Memory function

For maximum operating convenience, you can recall up three working widths and three raking heights independently of each other. Using this system you can adapt the rake to the site-specific conditions quickly and easily. The lifting height of the rotors can also be adjusted using the control panel and is measured using angle sensors.

Overlap control (TOP 1403 C only)

When cornering, the front rotor on the inside of the corner is moved inwards automatically. Sufficient overlap with the rear rotor is then ensured at all times. When driving straight ahead again, the front rotor then moves out automatically. Using this system ensures that you make the most of the maximum possible working width.

Wedge-shaped swath mode (TOP 1403 C only)

Wedge-shaped swath mode makes it easier to rake wedge-shaped fields. When a front rotor is lifted or lowered, the respective rear rotors follows as soon as it reaches the same point. The left and right front rotors can be controlled independently of each other.

This mode can be easily activated in the Work menu.

Direct mode

Direct mode enables any rotor unit to be lifted without prior preselection of the rotor.

Being able to operate individual rotors quickly and conveniently is very helpful, especially when there are obstacles within the field.

Transport mode

Simply press a button to change from working mode to transport mode. The machine automatically retracts the working width, folds in the rotors in and locks them securely in place.

Section Control

The TOP 1403 C is Section Control capable as standard. With the corresponding equipment on the tractor, the individual rotor units can be automatically lifted and lowered at the headland, depending on the GPS position.

PÖTTINGER CONNECT telemetry unit

PÖTTINGER CONNECT is the access point into the world of networked data. The telemetry unit offers the capability of taking over machine control functions. This enables applications such as Section Control (TC-SC) and Variable Rate Control (TC-GEO).

GeoSuite app

In combination with PÖTTINGER CONNECT, the GeoSuite app displays the coverage map. The application can be accessed by any tablet or smartphone using the web browser. The connection to the rake is easily made using the wireless network. Among other things, the app can be used to create field boundaries and activate automatic mode for Section Control. In this mode, the individual rotor units are automatically lifted and lowered at the headland, depending on the GPS position.
