2018 Pottinger NOVACAT ALPHA MOTION front-type mowers 301

The heart of PTTINGER disc mowers is the cutter bar, proven over thousands of cuts in the field. Disc mower cutter bars are developed and built at the company's main plant in Grieskirchen a quality product made in Austria. First-class cutting quality, low drag resistance and strength are the trademarks of these cutter bars. Engineered details guarantee you reliable operation and contribute significantly to an extended service life.

The rounded, low profile front edge lets the cutter bar glide smoothly over the ground and separates the crop tidily from the sward. The conveyor effect has been improved by the rounded conical surfaces of the mower discs. The crop flows through smoothly and uniformly, maintaining full cutting capacity in all operating conditions. Integrated paddles keep the cutter bar surface clean. PTTINGER guarantees trouble-free downhill mowing, even on steep slopes.

The sleek cutter bar design is only 28 cm deep, perfect for enabling the best possible ground tracking. The mower blades rotate very close to the surface of the cutter bar and the counter knife. The optimised overlap of blade paths ensures a clean and uniform mowing pattern.

ALPHA MOTION technology is based on the advanced design of the mower mounting frame. Compared to other mounting systems, not only do the guide arms respond to every undualation of the terrain, but also the mounting frame itself. As a result, the cutter bar inclines upwards over bumps and slants downwards into dips.

You can hitch up these mowers to any tractor between 60 and 360 hp, regardless of tractor make and type. The different types of hitch have no influence on the guidance of the mower. The cleverly thought out geometry of the headstock places the centre of gravity as close as possible to the tractor in all working positions.

Unique ground tracking to protect the sward and the machine. Two powerful springs are integrated in the headstock. The springs ensure an even release of the mowing unit over a distance of 20" / 500 mm. A simple, yet highly effective pressure for all usage types. The mower unit is also raised when there is an incline and lowered for downhill slopes.
