Modular design
● Bevel gear and bearing can be removed as a
single unit, idler gears can be removed through
large openings. It doesn’t come any easier.
● The bevel gears are arranged in a straight line
and the disc gear wheels and idler gears are
almost the same size. Compared to mowers with
smaller, offset gear wheels, these gears have
more teeth in contact at a time, and are
supported on both sides. Highly resistant
to fracture
● All gear wheels are hardened – smooth
running and long service life.

NOVACAT – "Floating cut”
Unrivalled adaptability ...
The objective:
The NOVACAT centre pivot
suspension supports the
cutter bar evenly. The side
traction is reduced
compared with
conventional side mounting
systems. Drag resistance
and forward traction are
reduced considerably.
This is especially important
when mowing and
conditioning.
8
Centre pivot suspension
Always ensures that the whole cutter bar is supported evenly.
Benefits:
● Better response on uneven ground for fast and tidy mowing
● Evenly spread load from inside to outside
● The outer skid of the cutter bar comes into contact with the ground before the
inside one, for optimum protection of the stubble.
Quality
Countersprings
Pöttinger mowers exert a pressure on the ground of no more than between
70 and 100 kg. That is how the sward remains undamaged.
Skids made from
hardened boron steel.
Shallow skid angle
prevents accumulation
of dirt and ensures
exact cutting quality.
The pressure the cutter bar exerts on the
ground can be adjusted quickly and
easily using a pin-in-hole matrix.
Large additional skid
at each end of cutter
bar for extra long life.
Countersprings
Cutter bar exerts minimal pressure on
ground, countersprings are adjustable.
Benefits:
● "Floating cut"
● Protects stubble
● Light-weight, low drag, especially for
slopes
● Low wear on skids

Pivoting mechanism in the headstock
● If the cutter bar strikes an obstacle a mechanical
release permits it to be pivoted to the rear
through up to 20°. The triggering force
is adjustable.
● On mowers equipped with hydraulic pivoting
mechanisms (optional) these also serve as
overload protection. When colliding with any
obstacles the mower pivots to the rear.

Raising the cutter bar
● The cutter bar is
raised using a singleacting hydraulic

Field transport position
● Lift mower to limit

● The spring is locked
in position, the
mower can thus be
hitched or unhitched
without any difficulty.
Safety
The P.T.O. shaft is free to
rotate in any transport
setting. Sure protection
against driver mistakes.

Pivoted to rear: Ideal for narrow or low clearances. Only protrudes slightly
beyond the side of the tractor.
Pivoted to rear and raised: The mower is close to the tractor – less weight
is taken off the front axle. P.T.O. shaft can still be rotated.

extradry
Faster drying times, improved qua l
Every specialist knows that
you need the best possible
quality forage for dairy
cattle in order to achieve
cost-effective yield. The
higher the energy content of
the forage the greater the
milk output, in turn resulting
in a reduction in the cost of
concentrates. "Extra dry” – a
joint development with the
Institute of Agricultural
The trend is conditioning ...
Extra dry conditioners carefully rub the layer of wax covering the crop.
The forage is then deposited across the full width in an airy blanket. The power
of the sun has immediate and full effect.
Advantages of the "extra dry” technology:
● Shorter drying period in the field, less risk from the weather.
● Increasing energy content by up to 10% saves on concentrates.
● Better silage quality due to rapid reduction in PH-value
● No tedding (or less tedding) required, which saves time and simplifies the
process.
● Careful conditioning process reduces loss due to disintegration of sensitive
leaves – providing more protein for the silage.
● Fewer passes protects the stubble and crop.
● Highly suitable for contractors.
Engineering (IMAG-DLO) in
Lower resistance to drying and larger
surface area for evaporation improves
the release of water vapour. The best
possible conditions for evaporation are
provided.
The utilisation ratio is directly
proportional to the density of the crop,
the dry matter content of the forage and
the effect achieved by conditioning.
Wageningen (Holland)
marks the way to go.
Correct preparation has a positive effect on the ensilability of the forage.
Saving costs from mowing onwards ensures higher yield in the cowshed.
Conditioner with wide
spread system for NOVACAT
disc mowers and EUROCAT
drum-type mowers.
Unconditioned – the
waxy coating that
retards evaporation is
still intact. Water vapour
cannot be released

The rotor transfers the crop to the wide spread mechanism.
Spreading vanes distribute the flow of crop over the whole mowed width.
Each vane can be adjusted individually.
The forage is then deposited in a wide and airy blanket.
The sun’s rays have immediate effect even without tedding so that water
evaporates faster. The drying time is reduced considerably.
The two swath boards and the outer vanes may be turned inwards to form a
swath. The swath width is determined by the position of the vanes.

● The conditioning intensity is easily regulated by adjusting the corrugated
conditioning plate. A full range is provided – from careful conditioning (for
leafy legumes) through to intensive processing. Selection can be made in
steps by means of an adjusting lever. The waxy coating is rubbed off the

Completely reliable
Swath placement with swath formers possible.
● Changing from swath formers to conditioner with wide-spread takes just
minutes.
● Trouble-free moving of really heavy crops due to best design of drum bodies
for smooth crop transfer to conditioner.
●
Mow without leaving the cab
● Convenient, from driver's seat. Pull the lanyard, wait for the mower to lower
into place, and go for it.
● Good access when raised for changing knives, cleaning and adjusting cutting
height.
Field transport position
● For headland turns the mower is just raised to the side using the mower ram
so that the tractor three point linkage is always in the same position and the
tractor hydraulics do not need to be in continual operation, and no lower
limit stop is required.
● The P.T.O. shaft is free to rotate in any position, sure protection against driver
mistakes.
Centre pivot suspension
for mower unit and two
powerful countersprings.

The ultimate:
”Floating cut”
The CAT centre pivot
suspension supports the
cutter bar evenly. This
reduces drag resistance
and side traction. These
low drag characteristics
are especially important
when mowing and

EUROCAT front mowers can also be equipped with conditioners or swath formers.
Quick-release couplings for swapping implements around.
The swath formers can be adjusted from a central point.
Easy adjusting of the
swath formers
by a lever – very
userfriendly.

Supported on both sides
by ball joints. Freedom of
movement for perfect
ground hugging.
All 4 mower drums are the same size, however, the inner drum bodies are of
smaller diameter than the outer drums.
Ideal arrangement of the tandem swath formers on both sides.
Four swath discs with rubber rims (two rear rims running on the ground)
guarantee reliable swath formation for collection by self-loading wagon.
The swath formers are easy to adjust.
Spring-loaded top linkage as option, ideal for extremely bumpy ground and
for electronic controlled front hydraulics.

The secret from Pötting
The mowers can be
"Floating cut" ...
operated with swath
formers, conditioner or
without either, as required.
Fitting a conditioner or
swath formers is just as
easy as with rear-mounted
mowers.
Perfect ground tracking:
� A newly developed centre section
allows the mower unit to pivot on the
headstock.
� A ball joint provides the necessary
freedom of movement for the cutter
bar.
� Two adjustable stabiliser springs
incorporated in the centre section
align the mower during transport and
cushion movements during mowing.
�
�
Conditioner
● The conditioner can be removed rapidly and
replaced with swath formers
● Like on rear-mounted mowers: fit the chassis,
release the quick-release couplings, remove the
drive belts and move the conditioner clear – it's
as easy as that.
