These cutter bars – proven thousands of times in the field – are the heart of every disc mower made by PÖTTINGER, including the NOVACAT F ALPIN. These cutter bars are developed and built at our headquarters in Grieskirchen - a quality product made in Austria.

The PÖTTINGER cutter bar features an impressively sleek and dynamic design. The 4 cm high cutter bar guarantees optimum crop flow. And because it is only 28 cm wide, it delivers the best ground tracking – ideal for achieving a first class cut.
The streamlined leading edge of the cutter bar allows the soil to flow underneath, separating it cleanly from the crop.
Cleaning paddles prevent dirt from accumulating on the upper surface. The rounded disc surfaces improve the conveyor effect across the cutter bar.
The clamped mower blades create a tidy mowing pattern. They rotate very close to the surface of the cutter bar and the counter knife. This guarantees clean and tidy cutting even in damp and muddy conditions.
The blades are locked securely in place by powerful spring clips. What is more, they are easy to change. The blade pin is bolted to the mower disc. and can be inexpensively replaced if need be.
The counter knife is also clamped in place, so it is easy to replace.
The optimised overlap of blade paths ensures a clean and uniform mowing pattern.
On NOVACAT F ALPIN models, all mower discs rotate inward as standard. This guides the flow of forage over the cutter bar and ensures reliability even when mowing downhill on extremely steep terrain.
The key to the cutter bar’s compact and sleek design, and all its advantages, is its precision-welded construction. This guarantees supreme robustness while maintaining compactness.
Another advantage of the welded cutter bar is that the gear oil remains permanently where it should be – in the gearbox. Even after years of use, the cutter bar remains tight, so there are no oil leaks.
