Technical highlights

The cutter bar - the new dimension

Best crop flow
Contamination-free pickup and transfer of the crop are important criteria in mower technology for the careful processing of forage. The contoured shape of the conical mower discs increases the effect of the paddles on crop flow, lowering the drag resistance of the mower.

Streamlined mower discs
Forage flows through the mower easily and uniformly. Tractor power requirement is lower as a result; dynamic crop flow means the mower is operating at peak efficiency all the time.

Optimised counter chop area
The slanted leading edge of the cutter bar allows the earth to flow beneath, separating it from the crop. There is a minimal gap between the upper edge of the cutter bar and the counter-rotating knives. This means that even heavy, flattened crop, or dry unfertilised grass can be cut to the highest quality.

Tidy and uniform cut due to optimised overlap of knife paths.
The sward is protected through the design of the smooth underside of the cutter bar, rounded skids at both ends and no sharp edges.

Assembly and transmission

Hardened mower discs
The oval, smooth mower discs are made of hardened fine-grained steel for extra long service. The sleek construction ensures power-saving crop flow.

Rotor shaft
The rotor shaft is bolted to the gear wheels. Each shaft can therefore be replaced economically if necessary.
Seal
The bearing flange and fittings are tightly sealed with a rubber O-ring seal.

Bearings
Heavy-duty, twin race angular contact bearings with a theoretical bearing spacing of 60 mm guarantee the best absorption of impacts – similar to a car axle.

Gear wheels
The bevel gears are arranged in a straight line and the disc gear wheels and idler gears are almost the same size (44 and 35 teeth). The bearing is subjected to less stress with an idler gear on either side. All gear wheels are hardened and ground for smooth running and a long service life. The teeth are 20 mm wide and there are always two teeth in contact.

Highest quality materials
Welded, inside shoe-free cutter bar made of best quality steel. Precision milled on CNC-controlled machining centre.

PERFECT!

Maintenance – unrestricted access
Straightforward maintenance is possible due to modular construction: bevel gears and bearings can be removed as a single unit, idler gears are also easy to remove through the large openings.
It doesn’t come any easier.

Shaft end held in the gear by a lock-nut - cost-effective to replace

Large, machined gear wheels
Gear wheels are 20 mm thick and engage on both sides for smooth running and a long service life.

Detailed information

With the new NOVADISC mower the grassland specialist Pöttinger has developed a new product that will lift the mowing technology market. This lightweight mower is smooth-running and tuned for high performance.

Welded cutter bar as on the proven NOVA range.
Fast knife change.
Smooth-running belt drive.
Cutter bar transmission behind the first mower disc - no inside shoe, no risk of clogging.
Solid welded design for high loading capacity enables overall sleek design.
No problems on smaller patches of ground or on hilly terrain.
No clogging, even when passing over mown crop.
Freewheel as standard.

Breakaway system – convenient and reliable
	This system is fitted as standard and features a mechanical breakaway device that unlatches on impact and engages again when the rig is reversed. Protection and comfort hand-in-hand.
Counter springs – ground care mowing
	The pressure on the ground can be adjusted steplessly by changing the mounting height above the tractor hitch.
The optimised position of the countersprings guarantees best possible weight alleviation of the cutter bar. A uniform pressure is maintained even in extreme operating conditions such as on embankments (up to 45° upwards or 30° downwards).In addition there is an adjustable spring on the boom for unique overall weight alleviation. (except on NOVADISC 400).
Working position – DISC lifting system
	The tractor hitch does not need to be operated for lifting the mower at headlands. As a result no readjustment is required after lowering. Simply move the remote to the set height. The mower is lowered so that the outside contacts the ground slightly before the inside to protect the sward.

The latest side-mounted technology

Headstock with adjustable lower links - can be matched to any track width of tractor.
Paddle drums at both ends provide best swath placement and tidy crop flow, even on a slope.
Especially narrow swath formation if required with swath discs (optional).

Transmission - no inside shoe

NOVADISC 400

Working width: 3,88 m
The cutter bar transmission is located behind the first mower disc. This enables the mower to get in and out of tight corners, and operate on rough ground, without clogging. Powerful drive belts ensure smooth running.
Transport height: under 4.0m
As option: The swath is divided by two paddle drums.
