Pottinger LIQUIDO F 3000 – with Impress Baler Combo.
Pottinger has released details of its newly developed LIQUIDO F front-mounted, multi-purpose silage additive tank.
Designed to be used with a wide variety of different brands and models of loader wagons and balers, a nozzle header assembly is positioned between the pick-up and the feed/ chopping rotor, where it applies silage additive solutions directly and homogeneously to the flow of forage as it enters the machine.
A digital flowmeter measures the application rate in litres per hour, with easy adjustment using the +10% / -10% button, allowing application rates to be matched to forage flows and a farm’s individual requirements.
Available in LIQUIDO F 2000 or LIQUIDO F 3000 versions, the former offers application rates of 40 l/h to 245 l/h, while the premium F 3000 can be expanded, by adding two more nozzles to achieve application rates of up to 470 l/h. The F 3000 regulates the application rate automatically according to the defined target rate and current operating conditions, switching on the two additional nozzles automatically as required.
Additive flow can be switched on or off manually at the touch of a button, or automatically according to the pick-up position. Flow is switched off when the pick-up is lifted, minimising additive waste. An additional option F 3000 model adjusts the application rates according to the driving speed, with flow increasing or reducing as speed increases or slows.
The system features the main freshwater tank, available in 200 or 400 litre versions, with a hand washing tank to enable several work steps at once, from mixing to filling and hand rinsing. Cleaning the tank, supply lines and the nozzles is also extremely easy with the F 3000 using an integrated cleaning nozzle.
Practical features include a level indicator, jaw hitch and toolbox, with work area lights and storage support rollers available an option.
When used as a front bumper, or as ballast, the LIQUIDO F enhances safety on the road with its clearly visible lighting, while its overall width can be adjusted between 2.55 and 2.85 metres.
