Pöttinger has just introduced a new Liquido F front-mounted silage additive tank.

The Austrian firm says the new product is suitable for a wide variety of wagons and balers, of different brands.

The additive tank is initially being offered in two versions: the F 2000 and the F 3000.

Pöttinger notes that the application rate of the F 2000 is from 40 to 245l/h, while the premium F 3000 can be expanded to achieve up to 470l/h by adding two more nozzles.

Flowmeters

A digital flowmeter measures the application flowrate in litres per hour. The flowrate can be easily adjusted using the ±10% button.

On the F 3000, the flowmeter regulates the application rate automatically according to the defined target rate and the current operating conditions. It switches on the two additional nozzles automatically when required.

The way the application rate is controlled is selected before the job starts. It can be switched on and off manually at the touch of a button, or automatically according to the position of the pick-up.

The Liquido F front-mounted silage additive tank is suitable for a wide variety of wagons and balers, of different brands.

It switches off when the pick-up is lifted so that no silage additive goes to waste. An additional option on the premium F 3000 model controls the application rate according to the driving speed, ie, the higher the speed, the more silage additive is applied.

The Liquido F features three tanks, which includes the main tank, a fresh water tank, and a hand washing tank. The main tank has a standard size of 200l, but is also available in a 400l version. Other features include a tank level indicator and a toolbox. Work area lights and storage rollers are available as options.

The width of Liquido F can be adjusted between 2.55 and 2.85m, and it can also be used as a front bumper and as front ballast.
