Govt Commits $4m to Rural Wellbeing Initiatives
While the District Field Days brought with it a welcome dose of sunshine, it also attracted a significant cohort of sitting members from the Beehive – as one might expect in an election year.
Automatic swath placement ensures that the mower combinations, equipped with a cross-conveyor belt, always deposit the forage correctly.
Merging swaths to one side of the machine - described as intelligent mowing - is more efficient and accomplished much easier than previously.
Said to result in around 40% less raking work, lower fuel consumption, better utilisation of harvesters because of greater forage volumes in each swath, all leading to more cost-effective harvesting.
Additionally, skipping lanes enables larger turning circles at the headland, which helps reduce damage to the sward.
Previously, swath merging systems could be a challenge for the drivers because they required constand switching of the cross-conveyor belt manually.
The new automatic swath placement system automatically switches the cross-conveyor unit depending on which lane is being mowed, resulting in forage always being placed correctly, reducing the risk of operator errors.

In addition, drivers can focus fully on the machine and the surroundings, resulting in reduced fatigue.
If the machine is equipped with Pöttinger Connect, the mowing pattern is intuitively displayed on the map in the HARVEST ASSIST app. This means that the drivers always have a complete overview to efficiently plan their working day.
