Pöttinger launched its Cross Flow system in mowing technology some years ago. This enables merging swaths without using conditioners, thus making it cost-effective. Now, the new Novacat V 9200 CF mower is available with Cross Flow.
Feedback from the field was the basis for this development, following demand for a cost-effective and straightforward system for merging swaths. Cross Flow works without a conditioner and is characterised by its low weight compared to conventional swath merging systems. This technology ensures optimum conservation of the forage and soil, as well as the running costs, thanks to the fuel savings.
A cross flow auger is integrated into the mower to deposit the forage either merged into a swath, or spread over the working width of the rear mower, or as a wide swath to one side. This mower combination features low weight and a low power requirement.
Without a conditioner, the forage is handled extremely gently. Thanks to the closed trough shape, the forage is transported directly from the sward to the swath. This prevents forage losses, minimises dirt ingress and avoids disintegration losses.
The NOVACAT V 9200 CF with Cross Flow auger can be used both on grassland as well as with whole plant silage.
