The OptiCurve angle sensors analyses the inclination of the slope and the turning of the tractor wheels, and controls the mower’s movement via two hydraulic cylinders on the headstock.
Pöttinger says its side shift system guarantees a perfect overlap with the rear mower and ensures the tractor drives on a clear track free of forage when cornering and on steep ground.
If the tractor drifts sideways when cornering or on steep terrain, the rear tyre of the tractor does not run over grass that has not been cut yet as the mower shifts towards the inner radius of the curve.
