The shape and length of the individual tines have a major influence on protecting the forage and keeping it clean during raking. PÖTTINGER tines have decades of proven performance behind them.
They up are angled forward in a dynamic position. Due to this shape, they actively lift the forage away from the ground - like a pitchfork. As more forage is collected, it rides up the tine unhindered. As a result, the forage is not dragged over the ground along the entire arc of the raking action. Dirt ingress and disintegration losses are minimised.
The special feature of the PÖTTINGER tines is that they pass just above the ground directly below tine carrier at only a slight angle. This means that they do not lift upwards to avoid high volumes of forage. They pick up the crop cleanly even in difficult conditions.
