Slope ready and reliable - PÖTTINGER developed its ALPIN mowers to meet these requirements back in 2003 and has continued their development ever since.
Especially in alpine regions, harvest windows are particularly short and valuable. During harvesting there must be no breakdowns or downtime, because the next rainfall is on the horizon.
At the same time, every kilo of weight that can be saved is also important in hilly terrain. Just like the compactness of the machine. For best driving stability on steep inclines, the centre of gravity must be as close as possible to the tractor.
Lightweight, smooth running yet robust mowers are PÖTTINGER's answer to these specifications.
The key feature of NOVACAT F ALPIN mowers is the integration of the drive train into the frame. The input gearbox is located in the main frame of the mower. Thanks to this unique design, the construction of the entire machine is shortened. The centre of gravity is only 350 mm in front of the mounting frame. Two diagonal support arms mounted behind the outer mowing drums carry the cutter bar. They extend the main frame so that the frame itself is narrower. This saves weight while maintaining a robust construction.
