HIT V ALPIN Mounted Tedders

HIT V ALPIN linkage-mounted tedders feature a compact design. The short three-point headstock places the centre of gravity very close to the tractor, which enhances safety when working on steep ground.

Regardless of whether you are tedding silage or hay, with the HIT V ALPIN you ensure your crop is conserved while wilting or drying.

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. At the same time, it is important to keep disintegration losses and possible dirt ingress into the forage to a minimum.

The lightweight DYNATECH rotor unit is the heart of every HIT V ALPIN 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

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 small diameter of the rotors guarantee that HIT V ALPIN tedders deliver minimum dirt ingress and a uniform spread pattern.

Alpine terrain sets its own rules. Steep and often bumpy ground plays a particularly challenging role here, both in terms of work safety and work quality.

Sturdy machines are a prerequisite for protecting the operator, the machine, and the sward.

All HIT V ALPIN linkage-mounted tedders feature a compact design. The short three-point headstock places the centre of gravity very close to the tractor, which contributes to the sturdiness of the machine. It also enhances safety during operation, even when the machines are raised at the headland.

HIT V ALPIN tedders are real lightweights. But despite the low weight of these machines, PÖTTINGER places great emphasis on durability.

The pressed profile frame and spring steel tine carriers reduce weight while guaranteeing maximum strength. The rotor dishes are made of high strength components with precise placement for the tine arms. In addition, the tine arms are also bolted to the rotor hubs to ensure an extremely secure mounting.

The drive train on our HIT V ALPIN tedders is equipped with sealed constant velocity joints. These ensure consistent, smooth, backlash free drive to the rotors. There is zero backlash from the innermost to the outermost rotor.

All joints can be rotated in any position. This eliminates the risk of operator errors.

The bevel gearboxes feature large gears and bearings. The closed angular gearboxes are equipped with a greasing system. Oil loss is therefore not possible.

Mechanical fenceline tedding system

Both the HIT V 4240 and V 6260 ALPIN are equipped with a mechanical fenceline tedding system as standard.

The wheels on each rotor are set individually by hand: Lever positions are set at either, centre, left or right.

Compact and safe during transport

The rotors are folded upwards hydraulically.

The raised rotors are tilted close to the tractor. This provides an optimum centre of gravity.

Warning signs and road lights are optional.
