The best forage for your success – Part 4
PÖTTINGER rakes deliver the best ground tracking
Rakes also make a significant contribution to improving forage quality. In our series "The best forage" we show you how MULTITAST ground tracking and TOPTECH PLUS rotor units rake in the best results.
1. Optimum ground tracking
Raking has a decisive influence on how much contamination enters the forage. The tines sweep the forage carefully away from the sward without touching the ground. The MULTITAST wheel right in front of the rotor, in combination with wide rotor axles, enables exact guidance over bumps in the ground.
2. Protects the crop
The large-diameter cam track is designed for smooth and precise cam roller guidance. Adjustable cam tracks ensure an exact match to all forage volumes. The rugged control shafts and tine arms resist extreme twisting and bending as well as stress applied by large quantities of heavy forage.
3. Easy to operate
The 5 and 6-wheel chassis on the inside of the rake arc and the cardanic rotor suspension guarantee precise guidance of the tines over bumps. The result is tidy raking work at the same time as protecting the sward. Because the tandem axles are adjustable, the angle of the rotors can be adjusted precisely to the operating conditions in just a few minutes. The leading MULTITAST wheels, proven equipment on more than a thousand machines, ensure that the tines do not scratch the ground on even the roughest terrain.
