A smoother cut

Grassland machinery specialist Pottinger has recently announced the availability of disc mowers fitted with the new TriDrive gear optimisation technology.

The technology is said to offer smoother running and reduced noise levels.

Developed and manufactured in Austria, the cutterbar set-up uses similar sized gears, resulting in three teeth always being in-mesh, which allows better power transmission and softer start-up characteristics.

The gear sets also have a new surface finish which makes them smoother running, reduces noise and extends working life by being supported on twin-raced, tapered bearing assemblies.

In a move that will be welcomed by many, Austrian manufacturer Pottinger appears to be following a trend of bringing its machines down from the technological high-spec offerings seen over the last few years and offering them to customers in a more userfriendly format.
