The optional MULTITAST jockey wheel on the pivoting headstock makes sure that the forage stays clean and tidy while conserving the sward. The jockey wheel tracks the ground immediately in front of the tine path and responds to each undulation. On approaching a rise, it lifts the rotor. On top of the bump, it guides the rotor downwards.
The MULTITAST jockey wheel is adjusted without the need for tools to set the required working height. The top link connects to the slotted hole on the headstock. Once set, the working height does not have to be readjusted every time it is attached - an advantage if the machine is frequently hitched and unhitched or if there are different drivers.
On the road, the transport lock on the slotted hole enhances safety.
The MULTITAST jockey wheel system is available as an option on the ALPINHIT 4.4 N and 6.6.
