With the NOVACAT A mower combinations, we at Pöttinger combine high output with intelligent technology. Best possible ground tracking, optimum use of the mowing width and maximum reliability are the standout features of these mowers.

NONSTOP LIFT hydraulic collision safety device protects the mower

NONSTOP LIFT is an innovative technology that offers the best protection to the cutter bar. The mower efficiently avoids obstacles by folding backwards and at the same time raising the boom. This prevents damage to the mower unit even at higher speeds.

Robust technology – long service life

The heavy duty boom design offers a wide bearing spacing, which carries the cutter bar and provides the optimum in support. The cutter bar is mounted from both ends which protects it against twisting. The gears and bearings are subjected to less stress as a result. This ensures smoother running and a long service life.

TRI DRIVE concept

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

3 teeth are always in contact

The bevel gear driveline runs in a straight path with virtually the same sized gears. On the gears there are always three teeth in contact with each other – this ensures optimum power transmission. Moreover, there is less stress on the individual gears in the event of stone impact.

The specially ground surface of the gears submerged in gear oil ensures smooth running. This reduces the noise level considerably.

• Gear set 39/50
• Gear height 17.5 mm

Practical modular design

Bevel gears and bearings can be removed as a single unit The idler gears are also easily removed through the openings - it couldn't be easier!

The bearing flange and fittings are reliably protected by rubber o-ring seals. This prevents dirt or dust from entering the gearbox.

It also avoids oil leakage.

Heavy-duty bearings

The stub shafts of the individual mower drums have heavy-duty bearings. Durable, twin race taper bearings with a bearing spacing of 60 mm are extremely stress-resistant. Shock loads are absorbed effortlessly.

Bolted stub shafts

The high-strength stub shafts are bolted to the gears. Each of the parts can easily be replaced if required.

• Shaft stub
• Tapered bearing
• Bearing flange
• Spur pinion

Smooth-running driveline

A standout feature of our mowers is their supremely smooth running. The NOVACAT series features a friction-locked drive train directly to the first mower disc. Cardan shafts provide a stress-free link between the angular gearbox and the cutter bar.

On all mowers, a freewheel is integrated into the driveline.

Extended service life thanks to Y DRIVE

The patented Y DRIVE input gearbox features an output shaft on the opposite side. This has the advantage that longer standard PTO shafts can be used with less of an angle in operation. The result: Smooth running coupled with improved performance and a longer service life.
