Triple 'butterfly' or dual mower combinations have become increasingly popular, offering increased output and better utilisation of tractors that keep gaining horsepower.
A new Isobus terminal from Pöttinger – the Expert 75 – is easy and convenient to use, notably because of its one-hand operation.
It has a handle strip that allows a firm grip, and the control keys are arranged on the right in two rows -- easy to use one-handed.
Likewise, touchscreen and scroll wheel controls combine with a confirm button to give more comfort when working in the field.
This compact, robust terminal can be placed in most positions in a tractor cab without restricting the field of vision.
Its clearly laid-out 5.6” colour display has a wide field of view and illuminated keys (night operation mode) that allow easy reading in direct sunlight, at night and at any angle. In-built loudspeakers and a USB 2.0 port with protective cap round off the multifunctional terminal.
Its UT and AUX Isobus functions can be used with Isobus machines regardless of the manufacturer.
