Perfect ground tracking

Perfect ground tracking protects the sward

The pneumatic jockey wheels (15x6.0-6) touch the ground at the point of tine contact and guide the pick-up perfectly over every undulation. Trailed jockey wheels (16x6.5-8) are optional. The pick-up is raised hydraulically and switches off automatically. The pick-up is height-adjustable for straightforward adaptation to differing operating conditions. Suspension springs also alleviate the pick-up weight so less pressure is exerted on the ground. A wind guard with swath roller ensures perfect forage flow even when loading at speed and with short and wet crop (swath roller optional).

Clean base forage has a high value. Farmers confirm that only PÖTTINGER's controlled pick-up system manages that. High loading speeds require a reliable and powerful pick-up. Only a clean crop can guarantee trouble-free fermentation for high quality silage. Ground tracking and careful crop pick-up have been tested by PÖTTINGER in numerous trials. The result: a unique pick-up system with precision-engineered details for the best forage quality.

  • The wide pick-up delivers incredible performance even with heavy or irregular swaths.

  • When the pick-up is raised it switches off automatically with the loading rotor.

  • Floating pick-up

  • Two jointed support arms ensure the pick-up has complete freedom of movement.

  • 200 mm of sideways movement for extremely bumpy ground.

  • The pick-up features five tine arms and Super-C steel tines. The central metal support disc provides a high level of strength. The narrow tine spacing of 57 mm means that the forage is collected reliably even at high driving speeds.

  • Tempered transfer plates filter contamination out of the forage. This protects the chopping unit.

  • The pick-up is controlled from one end by a cam track made of steel with a solid centre. The cam rollers with twin deep-grooved ball bearings are heavy duty designed for high quantities of forage. and an inspection cap is integrated into the housing.
