The advantage of our centre-swath rakes is their uniform and airy swath placement. They are especially manoeuvrable and easy to operate Our centre-swath rakes guarantee a perfectly matched swath for the next machine in the harvest chain.

MULTITAST jockey wheel

Always one wheel ahead with the PÖTTINGER MULTITAST jockey wheel system

PÖTTINGER has been offering the MULTITAST wheel system on rakes for the past three decades. The most important objective is to produce clean forage for healthy, high-yield animals. At the same time you conserve the sward. Offset in front of the rotor, the wheel guarantees perfect ground tracking without the tines contacting the ground. In addition there is less force acting on the arm control rollers and tines, which extends the service life of your machine.

DLG confirms forage protection

On a rise, the MULTITAST wheel lifts the rotor. The ideal gap between the tines and the ground is maintained. This guarantees you keep the forage clean.

Comparison

• Over a test track of 60 m, the tines on the rotor without the MULTITAST wheel contact the ground at least 5 times more (see image).

On top of a rise, the MULTITAST wheel guides the rotor downwards and prevents raking losses.

• Over the same test track, the tines on the rotor without the MULTITAST wheel rise above the crop three times, resulting in raking losses (see image).

Optimum ground tracking

With PÖTTINGER rakes we guarantee clean forage even in the most difficult conditions. Our machines rake precisely even with low crop volumes or with heavy, wet forage. The ground tracking of the machine plays an important role here. The TOP tandem axles have a very wide wheelbase. In addition, the wheels are positioned especially close to the tines. Our rakes therefore adapt perfectly to any unevenness and are also particularly suitable for inclines.

Not as smooth without the MULTITAST wheel

Without a MULTITAST wheel the rake has a much smaller area of support. This leads to less smooth operation with reduced ground tracking, which can lead to dirt ingress.

Proven forage quality with MULTITAST wheel

The MULTITAST wheel greatly increases the size of the machine's support triangle. This makes the rotors run more smoothly and suppresses vibrations. The PÖTTINGER MULTITAST wheel delivers the best ground tracking that guarantees clean forage without disintegration losses.
