Pöttinger Ireland will put on a wide display of tillage and grassland machines, along with the Liquido F front-mounted additive tank, which many showgoers will see for the first time at the FTMTA show.
Pöttinger, the well-known Austrian manufacturer of grassland and tillage equipment, once again will exhibit an extensive range of kit at the biennial FTMTA Farm Machinery Show.
One of the latest product launches that will sit front and centre will be the Liquido F 2000 additive tank.
It is available in two versions – F 2000 (500kg base weight) offering an application rate from 40 to 245l/hr or the F 3000 (1,000kg base weight) which features an additional two nozzles and an increased application rate of up to 470l/hr. Both models offer the flexibility of adding an additional 500kg of ballast.
The standard tank size is 200l with the option of 400l available.
Universal use
The unit has been introduced for universal use with any tractor and forage wagon, trailed harvester or baler, regardless of brand.
Nozzles are mounted between the pickup and rotor, applying additive directly to the grass. The application rate can be set via a digital flow meter on board, while adjustments of +10%/-10% can be made on the fly at the press of a button to suit varying crop conditions.
The unit offers the capability of being able to switch off nozzles once the pickup has been raised, alongside an option of being able to automatically adjust application rate relative to forward speed.
The unit comes with separate fresh water (45l) and hand-wash (15l) tanks, as well as integrated cleaning nozzles, a level indicator and integrated toolbox.
Adjustable side wings allow the overall width to be adjusted from 2.55m to 2.85m, allowing the novel unit to also serve as a front bumper and ballast weight. LED lights and reflective marker boards are fitted as standard.
Other machinery expected to be prominent on the Pöttinger stand include; the Alpha Motion 301 Pro ED front mower, Novacat V 8400 ED rear mower combination, the Jumbo 8470 forage wagon alongside the Lion V 6040 power harrow, Aerosem VT 6000 DD trailed seed drill and Amico F front hopper.
