4.40 to 10.70 m Working width
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.
The best forage quality is the basis for your success
The production of high-quality basic ration from meadows, pastures and whole crop is the basis of every grassland farm. Ruminants are fussy about their forage. The quality of their basic ration will determine whether your animals consume the forage in high quantities, or not. In addition to energy content, odour and taste, a low crude ash content plays a decisive role.
They go for a basic ration that is clean and nutritious. The amount of concentrates used can be reduced. This cuts forage costs while at the same time improving animal health. The bottom line is that you benefit from clean, high quality forage with more profit from your farm business.
Yet producing the best forage is not done by coincidence. The foundation for this is laid by the botanical composition of the crop. The volume and quality yielded here must be maintained along the entire harvest chain.
Leave nothing behind
If you harvest during the phase when the buds or panicles are forming, the crop has a dry matter content of around 20 %. In order for the crop to be stored properly, this must still be raised to a greater or lesser extent depending on the storage method.
For best storage stability, none of the forage should be wet. That is why the forage must be distributed evenly over the surface without forming heaps and, if necessary, turned over at least once. Depending on the rate of wilting, there is a greater or lesser risk of losing valuable organic nutrients through disintegration losses in the field. The drier the forage, the higher the risk. Forage conservation is therefore the be-all and end-all.
This is exactly what the tedders from PÖTTINGER stand for. The optimum rotor diameters and the sweeping tines on the proven DYNATECH rotors, in combination with matched rotor speeds, reduce the risk of disintegration losses to a minimum.
The highest forage quality
For clean and tidy spreading work, the tines must reach all the forage. This is the only way to ensure uniform drying of the crop. At the same time, dirt ingress needs to be avoided. This is because forage contamination has a doubly negative effect in terms of supplying nutrients to livestock:
- Valuable nutrients in the forage are diluted
- Lower forage intake by the livestock
Harvesting machines therefore need to work as close to the ground as possible without scraping. If the field is not level, special attention must be paid to ground tracking of the machinery.
Precision ground tracking by the jockey wheels, floating frame sections and the unique swept shape of the rotor tines guarantee that HIT tedders deliver minimum dirt ingress and a uniform spread pattern.

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.
HIT tedders deliver what they promise: Reliability and durability. When harvesting forage, what counts is sturdy machinery you can depend on.
At PÖTTINGER we use only high quality components in the manufacture of our tedders. Ingenious details make the HIT tedders uniquely reliable.
This starts with the driveline and ends with the outermost tine. Friction-locked single and double constant velocity joints, robust bevel gears, pressed rotary dishes and solid tine arms work together as a perfectly matched unit to ensure maximum service life.
High quality cathodic dip priming and powder coating guarantee elasticity and durability. Featuring eye-catching colours and a modern design, you are sure to enjoy working with these machines that retain their value.
Compact design with pivoting headstock
All PÖTTINGER linkage-mounted tedders feature a compact design. The short three-point headstock places the centre of gravity very close to the tractor. You gain from the following advantages:
- Enhanced safety on steep inclines even at the headland
- Safe driving characteristics on the road
- Smaller tractors can be used because less lifting power is needed
- Space saving parking
The headstock is designed as a pivoting headstock on all tedders. Depending on the tedder size, this is fitted with a heart-shaped pivot pin or ball eye. This guarantees the ideal solution for the best steering response and maximum clearance at the headland for every tedder.
Pivoting headstock with heart-shaped pivot pin retainer
Our linkage-mounted tedders with up to eight rotors have a pivoting headstock with a vertical axis of rotation and a heart-shaped pivot pin.
In the working position, this prevents the tedder from swinging out when cornering. The vertical axis of rotation prevents under-running when working downhill.
When the tedder is raised, the heart-shaped pivot pin automatically centres itself in the motion link to secure the machine in the centre position. This design guarantees the greatest lifting height at the headland even when used with small tractors, because the tedder does not sag.
Two mechanical stabiliser struts on the headstock ensure that the machine runs smoothly during operation. These ensure gentle centring, which is an advantage when working on slopes. At the headland and during road transport, they support the centring of the heart-shaped pivot pin. The stabiliser struts are optional on four-rotor tedders.
Pivoting headstock with ball eye
Adapted to the large working width of our ten-rotor tedder and to the higher lifting clearance of the tractors used for this machine, the HIT V 11100 has a pivoting headstock with ball eye in combination with a guide linkage and two hydraulic centring cylinders as standard.
During tedding, the machine follows in the tracks of the tractor. The high centring force of the hydraulic cylinders ensures smooth tracking of the ten rotors without swaying. In addition, the pressure of the cylinders prevents the machine from running ahead when driving downhill.
When the machine is lifted at the headland, the tedder first lowers slightly inside the linear guide (slotted hole), so the two hydraulic centring cylinders can retract as far as they will go, and the tedder gently settles into the central position.
