Cut with care
OPINION: The new government has clearly signalled big cuts across the public service.
Although conditions in the agricultural machinery sector continue to be difficult, the family-owned Austrian firm of Pöttinger was still able to increase sales by 2% to Eur 308 million in the 2016-17 financial year.
Austrian machinery maker Pottinger has unveiled what it claims is a new concept in ‘smart’ soil cultivation for its drills in the shape of the Terrasem Wave Disc.
Shane and Marie Donovan of Taihape needed to replace their combination mowers, with a pre-requisite that the replacements could deal with ground steep and rough.
The latest development from Pöttinger, the Novacat A10 mower combination, can be used as a front/rear combination, has a headstock for 3.0 or 3.5m front mowers, and a side-shift range of 400mm on either side ensuring an ideal overlap.
The Pottinger TERRADISC cultivators have been proving useful for seedbed preparation by utilising 580mm diameter concave discs with adjustable cutting angles, to encourage good penetration and intensive mixing of plant residues with the soil.
Austrian grassland specialist Pottinger has launched a centre-delivery rotary rake of high capacity.
Grassland machinery specialist Pottinger has recently announced the availability of disc mowers fitted with the new TriDrive gear optimisation technology.
Grassland and cultivation specialist Pottinger claims a first for its new range of round balers, achieving chop quality usually associated with loader wagons.
Pottinger has introduced upgrades from the large trailed HIT tedder series to smaller 8-rotor models with working widths of up to 8.86m.
