Alpine terrain sets its own rules. Steep and often bumpy ground plays a particularly challenging role here - both in terms of work safety and work quality.
Sturdy machines are a prerequisite for protecting the operator, the machine, and the sward.
Only consistent grassland care can achieve a harmonious plant crop with a dense sward. It is very important that the sward is conserved during harvesting. This is because mechanical damage to the sward caused by the machines slipping can create gaps between the plants. Weeds and lower yield are the consequences.
Harvesting machines that are set up properly and, most importantly, are lightweight and steep terrain compatible, are essential factors in conserving your sward on steep slopes.
All our ALPINHIT linkage-mounted tedders feature a compact design. The short three-point headstock places the centre of gravity very close to the tractor, which contributes to the sturdiness of the machine. It also enhances safety during operation, even when the machines are raised at the headland.
