Top forage quality.
Supporting feed quality.
Forage quality is crucial for healthy livestock – and the tedder plays a big part in achieving this objective. Your tedder is the quality driver for your green forage harvesting process, not only maintaining, but also further enhancing forage quality. The VOLTO is specifically designed for this purpose: quality harvesting and delivery.
Layer by layer drying, for top-quality results.
To produce high-quality forage, the harvested crop must be dried out evenly. The tines on VOLTO machines are therefore equipped with fingers of equal length. These pick up the crop in layers, and ensure that it is mixed thoroughly. The result is a homogeneous spreading pattern, and rapid drying of the harvested crop.
Longer life, thanks to evenly spread load forces.
A further advantage of the layered pick-up is that the front and rear tines are loaded evenly, which greatly extends their service life. And when a tine does have to be replaced, you will always have a suitable spare, since the equal finger length means the tines can be used in either rotor direction of rotation.
Adjustable spread angle for greater flexibility.
To adapt the machine to the harvesting conditions, the spreading angle can be set over a range from 12° to 18° depending on the model. The tines can also be adjusted forwards or backwards by 7°, allowing you to fine-tune your desired spreading pattern.
Tine loss guard for better protection.
To cushion loads, the tines have five windings. The material thickness of 9.5 mm still provides enough rigidity for a clean raking result. To protect animals and following harvesting machinery, each spreader arm is equipped with a tine loss guard. These guards prevent tines from coming away in the event of a breakage, and their trapezoid shape prevents the forage from becoming wrapped around the spreader arm.
Headland spreading device for optimum efficiency.
The headland spreading system enables you to achieve consistent drying of the crop even at the field edges. By pivoting the edge-tedding crop guard into the working area, you can restrict the trajectory of the forage, ensuring the crop remains where it belongs. This also means you are always operating with the full working width, and can prevent the wheels from tilting, which can damage the machine. The edge-tedding crop guard is also useful when working with hay. By using it as a marking aid, you always know which areas have already been processed, eliminating the potential for re-runs.
Mobility where it matters: the headland position.
In the headland position, the machine is raised to pass over the areas that have already been spread. The function is also ideal for moving over small ditches or for reversing the machine.
Maximum efficiency: the night swathing gearbox.
When working with hay, forming overnight or temporary swaths is often advisable, particularly when harvesting time frames are tight. The hay then absorbs much less moisture overnight, allowing much faster drying subsequently. This operation is carried out with the night swathing gearbox, reducing the rotor speed by one third. The harvested crop is formed into several small swaths.
