Feedback from the field has shown an increasing demand for tedders for large areas. At the same time, farmers want the quality of the basic ration to be further improved. With these trailed HIT T tedders, we at PÖTTINGER combine high output with intelligent technology. Strength, reliability and high functionality, teamed with perfect ground tracking and spreading quality are what make the HIT T models stand out.

The best forage quality is the basis for your success

High yield dairy cattle need high quality base forage with the optimum structure. This is readily consumed by the animals in sufficient quantities. That is the best way to prepare the rumen to process the forage as productively as possible. Improving base forage quality reduces dependence on concentrates and promotes animal health - both of which lower your costs. Healthy cattle express their gratitude with better fertility, by producing milk for longer, and - even more decisively - with higher milk yields. The bottom line is that you benefit from clean, high quality forage with more profits from your dairy business.

Clean forage

Clean forage packed with energy is the prerequisite for healthy, high yield livestock. Choose PÖTTINGER and optimise your forage quality. Our HIT tedders are designed to treat your forage carefully. Our tedders work extremely tidily. The best ground tracking and great handling on steep terrain enable you to conserve the forage while you work without dirt ingress.

Unique ground tracking

Ground tracking and forage protection are the key objectives of PÖTTINGER rotary tedders. Our mounted and trailed tedders feature jockey wheels located close to the tine arc to react to any bumps. The tines do not touch the ground. The result: Clean forage, lower raw ash content and improved livestock health. In addition, wear to the tines is reduced considerably.

The best prerequisites for your success

As a farmer, you ensure a balanced composition of your basic ration all year round. You choose the optimum time for each cut so that you harvest your crop at the right stage of development. The aim is to get the lowest possible raw ash content and a high level of crude protein and energy. These nutrients need to be retained during tedding as well. We help you to achieve this with our HIT tedders that feature innovative technology and years of experience.

Conserving the sward

An intact sward is the prerequisite for a full cover, weed-free plant stock in your meadow. PÖTTINGER pays particular attention to this. Especially at headlands there is an increased risk of the outer rotors scraping the ground while the machine is raised. The following four model-specific technical solutions ensure high ground clearance of the tines:

Pivoting headstock with heart-shaped pivot pin

• LIFTMATIC
• LIFTMATIC PLUS
• HYDROLIFT

The outer tines do not scratch the ground. The sward is conserved and your forage stays clean. This provides optimum conditions for the best possible processing of plants that are rich in energy.

"I use the HIT 10.11 T trailed tedder with a working width of 11 metres. What I really like about this machine is the DYNATECH rotors - because they handle the crop carefully - and the height-adjustable tines. My son Pavel does a great job of running the farm and particularly enjoys working with the HIT; he covered 400 ha with this tedder last season."
