Samasz Z4-1550 Four-Rotor Rake & KDX Mowers Debut at Agritechnica
In an already crowded market, Polish machinery manufacturer Samasz is set to unveil a prototype of its Z4-1550 four-rotor rake at Agritechnica.
The new XDF Series Front Mowers are refined for local conditions and boosts cutting precision and wear resistance.
Samasz distributor FarmShop has introduced the new XDF Series Front Mowers, said to be refined for local conditions and to improve cutting precision and wear resistance.
Featuring a pulltype hitch that allows the mower to contour easily in undulating terrain, rather than a push configuration, that tends to ‘bulldoze’ if incorrectly set, the layout also incorporates up to 22° of lateral tilt, complemented by up to 860mm of vertical travel to cope with the toughest terrain. Hydropneumatic suspension allows for superior contour following, with in-cab pressure control combined with an easy-to-read gauge.
The XDF is available with flail-type or roller conditioners, the former fitted with the Samasz’s heavy-duty ‘bear claw’ flails, said to be tailored to be more aggressive for NZ’s harsh conditions, especially the South Island’s irrigated grass and heavy crops.
The conditioner units are gear-driven, with the ability to run at 700 or 1000 rpm, with simple lever adjustment to change speeds, alongside 8-position conditioning intensity adjustment, allowing fine-tuning in changing conditions.
Available in working widths of 3.0 or 3.5 metres, the cutterbars feature quickchange blades and drive modules, both easily changed in the paddock, to deliver a substantial reduction in downtime for routine maintenance or breakdowns.
Standard features include an A-frame hitch, with a new innovative locking system, central greasing for ease of maintenance. Hydraulically operated side guards, offer operator-friendly work start up and moves, while integrated LED lights, marker boards and indicators, ensure safe moves between job sites.
During storage, a patented, support foot mechanism, swings in/ out automatically when required.
