Forage harvesting at the highest level

ALPIN Mowers / Tedders / Rakes PÖTTINGER sticks to its roots. As a company based in Austria, we have always given alpine farming technology a high profile. We offer machines that are custom built for the special requirements of alpine farms. Our focus is on the clean and conserving harvesting of quality forage by means of optimum ground tracking and minimal disintegration losses.

The best forage quality is the basis for your success High-yield livestock need a high quality basic ration. 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. What they like most is basic ration that is clean and tasty. 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. But mountainous terrain places high...

ALPIN Mowers / Tedders / Rakes Leave nothing behind The harvesting process, especially tedding always applies mechanical stress to the forage. 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. With our ALPINHIT tedders, you can reduce the risk of disintegration losses to a minimum thanks to the small diameter of the rotors in combination with matched rotor speeds. The optional MULTITAST jockey...

PÖTTINGER cutter bars – quality made in Austria What counts is the best cutting quality - whether on the level or on a steep incline, that is why the PÖTTINGER cutter bar was developed. These cutter bars have been proven thousands of times in the field and are the heart of every disc mower made by PÖTTINGER, including the NOVACAT F ALPIN. They are primarily responsible for the clean cut. These cutter bars are developed and built at our headquarters in Grieskirchen, a quality product made in Austria. Many PÖTTINGER employees are farmers themselves, so they know exactly what counts in a...

Welded construction The key to the cutter bar’s compact, sleek design and all its advantages, is its precision-welded construction. This guarantees supreme robustness while maintaining compactness. Another advantage of the welded cutter bar is that the gear oil remains permanently where it should be – in the gearbox. Even after years of use, the cutter bar remains sealed so there are no oil leaks. Clamped blades – for a tidy mowing pattern The clamped mower blades create a tidy mowing pattern. They rotate very close to the surface of the cutter bar and the counter knife. This guarantees...

Slope ready and reliable Reliability matters in the mountains Slope ready and reliable - PÖTTINGER developed its ALPIN mowers to meet these requirements back in 2003 and has continued their development ever since. Especially in alpine regions, harvest windows are particularly short and valuable. During harvesting there must be no breakdowns or downtime, because the next rainfall is on the horizon. At the same time, every kilo of weight that can be saved is also important in hilly terrain. Just like the compactness of the machine. For best driving stability on steep inclines, the centre of...

The driveline for every application The input gearbox is available as 540 and 1000 rpm versions. By turning the gearbox over, left or right rotation is possible. Overload protection is integrated into the input PTO shaft. The freewheel is located in the side gearbox. Heavy-duty bearings The spur gear driveline runs in a straight path inside the cutter bar with virtually the same sized gears. On the gears there are always three teeth in contact with each other, this ensures optimum power transmission. Moreover, there is less stress on the individual gears in the event of stone impact. The...

Cost effective Compact and versatile design NOVACAT F ALPIN mowers are the lightest in their class. Depending on the tractor being used, you can choose between Cat. 1 and Cat. 2 mountings. In addition, the positions for the top link and lower linkage can be flexibly adapted to the tractor hitch geometry. The lower linkage pins are individually adjustable in height and horizontal distance from the cutter bar. The top link can be mounted in four positions. This guarantees that you can mount the mower as close as possible to any type of tractor. They are available with working widths of 2.20 /...

Hydraulic side shift system Available as an option, the cutter bar can be shifted from side to side +/- 200 mm. This means that the tractor does not run over any forage, even with dual wheels. One double-acting spool valve is needed to operate the side shift system. Ground tracking Weight alleviation Safe road transport NOVACAT F ALPIN front mowers are attached to mid-mounts at the tractor's centre of gravity. Centremounted leaf springs provide a freedom of movement of +/- 8 degrees. The weight of the mower is carried either by the tractor hitch, or optionally two strong suspension springs...
