Smoother running and reduced noise levels.
Grassland machinery specialist Pottinger has recently announced the availability of disc mowers fitted with the new TriDrive gear optimisation technology.
The technology is said to offer smoother running and reduced noise levels.
Developed and manufactured in Austria, the cutterbar set-up uses similar sized gears, resulting in three teeth always being in-mesh, which allows better power transmission and softer start-up characteristics.
The gear sets also have a new surface finish which makes them smoother running, reduces noise and extends working life by being supported on twin-raced, tapered bearing assemblies.
Austrian manufacturer Pöttinger gave a sneak peek of a new automatic swath placement system for the Novacat V 10000 ED/RC Collector mowers at Agritechnica 2025, and recently confirmed that the upgrade will be available for the upcoming European mowing season.
Austrian manufacturer Pöttinger previously focused on grassland equipment then entered the arable sector with its acquisition of “Bayerische Pflugfabrik Landsberg”- the Bavarian plough factory - in 1975.
Pottinger has released details of its newly developed LIQUIDO F front-mounted, multi-purpose silage additive tank.
Formed in 1871, Austrian agricultural machinery manufacturer Pottinger originally focused on producing grassland machinery for a little over a century.
