Chopping system
34 mm Short chop
The proven POWERCUT short-chop chopping system on board the JUMBO 5000 series is the ideal solution for efficient harvesting with the best chopping quality. The 45 knives are arranged asymmetrically to the rotor tines for a clean and tidy chopping action and are individually protected against foreign objects.
1 EASY MOVE
The EASY MOVE knife bank offers maximum ease of use and straightforward maintenance. The knife bank requires no tools and pivots out to the sides.
2 Central knife release system
The hydraulic central knife release system is operated at the press of a button and allows rapid knife replacement without the need for tools.
3 Patented individual knife protection system
The knife protection system is operated by a trigger mechanism and provides double protection: the knife is first damped and then swung out of the interlock. Afterwards it is automatically returned to its original position.
EASY MOVE swing-out knife bank
The unique EASY MOVE swing-out knife bank makes light work of changing and reversing the knives.
Press the button on the side of the wagon to swing the knife bank out. The knives simply swivel out after the mechanical safety interlock is released. Servicing is then safe and easy to perform from the side.
A central hydraulic knife release system is standard. Simply press the release button to disengage the knives so they can easily be removed without the need for tools.
Simply convenient
The easily accessible swing-out knife bank is located in an ergonomic position for maintenance, service and inspection work. Thanks to this comfortable way of working, knives are checked more often and the loader wagon is always in peak operating condition. The knives can be changed or reversed simply and safely from outside the loader wagon thanks to EASY MOVE.
Knife quality
The knives are designed for optimum throughput and made of hardened DURASTAR tool steel. The serrated edge ensures a consistent and precise chop.
The extra thick rear edge of the knife guarantees maximum reliability.
Individual knife protection system
PÖTTINGER protects your loader wagon with our patented individual knife protection system. Foreign objects are a danger to your livestock and the loader wagon. Moreover, downtime is costly and reduces the quality of the forage.
The triggering force of the knife protection system is adapted to the high throughput capacity. The knives are held in the correct position to make sure that they chop consistently. The knife retention springs and rollers on the individual knife protection system are swung safely out of the way. This greatly reduces the contamination of the knife holders.
1 Foreign objects trigger the protection system. The knife moves in the direction of crop flow.
2 The trigger roller is lifted out of its holder behind the knife.
3 The resistance of the knife is suddenly reduced so that the knife can allow the foreign object to pass through.
4 The knife is then automatically returned to its original position.
Any stones in the forage are not pulverised. The livestock leave the foreign objects untouched at the feed barrier, thus preventing injuries to the digestive tract.
TWIN BLADE
Turnover instead of replace with the optional TWIN BLADE reversible knives on the JUMBO 5000. Its new and patented shape gives you double the service life. With TWIN BLADE you have a fresh blade to hand without needing to sharpen the knives or to have a second set with you.
