04 NOVACAT 352 V rear mower: compact,
lightweight and best cutting quality
Pöttinger has added to its NOVACAT rear mower range the NOVACAT 352 V
with a working width of 3.46 m without conditioner. Thanks to the new,
vertical transport position, the NOVACAT 352 V is ideal for tight cornering
and narrow field entrances.
A central feature on this new model is the unique hydraulic lower linkage arm
that enables easy mounting without having to adjust the tractor linkage drop
arms, which offer the very highest level of convenience. Using the hydraulic
"HITCH & MOW" lower linkage arm the headstock can always be brought
into the correct horizontal position - independently of the geometry of the
tractor linkage. In addition, this system optimises weight alleviation as well as
providing excellent ground clearance (50 cm on the inside) for headland turns
and transport on the road. Furthermore ground tracking is also optimised as a
consequence.
During transport the mower is folded to the side and raised through 115
degrees. With the highest point of the mower in the tractor centreline, the
centre of gravity is perfectly centred. This ensures compact transport
dimensions and safe transport of the mower. The headstock can be lowered
to ensure a transport height of 4 m is maintained. The storage position when
removed from the tractor is to the side in the working position; however
parking stands are also available so that the mower can be left in the transport
position when stored to save space.
The heart of the mower is the NOVACAT cutter bar proven thousands of times
in the field with a quick-change blade system as standard. Tapered disc
surfaces, optimised counter-chop zone and a generous overlap of the blade
paths ensure perfect crop flow, first-class cutting quality and simultaneous
optimum protection of the sward.
If the mower impacts an obstruction during operation, the integrated
mechanical collision protection system allows it to move by 15 degrees to the
rear. A hydraulic collision safety device is also available as an option. Thanks
to the resulting extra clearance of around 1 metre, the mower is ideally
protected against severe damage. Reversing the tractor automatically moves
the mower back into the working position.
At Pöttinger, ease of maintenance is taken seriously: the PTO shafts have an
extended service interval (150 h) and the safety guards fold well clear to
provide optimum access to the cutter bar for quick and easy blade changes.
As an option, a hydraulic version of the folding side guard is also available.
