Both the pick-up and the cross conveyor belt are driven hydraulically. MERGENTO F ALPIN does not need its own hydraulic system. That saves weight.
The oil is supplied by a double-acting spool valve or single-acting spool valve with pressure-free return on the tractor.
For tractors that deliver less than 25 l/min oil flow to the spool valve, we offer an optional PTO-driven hydraulic unit that can be mounted on the rear hitch. The unit is driven at 540 U/min.
This separate configuration guarantees optimum weight distribution when used on steep slopes, especially for very small tractors.
For even more stability, a 100 kg ballast weight is available as an option for the hydraulic power unit.
