At headlands there is an increased risk of the outer rotors scraping the ground and damaging the sward while the machine is raised. Depending on the requirements and lifting height of the tractor, PÖTTINGER offers perfectly matched systems for each model to ensure sufficient ground clearance. The sward is conserved and your forage stays clean.
LIFTMATIC is a valve on the pivoting headstock heart-shaped pivot pin. While the tedder is being lifted, it automatically interrupts the oil flow between the spool valve and the two hydraulic cylinders that lift the rotors. In doing so, it temporarily disables the float setting required for ground tracking so all the rotors can be held in a straight line. LIFTMATIC is available as an option on our six-rotor tedders.
HYDROLIFT provides enormous ground clearance for the rotors in the headland position even on small tractors. At the headland, the outer pairs of rotors are lifted into a defined position when the spool valve is briefly actuated. No extra spool valve is needed for this function. HYDROLIFT is optional on all six- and eight-rotor tedders. It is fitted as standard to the ten-rotor tedder.
