Extra-dry (ED) conditioning: Conditioner with EXTRA DRY wide spread system, adjustable to different crop densities

NOTE: For conversion of a plain mower to a mower conditioner quick-change-pins and a set of transport wheels for conditioner need to be ordered separately!

EUROCAT drum-type mowers
   The newly-developed drums on the EUROCAT drum-type mowers deliver high-quality work in all conditions.
  • The ultimate design of drum body tackles the densest of crops without problem.
  • Not affected by dirt.
  • Swath can be placed using swath formers.
  • Changing from conditioner with wide-spread to swath formers takes just minutes.

Best crop flow
  • Low-slung design - trouble-free transfer from mower disc to conditioner.
  • Inner drum bodies are smaller diameter for improved clearance.
  • Heavy-duty inside body with large bearings.
  • Outer mower drum is bolted to gear trough for straightforward removal.
The big plus ...
EUROCAT with infinitely-variable cutting height adjustment system
  • The height of all 4 drums can be adjusted simultaneously from above.
  • The heavy-duty adjustment system is fully sealed in a metal housing encapsulated by a rubber boot.
Benefits:
  • Smooth working and always easy to adjust.
  • Easy access.
  • Cutting height adjustable from 35 to 60 mm.
  • High-cut saucers optional (20 mm extra cutting height).

Extra-dry-conditioner
   Extra dry conditioners carefully rub the layer of wax covering the crop. The forage is then deposited across the full width in an airy blanket. The power of the sun has immediate and full effect. Advantages of the "extra dry" technology:
  • Shorter drying period in the field, less risk from the weather.
  • Increasing energy content by up to 10% saves on concentrates.
  • Better silage quality due to rapid reduction in PH-value
  • No tedding (or less tedding) required, which saves time and simplifies the process.
New roller conditioner
The roller conditioner is especially suitable for lucerns and clovers due to its precision conditioning capabilities.
The profile of the new Pöttinger roller conditioner is spiral-shaped. The rollers intermesh to uniformly squash the stalks and produce a uniform blanket of forage. On Pöttinger conditioners both rollers are driven. The degree of conditioning can be adjusted by altering the spring-loading of the upper roller.

Conditioners with V-shaped tines
    • The wide rotor ensures that even really large quantities pass through easily. Robust bearing assemblies on either side.
    • Conditioned crop spread over the full width - thin layer, optimized degree of conditioning.
    • V-shaped conditioner tines on all units mounted on Pöttinger mowersarranged in a spiral for a smooth flow of forage without torque peaks
    • The steel tines are mounted in rubber bushes.
    • Impact from foreign objects is absorbed and the crop is protected

    Removable in minutes ...
    If you don't need the conditioner you simply remove it; e.g. for the daily green feed requirement. Open two quick-release coupling pins, release the rotor drive belt tensioner and remove the belts. Attach auxiliary wheels on either side and wheel the complete conditioner away - it's as easy as that.
     

    IMPORTANT!


    Steel fingers
    with rubber dampers. The absorption characteristics of the rubber elements protect the conditioner and the forage.


    Plastic fingers
    on NOVACAT 225/265 ED for lower weight so that they can be operated using smaller tractors.

    Remove on your own
    Release coupling pins - remove v-belts - wheel the conditioner away.

     Rotor drive
    l No additional angular gear unit required. l Power is transmitted direct from the cutter bar shaft to the rotor using drive belts.



    "Floating Cut"
       Centre pivot suspension
    Always ensures that the whole cutter bar is supported evenly.

    Benefits:
    • Better response on uneven ground for fast and tidy mowing
    • Evenly spread load from inside to outside
    • The outer skid of the cutter bar comes into contact with the ground before the inside one, for optimum protection of the stubble.
    Countersprings

    Pöttinger mowers exert a pressure on the ground of no more than between 70 and 100 kg. That is how the sward remains undamaged.

    The pressure the cutter bar exerts on the ground can be adjusted quickly and easily using a pin-in-hole matrix.

    Benefits of the countersprings
    • "Floating cut"
    • Protects stubble
    • Light-weight, low drag, especially for slopes
    • Low wear on skids
      IMPORTANT!








    You've got to be really great to deliver the highest performance. Heavy-duty construction, state-of-the-art centre pivot suspension and precision countersprings make the EUROCAT drum mowers unbeatable.

    EUROCAT 275 H and EUROCAT 315 H/ED
    High performance mower with 4 equally sized drums with 2,70 m or 3,05 m working width.
  • EUROCAT 275 H also available with extra-dry conditioner
  • Plus-types with infinitely-variable cutting height adjustment system
  • Mow without leaving the cab

    • Convenient, from driver's seat. Pull the lanyard, wait for the mower to lower into place, and go for it.
    • Good access when raised for changing knives, cleaning and adjusting cutting height.

    Field transport position

    • For headland turns the mower is just raised to the side using the mower ram so that the tractor three point linkage is always in the same position and the tractor hydraulics do not need to be in continual operation, and no lower limit stop is required.
    • The P.T.O. shaft is free to rotate in any position, sure protection against driver mistakes.

    Three transport settings

    • Raised hydraulically to the side
    • Pivoted to the rear and raised - minimal transport width (centre of gravity close to tractor)
    • Just pivoted to rear for low clearances.

    Completely reliable

    • Swath placement with swath formers possible.
    • Changing from swath formers to conditioner with wide-spread takes just minutes.
    • Trouble-free moving of really heavy crops due to best design of drum bodies for smooth crop transfer to conditioner.
