Technical highlights

Floating pick-up

High loading speeds require a reliable and powerful pick-up. Only a clean crop can guarantee trouble-free fermentation for high energy-content silage. That is what the Pöttinger floating pick-up is designed for.

The wide pick-up delivers incredible performance even with heavy and irregular swaths. There is less stress on the driver.
Pick-up widths: FARO and EUROPROFI: 1.85 m.
Six rows of tines and a tine spacing of 55 mm - every stem is picked up reliably even at high travelling speeds.
The pick-up tines are bolted onto heavy gauge tubes. Heavy-duty Super "C"-quality tines have a longer service life.

The Pöttinger secret:
A newly-developed pickup suspension system with heavy-duty floating frame.

Two hinged support links at either end provide excellent ground hugging. This pick-up adjusts both horizontally and vertically to the ground contours. Nothing is left behind: the turf remains undamaged and no dirt is picked up.
The fine-tuned counter-springs absorb any shocks and prevent the pick-up from sinking in on damp ground.
The height-adjustable rubber tyred wheels contact the ground on exactly the same line as the tines and guide the pick-up perfectly through each hollow.
Steered jockey wheels enable the pick-up to corner with even less damage - standard equipment on the EUROPROFI, optional for FARO.

Swath roller
The height adjustable swath guide plate combined with a swath roller make sure you get perfect crop flow even at high speed and with short, wet crop. Standard equipment on the EUROPROFI.

Pick-up!

Tempered transfer plates
Between the pick-up and the rotor the crop passes over transfer plates. Here, any foreign objects (such as stones) are able to fall through, away from the crop. This system is only available from Pöttinger. Both the rotor and the knives are protected.

Side inspection port
for quick check of rollers and cam track.

The pickup tine control rollers
are made from dual deep-groove bearings and are designed for really punishing conditions.

JUMBO pick-up transmission
A heavy-duty bevel gear transmission submerged in oil ensures the pick-up runs smoothly in extreme operating conditions.

A selection of axles and tyres

Increasing load volumes and transport speeds necessitate robust and soil-protecting chassis. Pöttinger has made great efforts in this area. They have responded with tyres with large footprints, tridem axles and a unique 8-wheel chassis.

Tandem axle with parabolic suspension
Parabolic suspension with large spring-to-axle spacing and compensator for height regulation. Ideal suspension hopping properties at the silo and smooth running in fields and on the road. Stable trailing linkages apply the braking and steering force. An advantage of parabolic suspension with a large spring-to-axle spacing is better handling control on slopes.

Large
spring-to-axle spacing

Pneumatic brakes
The 4-wheel pneumatic brake system with automatic load-dependent braking system (ALB) controls ensures safe braking at high speed and with heavy loads. Can also be fitted with ABS if required.

Hydraulic braking
Hydraulic brakes can be supplied for some countries.

Jockey steering axle

Axle unit for protecting the turf and reducing the power requirement for cornering. When reversing or driving at speed, the steering axle can be locked into place using a separate hydraulic fitting. A system that protects the tyres.

TRIDEM Chassis
Soil protection with three axles
Protecting the soil is the first priority. The Pöttinger tridem chassis distributes high loads across a large area so that the pressure on the ground remains low.
The large axle regulation is a special feature. A hydropneumatic suspension enables an axle pendulum swing of 10.63” / 270 mm. This allows the axle load to be distributed evenly. The trailer benefits from reduced side forces and runs quietly – with steering on both sides. Tests show that this saves fuel. The axle regulation ensures even wear of brakes on all axles.

Tridem chassis

Bodenschutz ist oberstes Gebot. Das Pöttinger Tridem-Fahrwerk verteilt hohe Lasten auf eine große Aufstandsfläche, so dass der Bodendruck gering bleibt.

8-Wheel-Chassis

Perfect soil protection
Heavy machinery and high wheel pressure make soil protection a central issue. The 8-wheel chassis significantly reduces soil compaction.
On this unique chassis the wheels sit in pairs on the self-aligning axles. The rear axle pairs trail freely, thereby protecting both the wheels and the turf. A hydraulic leveller with patented pendulum swing ensures optimum pressure distribution. This improves slope efficiency.
The hydraulic suspension optimises driving comfort, and pneumatic or hydraulic braking systems ensure a high braking performance even at speed.
Due to the lower platform height in comparison with 26.5” tyres, the loading rotor can move more freely.

Power Control Simulation

Detailed information

A medium-sized silage trailer requiring lower horsepower has been developed in the form of the new FARO trailer.

BODY
The chassis of the FARO silage trailer range is a bolted frame construction of C 220x70x50x5QSTE fine grain steel. The closed steel body is constructed to take heavy loads. Sturdy platform profiles, closely spaced, provide high stability. Profile panels with smooth sides and a special coating ensure that the forage is unloaded smoothly and completely.

TRANSMISSION

Unique drive line

Inlet gear: The robust, spiral toothed gear is ideally designed. The drive line leads from a single-row high-performance roller chain to the loading rotor and then on to the pickup.
Rotor transmission: The rotor is driven via a simple roller chain (1 1/2 inches) with automatic chuck. The transmission chains of the rotors and pickup are automatically lubricated when the pickup is elevated.
The scraper floor transmission is positioned on the side and is driven by the tractor hydraulics. The speed can be freely controlled from the operating console.
Loading rotor transmission: The loading rotor transmission is protected and on the right-hand side of the trailer. The drive shaft is secured with a cam clutch coupling with 1,200 Nm.

PICKUP

The wide pickup delivers incredible cropping performance even with heavy or irregular swaths.

Pickup

The pickup is controlled using one steel cam track with a solid centre. The control rollers, two-row, permanently lubricated groove bearings, are sturdy and designed for large amounts of forage. A control cap is integrated into the housing.
Tempered transfer plates separate the forage from the dirt. This protects the cutting unit.

The pickup has six rows of tines with "Super C” steel tines. The central metal support disc provides high stability. The narrow tine spacing means that the forage is collected safely even at high driving speeds.

LOADING SYSTEM

Rotomatic	The Rotomatic-loading system has a diameter of 30.31”/ 770 mm and consists of 7 rows of tinesThe hardened feed tines are made of fine-grain boron steel that is 0.24”/ 6 mm thick.
The Rotomatic loading rotor is located in a frame with self-aligning roller bearings. Minimal maintenance is required. The automatic chain lubrication for the main transmission and pickup is standard to the range.

CUTTING UNIT
This unique-to-the-market pivotable knife bank is optional to the range.

1. Easy lowering of knife bank by pressing the button on the left-hand side of the trailer.
2. Undo the bolting mechanism bolts and pivot the bank out to the side.
3. Release the knives using the lever.

LOADING
The constant force progression when loading without torque peaks is a feature of the FARO feed channel. The automatic loading system (optional) ensures that the loading chamber is optimally filled.

UNLOADING
L-type trailers
Automatic unloading system:
Sequence control of tailgate and scraper floor.
The wide opening enables quick unloading.

Scraper floor

A heavy duty hydraulic motor provides the transmission. The speed can be freely controlled. The scraper floor can also be driven by a two-stage motor.

Proportioning trailers (D-type)
A uniform carpet of forage is a prerequisite for perfect compaction at the silo. The automatic unloading system for proportioning trailers takes the stress off the driver and protects the machine.

CHASSIS
Increasing load volumes and transport speeds necessitate robust, ground-protecting chassis. Pöttinger has made great efforts in this area. The answer comes in the form of wide-tread tyres and a stable chassis.

Spring-suspension tandem axles
The compound suspension optimally distributes the ground pressure over both axles. Huge leaf springs (9 springs) provide the necessary safety.

Spring-suspension tandem axles

The 4-wheel pneumatic brake system with automatic load-dependent braking system (ALB) controls ensures safe braking at high speed and with heavy loads. A jockey steering axle (optional for the FARO 6300 and 8000) protects the tyres and turf.
