1. Novacat S12 mower combination
It was almost impossible to miss the massive Pottinger Novacat S12 mower combination on the Valtrac stand. Claimed to be the world’s largest tractor- mounted combination mower, the S12 has a full working width of 11,2m. Despite this, it requires only 120kW for a work rate of up to 12ha/h due to a weight-to-width ratio of only 175kg/m. A pressure gauge is fitted to the mower frame and the ground pressure can be adjusted from the driver’s seat for optimum forage quality and ground protection.
The cutter bar has a quick-change knife system, slanted cone surfaces and optimised counter-chop zone, while the knife paths overlap for a better cut and smooth crop flow.
