Description
Losing tines during tedding is not just annoying, it also puts animals and following harvesting machinery at risk.
Whether tedding silage or hay, on level ground or hillsides - POTTINGER HIT tedders get the job done perfectly. Innovative DYNATECH rotor technology ensures a clean and tidy spread pattern with maximum forage conservation. As you would expect from PÖTTINGER the tedders ground tracking works perfectly and provides ideal conditions for harvesting high quality forage.
Advantages
PÖTTINGER tines – for clean crop handling
Clean raking by the tines is a basic prerequisite for drying the crop evenly. No forage should be left untouched on the ground. The key element for success here are the PÖTTINGER tines with their offset legs. These have the decisive advantage that both legs are at the same distance from the ground. As a result, the tine unit picks up the forage cleanly and evenly from the ground. The inner tine leg does not scrape the ground and therefore does not contaminate the crop. The outer tine leg picks up the forage earlier and stays at ground level longer, improving the overlap of two adjacent rotors.
Perfect ground tracking of the rotor tines
To ensure contamination-free pick-up of the crop, the tines and rotor wheels on HIT tedders function as a perfectly coordinated system. The rotor wheels are located very close to the arc of tine engagement. This ensures optimum ground tracking of the tines. The large flotation tires ensure smooth operation even on bumpy and soft ground. To minimize forage contamination, the tines should pass at least 3 cm above the ground.
Tine mounting
The curved tine carriers ensure that the tines are firmly secured. They also give the tines extreme resistance and ensure that they do not spring back and let go of the forage too soon. Sufficient space between the tine springs and the tine arms enables the best elasticity and movement.
Tine security system
The tine mounting is designed to double as a tine security system, this covers – all eventualities. The large contact surface also improves the support of tine spring for an even longer service life
Robust frame construction
The robust frame construction of thick-walled, bolted tube profiles makes HIT tedders extremely resilient and durable.
Double sided frame hinges
260 mm wide double-sided frame hinges with 50 mm thick pins provide maximum freedom of movement combined with the highest strength. They are equipped with bushings and are easy to grease - for a long service life.
Backlash free drive joints
The drive train of our HIT tedders is equipped with sealed single and double constant velocity joints. These ensure consistent, smooth, backlash free drive to the rotors. Even with large working widths, there is no backlash from the innermost to the outermost rotor. This ensures that the tines pick up the crop precisely and produce an even spread. On our tedders with eight or more rotors, positive-locking finger couplings are only installed for the 180 ° folding sections. All joints can be rotated in any position. This eliminates the risk of operator errors.
Rugged rotor gearbox units
The bevel gearboxes feature large gears and bearings. The closed angular gearboxes are equipped with a greasing system. Oil loss is therefore not possible.
Four times cleaner with DYNATECH
The DYNATECH rotor unit is the heart of every PÖTTINGER HIT tedder. The engineered geometry of the tine carriers, a small rotor diameter and the offset length of the tine legs make DYNATECH unbeatable in delivering tedding work that is four times cleaner:
-
Cleanly collected crop – nothing is left untouched
-
Clean forage – minimum crude ash ingress
-
Neat spread pattern – uniform distribution of the forage
-
Clean machine – rotors remain free of forage
The best ground tracking
First-class tedding across the entire working width places high demands on the ground tracking of the machines. At PÖTTINGER it is more than a claim - we actually deliver it. Take a look for yourself.
Thanks to the unique ground tracking along and across the direction of travel, all tines always work at the correct distance from the ground, regardless of whether with a working width of 4.4 m or 17 m. The forage is picked up cleanly over the entire surface and dirt ingress is reduced to a minimum. The sward is also conserved as a result.
Ideal conditions for the best forage quality and optimal, weed-free growth of the crop.
Floating frame - for perfect adaptation
For perfect ground tracking at right-angles to the direction of travel, each rotor can adapt independently to every contour. On all our tedder models up to 12 rotors, each rotor is mounted on its own frame. The double hinges between each rotor frame provide a generous freedom of movement.
On our flagship tedder, the HIT HT 17160 with a working width of 17 m, the inner six rotors are mounted in pairs. The outer ten rotors are each mounted on its own frame, as with all other models. This guarantees clean crop take-up even on rough ground.
MULTITAST jockey wheel – for mounted and trailed tedders
The proven PÖTTINGER MULTITAST jockey wheel system keeps your forage clean and conserves the sward. The optional jockey wheel on the pivoting headstock tracks the ground immediately in front of the tine path and responds to each undulation. The ideal gap between the tines and the ground is maintained. You can now drive faster and can achieve a higher output as a result. In addition, the tines last longer.
The MULTITAST jockey wheel is adjusted without the need for tools to set the required working height. The top link connects to the slotted hole on the headstock. Once set, the working height does not have to be readjusted every time it is attached, an advantage if the machine is frequently hitched and unhitched or if there are different drivers.
On the road, the transport lock on the slotted hole enhances safety.
