2024 Pottinger NOVACAT 352

Minimum ground pressure and perfect ground tracking – guaranteed by our NOVACAT rear mowers with centre pivot mounting.

The NOVACAT rear mowers are available with working widths of 2.62 m / 3.04 m / 3.46 m / 3.88 m / 4.30 m.

These mowers can be equipped with swathing discs or a conditioner to meet your individual requirements. The NOVACAT 402 ED with a working width of 3.88 metres is the largest rear-mounted mower with conditioner on the market.

Depending on the working width, the NOVACAT rear mowers are available with a vertical or horizontal transport position.

Features may include:

• Cutter bar

The PÖTTINGER cutter bar features an impressively sleek and dynamic design. The 4 cm high cutter bar guarantees optimum crop flow. Due to its 28 cm width, the cutter bar delivers the best ground tracking which is ideal for achieving a first class cut.

• TRI DRIVE

The driveline in the PÖTTINGER cutter bar is famed for its toughness and durability.

• Centre pivot mounting with hydraulic weight alleviation

The wide +/- 22.5° arc of movement enables easy mowing on rough ground and embankments.

• Mounting

Thanks to the adjustable mounting pins, these mowers can be hitched up to a wide range of tractor types quickly and easily. As a result you make full use of the whole mowing width. The practical PTO shaft holder makes hitching up easier.

• Collision safety device

To protect your machine, the cutter bar can fold right back if it collides with obstacles. The triggering pressure of the collision safety device is adjustable. Mechanical collision protection is integrated into the headstock as standard on the NOVACAT 262 / 302 / 352 V. A hydraulic collision safety device is also available as an option. On the NOVACAT 302 CF / 352 / 402 / 442 the hydraulic collision safety device is standard.

• Transport

A practical transport position is achieved by raising the mower through 115°. This keeps the transport height as low as possible. The view to the rear is unrestricted via both exterior mirrors. The optimum distribution of the centre of gravity ensures a pleasant drive.

• Counterweight

A counterweight is available as an option for all mowers with horizontal folding. The ballast is flexible up to 530 kg. This increases the load on the left rear wheel. In addition, it reduces the torsion on the hitch cylinder. Enhanced safety during driving is guaranteed.

• CROSS FLOW auger

CROSS FLOW is a cost effective system for merging swaths. A cross flow auger is integrated in the mower unit to deposit the forage in the way you want it to be: Either merged as a swath or spread over the working width of the rear mower.

• ED tine conditioner

The EXTRA DRY conditioner is a joint development with the Institute of Agricultural Engineering (IMAG-DLO) in Wageningen (Holland) that started in 1997 to prove there is better way.
