Technical highlights

Pick-up
   PONY, BOSS, PROFI GP
  • The pickup guide plate is shaped to collect all the crop.
  • Ideal pivotting action and countersprings make the pickup extremely adaptable to uneven ground.
  • Hydraulic pickup lift system has two cylinders; one at each end.
  • The pneumatic pickup wheels can be adjusted 8-fold and are located precisely at the tine contact point. A freewheel mechanism protects the tines during reversing.
  • Countersprings at each end guarantee the best possible ground hugging.

BOSS and PROFI GP self-loading wagons. 5 rows of tines and a 1.65 m wide pickup.
PONY and BOSS-junior have 4 rows of tines and a pickup 1.55 m wide.
LADEPROFI, ERNTEPROFI
  • Five rows of tines on LADE/ERNTEPROFIs and 1.65 m wide pickup.
  • The speed of the tine movements is synchronised with the speed of the loading system.
  • The closely spaced tine sequence ensures that the crop is lifted cleanly even at high loading speeds.
  • The tines are bolted onto gauge tubes. Heavy-duty "Super C"-quality tines have a longer service life. The tubes are supported in the middle by a support disc, right where the stress is highest.
  • The height-adjustable rubber wheels contact the ground on exactly the same line as the tines and guide the pickup perfectly through each hollow.
  • The pickup transmission with integrated clutch disengages automatically when the pickup is raised.
  • A height-adjustable pickup guide plate ensures that even really short forage is not left behind.
  • The fine-tuned countersprings absorb shocks and prevent the pickup from sinking in on damp ground.
  PICK-UP!


The hardened steel cam track has a solid centre. Not a casting - this material does not wear even after years of service.

Between the pickup and the loading system the crop passes over heattreated transfer plates. Foreign objects and earth are able to fall through away from the crop here. This system is only available from Pöttinger. The knives are fully protected.


SUPERMATIC-loading system
  
Smooth loading system

  • Because the loading comb bars are split in the middle the stress is distributed over more cam rollers and a larger cam control surface.
  • The wide conveyor duct protects the crop and guarantees highest loading performance.
  • Each knife cuts the crop exactly between the dual tines.
  • The cam tracks at each end are circular and ensure smooth, jolt-free running and a long service life.
  • The pickup and loading system are equipped with automatic transmission for reversing.

BOSS Junior
Three split loading comb bars, cam track at each end, six-phase conveying and cutting sequence.
BOSS L
Three split loading comb bars, cam track at each end, twelve-phase conveying and cutting sequence. Every other pair of tines is shortened so there are two levels of chopping to save power.
EUROBOSS
Four split loading comb bars, cam track at each end, sixteen-phase conveying and cutting sequence. Loading system is equipped with a central lubrication system.
CUTTING SYSTEM

The original with   s e r r a t e d   b l a d e s

Often copied - never equalled
  • Perfect serrated blades ensure that even after the knife edge is blunt a good chop is still achieved.
  • The curved knife shape delivers a continuous, power-saving cut.
  • The blanket of forage is always cut with precision to protect the crop.
  • SUPERMATIC knife security system: If an object triggers the security system, there is only minimal resistance as the knife moves back (up to 13 cm clearance), and then clicks into place again.
BOSS Junior
Up to 12 quick-change knives.
Remove catch, swing back or remove quick-change knife unit.
BOSS L T
up to 16 knives
  SUPERMATIC!


Central lubrication manifold
for easy maintenance. Standard equipment on PROFI GP and ERNTEBOSS with 31 knives.

Cam track at either end for only half the stress on the control elements. The combs are positioned precisely in each phase.

On all self-loading wagons: all loading combs are fitted with hardened bearing bushes.


The knife banks can be individually pivoted and can simply be lowered to the ground.
Quick-release knives: release catch, remove knife.


31-knife chopping system
available as option with hydraulic pivoting for all ERNTEBOSS and PROFI Grand Prix models.


Comfortable control
   Hydraulic coupling
For hydraulic pickup lift system, or hydraulic scraper floor. The hydraulic coupling can be combined with a hand pump so no hydraulic connection is necessary. Convenient and straightforward operation.(for PONY, BOSS junior 1 and 2)
Cab control unit with preselected programs
Hydraulic cab control unit for
  • Pick-up
  • scraper floor
  • tailgate Comfort version:
  • Hydraulic drawbar
  • Extension
  • SELECT CONTROL One-finger operation
    All hydraulic functions controlled electronically - no more hydraulic hoses in the cab.
  • Only one single-acting hydraulic connection with return line required.
  • Pick-up, drawbar, scraper floor, tailgate, extension, chopping system are all operated hydraulically.
  • Optional for BOSS junior 2 (with hydraulic scraper floor), BOSS Junior 3, BOSS and PROFI GP, standard for ERNTEBOSS 2 H.
  •  
    Every ERNTEPROFI features electronic controls
    The front end control box for the loading functions is always in the cab. Control unit for:
  • pickup
  • drawbar
  • roof extension
  • scraper floor
  • tailgate The two control panels can be joined to form a neat unit.
  •  
      METERING!


    ERNTEBOSS
    The metering system at the rear end of the wagon is convenient to operate. The speed of the scraper floor can be regulated to exactly match the throughput of a forage blower.


    ERNTEPROFI
    The control box for operating the unloading functions can be mounted either next to the front control box, or at the tailgate.


    Choice of axles and tyres
       PONY, BOSS, PROFI-GP
    Choice of axles
    Braked axles, high-loaders fitted with reversible rims (changes track width from 1550 mm to 1750 mm). Bolted axle unit enables tandem axle with suspension to be retrofitted.

    Tandem axle with compensating suspension
    A compound suspension system (optional) optimises the load distribution to each axle.

    Tyres:
  • 15-17, reversible for track width of 1550 and 1750 mm
  • 19.0/45-17, track width 1600 mm

    LADE-/ERNTEPROFI
    With 15-17 tyres the track width can easily be changed from 1550 to 1750 mm by turning the wheels around. On trailers with tandem axles offsetting the track widths of 1550 and 1750 mm will help to distribute the load more evenly. Single axle up to 6.9 t permissible total weight, 25 km/h.

    Dual air brakes for single axle up to 5.6 t permissible total weight, 40 km/h 19.0/45-17/10 PR. Tandem axle up to 8 t permissible total weight, 25 km/h,

    Dual air brakes with ALB for tandem axle up to 9 t permissible weight, 40 km/h 15.0/55-17/10 PR
    Air brakes or hydraulic brakes (varies from country to country)
    • Pneumatic brake system with ALB controller (automatic load-controlled brake system) can be upgraded to ABS as option
    • High degree of safety with higher loads even with the hydraulic braking system.
    • Each wheel is fitted with a brake cylinder as standard
    • Steered axles as option
    • Steered axles to protect the sward and reduce side forces while cornering. The steered axles are locked by a separate hydraulic connection for reversing and higher speeds. Protects the tyres against wear.
  •   NEAT!


    Spring suspension tandem axles
    The compound suspension optimises the load distribution to each axle. While driving over bumpy ground the forces are distributed to both axles, not adsorbed by the limit stops. Best control on slopes, same load on each axle, even during braking. Huge leaf springs provide the necessary shock absorption.



    Detailed information

    Drawbar
    • High level universal drawbar - infinitely adjustable using spindle
    Pick-up – Perfect ground hugging
    • Perfect sward protection thanks to excellent ground hugging with twistaction Pick-up and powerful countersprings
    • Optimum filtering of foreign objects – transfer plates between the Pick-up and loading system allow dirt and stones to fall through
    • Tidy raking work – The Pick-up tines have a controlled sweep to protect the sward
    • Tidy pickup, even with short material, thanks to high-adjustable levelling plate
    • Pick-up switches off automatically when raised
    • Hydraulic lift system has two cylinders; one at each end
    SUPERMATIC – Handles forage carefully
    • Highest loading performance thanks to large cross-section of feed duct and rapid sequence of loading combs

    • Easy knife replacement, even on low-loaders, from loading chamber
    Construction and bodywork – Lightweight with huge advantages
