The new Pöttinger NOVACAT X8
Also available with Collector for more flexibility and less swathing work at the same time
Pöttinger supports the principles of high-quality forage with ingenious technology: best possible ground hugging, low disintegration losses and precise operation without time-consuming operator intervention are the core elements.
And this is precisely where the innovation NOVACAT X8 begins when it comes to mower units: the heart of the machine is the proven Pöttinger cutter bar. With a working width of 8.3 metres, the new mower combination offers high performance and top raking quality. The mower combination can be operated either as a split configuration with combined front/rear mounting or with reverse travel system as a reverse drive combination. NOVAVAT X8 mowers are available with tine-type or roller-type conditioners or as a pure swath-forming mower unit without conditioner.

The tine-type conditioner has been completely redesigned and optimises crop flow. The interior protection is new and guarantees better access to the belt drive. Additionally, the new Pöttinger roller-type conditioner is also available with the polyurethane (PU) rollers driven on both sides. These have already been used successfully on trailed mowers and the NOVACAT V10 mower combination.
The side guards have been redesigned and can be folded out hydraulically using the Power Control system. A hydraulic transport interlock is featured as standard, making time-consuming lanyards and unpleasant wrenches for the driver a thing of the past. Operation is user-friendly and available in two versions (Select Control and Power Control). With Select Control, a straightforward pre-select controller, the functions are pre-selected on the control terminal and carried out by the tractor's single-acting control unit. The ISOBUS-compatible Power Control operating system offers top-level operating comfort and automation: hydraulic operation of the side guards, also of the front-mounted mower, hydraulic weight alleviation on request, hectare counter and working hour meter are just some of these features.
Individual belt lift is fitted as series on the NOVACAT X8 Collector with cross conveyors. The main advantages of the individual lift feature: 40% less swathing work because any spaces are used and therefore fewer passes are necessary. This results in increased flexibility with the centre swath and, in turn, the reduction in swathing work. Conventional swath merging and wide spreading are, of course, possible. It is no trouble at all to add a cross conveyor belt to a NOVACAT X8 with tine-type conditioner. This also has the added benefit that the mower units and the cross conveyor belts can be replaced as modules.

First-class cutting quality, low drag resistance and high stability are, therefore, the reliable features of the new NOVACAT X8 that have boosted the ratings of the mower unit in its class.
