NOTE: For conversion of a plain mower to a mower conditioner quick-change-pins and a set of transport wheels for conditioner need to be ordered separately!
Extra-dry-Conditioner
Extra dry conditioners carefully rub the layer of wax covering the crop. The forage is then deposited across the full width in an airy blanket. The power of the sun has immediate and full effect. Advantages of the "extra dry" technology:
Shorter drying period in the field, less risk from the weather.
Increasing energy content by up to 10% saves on concentrates.
Better silage quality due to rapid reduction in PH-value.
No tedding (or less tedding) required, which saves time and simplifies the process.
New roller conditioner
The roller conditioner is especially suitable for lucerns and clovers
due to its precision conditioning capabilities.
The profile of the new Pöttinger roller
conditioner is spiral-shaped. The rollers intermesh to uniformly squash the stalks and produce a uniform blanket of forage. On Pöttinger conditioners both rollers are driven. The degree of conditioning can be
adjusted by altering the spring-loading of the upper roller.
Conditioners with V-shaped tines
The wide rotor ensures that even really large quantities pass through easily. Robust bearing assemblies on either side.
Conditioned crop spread over the full width - thin layer, optimized degree of conditioning.
V-shaped conditioner tines on all units mounted on Pöttinger mowersarranged in a spiral for a smooth flow of forage without torque peaks.
The steel tines are mounted in rubber bushes.
Impact from foreign objects is absorbed and the crop is protected.
Removable in minutes ...
If you don't need the conditioner you simply remove it; e.g. for the daily green feed requirement.
Open two quick-release coupling pins, release the rotor drive belt tensioner and remove the belts.
Attach auxiliary wheels on either side and wheel the complete conditioner away - it's as easy as that.
IMPORTANT!
Steel fingers with rubber dampers. The absorption characteristics of the rubber elements protect the conditioner and the forage.
Plastic fingers on NOVACAT 225/265 ED for lower weight so that they can be operated using smaller tractors.
Remove on your own
Release coupling pins - remove v-belts - wheel the conditioner away.
Rotor drive
No additional angular gear unit required. Power is
transmitted direct from the cutter bar shaft to the rotor using drive belts.
The cutter bar - the new dimension
Best crop flow Contamination-free pickup and transfer of the crop are important criteria in mower technology for the careful processing of forage. The contoured shape of the conical mower discs increases the effect of the paddles on crop flow, lowering the drag resistance of the mower. Streamlined mower discs. Forage flows through the mower easily and uniformly. Tractor power requirement is lower as a result; dynamic crop flow means the mower is operating at peak efficiency all the time.
Optimised counter chop area
The slanted leading edge of the cutter bar allows the earth to flow beneath, separating it from the crop. There is a minimal gap between the upper edge of the cutter bar and the counter-rotating knives. This means that even heavy, flattened crop, or dry unfertilised grass can be cut to the highest quality.
Tidy and uniform cut due to optimised overlap of knife paths. The sward is protected through the design of the smooth underside of the cutter bar, rounded skids at both ends and no sharp edges.
Assembly and transmission
Hardened mower discs
The oval, smooth mower discs are made of hardened fine-grained steel for extra long service. The sleek construction ensures power-saving crop flow.
Rotor shaft The rotor shaft is bolted to the gear wheels. Each shaft can therefore be replaced economically if necessary.
Seal The bearing flange and fittings are tightly sealed with a rubber O-ring seal.
Bearings
Heavy-duty, twin race angular contact bearings with a theoretical bearing spacing of 60 mm guarantee the best absorption of impacts – similar to a car axle.
Gear wheels
The bevel gears are arranged in a straight line and the disc gear wheels and idler gears are almost the same size (44 and 35 teeth). The bearing is subjected to less stress with an idler gear on either side. All gear wheels are hardened and ground for smooth running and a long service life. The teeth are 20 mm wide and there are always two teeth in contact.
Highest quality materials
Welded, inside shoe-free cutter bar made of best quality steel. Precision milled on CNC-controlled machining Centre.
PERFECT!
Maintenance – unrestricted access
Straightforward maintenance is possible due to modular construction: bevel gears and bearings can be removed as a single unit, idler gears are also easy to remove through the large openings. It doesn’t come any easier. Shaft end held in the gear by a lock-nut - cost-effective to replace
Large, machined gear wheels Gear wheels are 20 mm thick and engage on both sides for smooth running and a long service life.
Quick-change knife system
High demands on mowing quality and performance require direct and reliable solutions in terms of servicing and maintenance.
Equipping all NOVACAT mowers with the quick-change knife system is proof of this.
The knife mounting bolt is bolted onto the disc and can be replaced if required - economical wear part.
Impact and centrifugal forces are absorbed by the pin and mower disc - an advantage on stony ground.
The knife is secured by a heavy-duty spring clip.
Special knife key for straightforward and rapid knife replacement.
Quality and precision engineering for safe operation.
Reliable operation for a cost-effective and long service life.
Guaranteed availability thanks to your Pöttinger dealership partner.

Fitting and removal
The mower is equipped with adjustable mounting pins so it can be adapted to any type of tractor. 3-point rear-mounting Cat. II, Cat. III width II also available. The track width of the tractor is not an issue either. The mower can be shifted sideways on the support frame to ensure optimum use of the whole mowing width.
Transmission
Powerful transmission train features: PTO – angular gear unit – c.v. joint inside paddle drum – bevel gear on first mower disc. Exceptional smooth running is guaranteed. A friction clutch and freewheel provide optimum protection.
Rear-mounted disc mowers with centre pivot suspension Effective weight alleviation - for the "floating cut". To ensure an uniform ground pressure over the whole width of the cutter bar.
Breakaway device
If the mower collides with any obstacles it pivots to the rear. The triggering force is adjustable.
Mechanical system
Triggering pressure can be set by adjusting a cup spring. Two interconnected prongs disengage reliably when overloaded. The operator can disengage the interlock pin from the driver's seat so that the mower can be pivoted upwards into the transport position.
Hydraulics
Breakaway device and pivoting mechanism are combined in one system. If the mower overloads or impacts any obstacles the mower pivots away and can be brought back into the working position hydraulically. A safety check valve secures the mower when pivoted for safe road transport.
Lifting / Transport
The mower is lifted using a single-acting hydraulic cylinder. The tractor hitch does not need to be activated.
Lift to the side: mower is raised to the side. The side guards can be folded away to reduce the transport height where required.
Pivot to the rear: the ideal position for narrow or low clearances. Operator has a clear view to the rear.
Pivot to rear and raise: the mower is close to the tractor so less weight is taken off the front axle. The PTO shaft is still free to rotate in all these positions so there is no risk of damage.
