Pick-up with maximum capacity

A controlled floating pick-up

The PÖTTINGER pick-up is 2.05 m wide (standard MASTER) or 2.30 m wide (standard PRO) and is controlled from both ends by steel cam tracks. The tines are slightly trailing to sweep in a controlled arc and adapt ideally to contours. Clean forage is guaranteed.

The fully active tine length up to the control point ensures the forage is transferred to the rotor perfectly.

Combined with the reduced speed of the rotor, the forage is not dragged but fed actively into the rotor.

Five controlled rows of tines ensure that crop is collected reliably at high capacity, even while driving at high speeds in difficult harvest conditions.

• Jockey wheels can easily be height-adjusted.
• Pick-up float function with 8 settings for flexibility in straw.
• Hold-down roller with a diameter of 200 mm and optimised transfer rods for highest rate of intake.

Two pick-up widths

Five rows of controlled tines.

IMPRESS MASTER

2.05 m, with fixed jockey wheels / optional 2.30 m with trailing jockey wheels.

IMPRESS PRO

2.30 m with trailed jockey wheels.

Best ground tracking – Clean forage

Ground adaptation

The suspension point in the middle of the pick-up and two jointed support arms ensure the pick-up has complete freedom of movement with a unique vertical travel of 120 mm at the tines. To ensure perfect ground tracking and cornering, the 16 x 6.5-8 jockey wheels can be adjusted to ensure they make contact with the ground on precisely the same line as the tines.

Perfect forage flow

Forage flow

A swath roller with crop transfer rods guarantees perfect forage flow in every type of crop, even at high speed.

Two cross conveyor augers on each side ensure optimum feeding. Especially with dry material, these actively convey large volumes for enormous intake capacity.

Living agricultural technology

As experts, we at PÖTTINGER face the challenges you find in the field every day.

Tangential crop flow

The bale starts turning reliably in all operating conditions. Regardless of whether in wet or dry conditions, whether for straw, hay or silage – here is one machine for all operating conditions.

32 knives

16 knives

Patented spiral configuration

The bale chamber is fed uniformly across the whole width. This greatly reduces any weaving needed to produce perfectly shaped bales.

Pull-out EASY MOVE knife bank

Agriculture needs straightforward operations. LIFTUP technology places the chopping system above the rotor. The higher the number of knives, the greater the importance the ease of maintenance becomes.

Maintenance-friendly

With the IMPRESS, maintenance is straightforward and simple. Another innovation is the use of TWIN BLADE reversible knives, which provide double the service life. Now it is no longer necessary to sharpen knives during a days work.

The perfect flow – unique crop flow

IMPRESS crop flow profile

Literally redefining the crop flow into the baler has brought about many positive advantages: Firstly, the new LIFTUP technology enables a natural flow of crop, so that the forage enters the bale chamber tangentially at an ideal angle. The long transfer throat ensures excellent mixing of the crop. This helps the bale retain its shape even when handled multiple time.

• Tangential crop flow into bale chamber for a perfect start to the bale.
• Two starter rollers above and below the throat.
• The rotor has seven rows of tines arranged in a spiral and a diameter of 650 mm.
• The loading rotor is mounted on self-aligning ball bearings at both ends.

Cleaning rotor

Any material that does fall through is fed back into the flow by the cleaning rotor (1). This is a unique design that solves the problem of disintegration of material with a higher number of knives. The result is a high baling performance with very low disintegration losses.

• Any disintegrated material is fed back via the cleaning rotor into the flow of crop (2).

Top-mounted short chop system

Short chop system

Short chopped length

Loader wagon chopping quality now available on round balers 36 mm short chop with 32 knives

The new, pull-out FLEXCUT 32 short chop system features 32 TWINBLADE reversible knives provides a theoretical chopped length of 1.42″ / 36 mm across the entire rotor width.

PÖTTINGER, the world leader in loader wagons, has thus managed to integrate loader wagon chop quality into a round baler for the first time. Short chop not just for silage, but also for hay and straw. That is unique.

IMPRESS MASTER models 16 knives, knife spacing 72 mm

Advantages of the IMPRESS chopping system

• NONSTOP individual knife protection system.
• Variable knife group switching offers more flexibility.
• TWIN BLADE knives – double the service life and replacements are always on-board.

The knives are produced from hardened tool steel and their pressed serrated edge ensures a precise chop.

Flexible chopping system floor

Easy relief of blockages

If a blockage occurs, the cross section of the throat can be increased temporarily by lowering the chopping system floor vertically (1). This allows the blockage to clear easily and effortlessly.

Different chopping configurations

PRO 0 – 16 / 16 / 32 knives

MASTER 0 – 16 / 16 knives

Up to 16 knives can be disengaged on the knife bank (MASTER and PRO) to create different chopping configurations. These are always active when the knife bank is swung back in. The knives on the shafts A and B can be pivoted either in or out.

Variable knife group switching

Number of knives on the knife bank

PRO 0 – 16 knives
MASTER 0 – 16 knives

On the square cross-section of the interlock shaft, the knife groups A and B are engaged and disengaged using a lever.

Shaft A

PRO 0 – 16 knives
MASTER 0 – 8 knives

Shaft B

PRO 16 knives
MASTER 0 – 8 knives

Patented EASY MOVE system

EASY MOVE – knife bank system that pulls out from the side

EASY MOVE – safe and convenient

The IMPRESS models feature an EASY MOVE knife bank system that pulls out from the side. This offers the highest level of safety and convenience; maintenance takes place at workbench height outside the bale chamber, away from the hazardous area of the round baler. The higher the number of knives, the greater the importance the ease of maintenance becomes. The PÖTTINGER IMPRESS provides an ingenious and convenient solution.

It’s so easy with an IMPRESS

• Lower the pick-up and swing out the chopping system hydraulically.
• Remove cylinder, release knife bank and pull out.
• Rotate the knife shaft. The knife bank is secured in its outer position and at the same time the knives are released centrally.

Safe, convenient and time saving

• The knives can be reversed or replaced quickly and easily.
• Rotate the knife shaft back again to lock them in place. The knife bank is now ready to be pushed back in.
• Push in the knife bank, secure, attach cylinder, swing chopping system back in – job done!
