Pöttinger Launches TOP V 6520 C Twin Rotor Rake
Austrian manufacturer Pottinger has released details of a new compact, linkage-mounted compact twin rotor rake, without a chassis, that is said to deliver impressive manoeuvrability.
Stihl has released details of its BT140, its first battery-powered auger, which Stihl says lends itself to multiple tasks, including tree planting, installing fence and gate posts, or constructing gateways.
Said to offer increased performance over the existing BT131 petrol auger, the new arrival offers high performance with the lower noise, zero emissions and the reduced maintenance aspect of battery-powered technology.
The company suggests pairing the BT140 with the latest AP300 P Allpro battery, as well as the previous generation AP300 S. Both are said to be capable of boring up to 230 holes on a single charge when equipped with a 90mm auger in moderately compacted soil.
Fully compatible with the existing Stihl range of auger attachments, the machine offers two drilling speeds, while a reverse gear enables the unit to be released if it gets stuck in tough conditions.
Should the auger encounter an obstruction, the QuickStop System automatically detects the resulting torque forces and immediately stops the machine. An automatic reset function allows work to resume simply by re-activating the throttle. Meanwhile, a protective frame with recessed handle helps protect the power unit during transport, with the BTA 140 is IPX4-rated for splash protection.
