of 2.20 / 2.62 / 3,04 m. Our engineers have succeeded in keeping the weight to just 400 / 450 / 490 kg.
Thanks to the low weight and short design of the mower, it can be driven by small tractors and twin axle mowers.
The risk of heavier machines slipping is prevented, which conserves the sward. Gaps between the plants with weeds and the resulting yield losses are avoided.
The key feature of NOVACAT F ALPIN mowers is the integration of the drive train into the frame. The input gearbox is located in the main frame of the mower.
Thanks to this unique design, the construction of the entire machine is shortened. The centre of gravity is only 350 mm in front of the mounting frame. Two diagonal support arms mounted behind the outer mowing drums carry the cutter bar. They extend the main frame so that the frame itself is narrower. This saves weight while maintaining a robust construction.
