A precision chop is the basis for high-quality forage. It ensures better forage acceptance from your livestock and increases milk yield while saving on concentrates.
On the BOSS JUNIOR the cam-controlled tines on the pick-up gently convey the forage to the loading unit tines. The forage is then conveyed by the double tines through the chopping system knives. Here, both wilted and wet, heavy batches of forage are chopped cleanly and evenly.
Depending on the crop being harvested, any number of knives between zero and 12 can be selected. This gives you full flexibility for all types of applications while ensuring the highest forage quality.
The knives are produced from hardened tool steel and their extra-thick rear edge guarantees a long life.
The serration on one side ensures a precise cut even if the knife edge is blunt. The forage batches are always cut rather than torn off. In addition, the elongated blade geometry ensures a slicing and clean cut.
Depending on what is required, the BOSS JUNIOR can be equipped with any number of knives from 0 to 12.
It is fitted with 4 knives as standard. This is the ideal number for loading hay.
With the maximum number of knives fitted, the spacing is reduced to 120 mm. Because the knife configuration can be adapted to all types of crop, the highest quality forage can be ensured throughout the whole harvest season.
PÖTTINGER protects your loader wagon using an individual knife protection system. Foreign objects are a danger to the tine conveyors and chopping system. Downtimes are costly and reduce the quality of the forage.
If a foreign object triggers the protection system, the knife is deflected to the rear with minimal resistance and then automatically springs back into position. Stones are not broken up in the process, so no harm can come to the livestock.
The triggering force is adapted to the high throughput capacity. The knives are held in the correct position to make sure that they chop consistently.
The knives can also be installed and removed from inside the loading chamber of the BOSS JUNIOR on low-profile loader wagons. By folding up the cover flap, the knives can be unlocked and hinged to the rear or completely removed from under the loader wagon.
