Description
he BOSS JUNIOR is PÖTTINGER's smallest model in its loader wagon series.
Its low weight and low centre of gravity make it the right choice when it comes to precision work in alpine terrain.
Advantages
Controlled pick-up
On the BOSS JUNIOR pick-up, the 5 tine carriers are controlled by a steel cam track. This design has the following advantages:
-
Slightly trailing tine angle for better contour tracking without scraping the ground
-
Active forage transfer to the loading unit by using the full length of the tine
-
Tine dips down at a right angle to prevent the forage from being drawn in
-
Less combing of the forage due to lower speed for better chopping quality (fewer lengthwise stalks)
-
Reduced ejection due to low speed
-
Reliable collection driving downhill
-
Maximum conveying performance at high driving speeds
-
Reliable intake, even in difficult harvesting conditions
SUPERMATIC loading system
The classic SUPERMATIC loading unit on the BOSS JUNIOR achieves a high level of forage conservation and has low power requirements. This system conserves the forage during transfer because the conveyor tines retract horizontally and no material is dragged in. The 3-section conveyor tines are driven by a heavy-duty roller link chain with automatic tensioning system. As a result of the central split and offset mounting of the 3 conveyor tines, the load is distributed on both sides to 6 cam rollers and 2 cam tracks. That protects the drive system and is the guarantee for durability.
The BOSS JUNIOR can be equipped with 4, 8 or 12 knives. Because the forage is guided across each knife by a double tine, high chopping quality is ensured.
- Tractor power: 20 to 60 Hp
- PTO speed: 540 rpm
- Driveline
The BOSS JUNIOR is driven by a PTO shaft with integrated cam-type clutch. Overload protection is 720 Nm. A roller chain is responsible for the power transmission to the loading unit and the pick-up. This makes the system durable and low-maintenance.
Precise chopping
A precision chop is the basis for high-quality forage. It ensures better forage acceptance from your livestock and increases milk yield while saving on concentrates. On the BOSS JUNIOR the cam-controlled tines on the pick-up gently convey the forage to the loading unit tines. The forage is then conveyed by the double tines through the chopping system knives. Here, both wilted and wet, heavy batches of forage are chopped cleanly and evenly. Depending on the crop being harvested, any number of knives between zero and 12 can be selected. This gives you full flexibility for all types of applications while ensuring the highest forage quality.
Perfectly chopped
The knives are produced from hardened tool steel and their extra-thick rear edge guarantees a long life. The serration on one side ensures a precise cut even if the knife edge is blunt. The forage batches are always cut rather than torn off. In addition, the elongated blade geometry ensures a slicing and clean cut.
Individual knife selection
Depending on what is required, the BOSS JUNIOR can be equipped with any number of knives from 0 to 12. It is fitted with 4 knives as standard. This is the ideal number for loading hay.
With the maximum number of knives fitted, the spacing is reduced to 120 mm. Because the knife configuration can be adapted to all types of crop, the highest quality forage can be ensured throughout the whole harvest season.
Lightweight construction with big advantages
It is precisely because of its low centre of gravity and wide wheelbase that the BOSS JUNIOR has become so popular, especially in steep terrain. The low-profile loader wagon is optionally available with a DIN capacity of 11.5 or 14.25 m3 to deliver high loading performance, reliability and convenience despite its lightweight design.
Dry forage extension
Thanks to the integrated springs, the dry forage extension is easy to fold. This function enables the overall height of the wagon to be reduced so that it can access low entrances.
The mechanical dry forage extension also features tightly tensioned roof ropes to retain the load. As a result, the load volume of the BOSS JUNIOR can be varied flexibly.
Because the height of the wagon can be reduced by 710 mm the BOSS JUNIOR can also be parked in low barns.
Flexible tailgate
The tailgate is fitted with an optional locking system. As a result you can unload the wagon inside low sheds.
Normally, the tailgate opens upwards. The tailgate can also be fixed, however, so that it can open to the rear without folding upwards. It is possible to switch quickly and conveniently between the two tailgate unloading positions by hand. Once unloading is finished the tailgate is closed again hydraulically and locked in place.
