Building on experience gained during 10 years of making mergers/ windrowers, Austrian company Reiter has announced the secondgeneration pick-up on the new R10 model.

Offering a working width of up to 10m, the pick-up on the new fully ISObus-compatible merger is said to produce a better flow of material to the centre of the belt, with belt speed easily adjustable from the tractor cabin.

Tipping the scales at around 6.5 tonnes, power requirement is from 150hp upwards, with transport height, width and length at 3.95m, 2.96m and 6.4m, respectively. The R10 will be complemented by a new generation Respiro 3.0m and 3.5m.

Delivering a turnover of €4.2 million in 2024, the company’s biggest markets are France and Germany, where three of the five pre-production R10 machines were tested earlier this year. To date, Reiter claims to have sold more than 800 mergers to date. Available in more than 30 countries worldwide, Reiter is distributed in NZ by the Morrinsville-headquartered Piako Group.
