Loader wagons for tractors from 90 to 150 hp

PÖTTINGER presents the FARO 3510, 4010, 4510, 5010; the models in the medium-capacity loader wagon segment ranging between 90 and 150 hp. The 31-knife knife bank and powerful rotor drive for higher capacity make the new FARO a high-performance loader wagon. PÖTTINGER FARO 8010 / 10010 DRY FORAGE high capacity loader wagons are in a class of their own and have been especially developed for dry crop specialists.

Power transfer up to 1600 Nm 17% higher capacity

The driveline is designed for high outputs. FARO loader wagons are designed for use on tractors up to 150 hp. They are driven by a wide-angle PTO shaft and a cam-type clutch to protect the driveline.

Beater rotor drive transmission

The driveline to the beater rotors is concealed within the frame. The strong drive shaft is protected by a cam clutch at 1200 Nm.

Smooth running and fuel saving

ROTOMATIC PLUS is the heart of the FARO range. Rugged and powerful, the rotor delivers high output chopping and compression. ROTOMATIC PLUS stands for smooth, efficient chopping of the crop and perfect transfer from the pick-up. The loading rotor has seven rows of tines arranged in a spiral with a diameter of 29.52" / 750 mm. The loading rotor is mounted on self-aligning ball bearings at both ends. The bearings are located on the rotor frame between the rotor and transmission to protect the bearings and drive chain.

Sensors mounted in front flap and upper panel section

A sensor at the lower end of the front panel measures the loading pressure for damp, heavy grass and controls the scraper floor. This prevents the forage from being mashed due to excessive load on the loading rotor. The second sensor in the forage compression flap measures the compression inside the loading chamber, ensuring that the forage is compressed uniformly and the loading chamber is filled to the optimum capacity.

Longevity of scraper floor

The PÖTTINGER scraper floor guarantees long term reliability. The load chamber floor is constructed of pressure treated, durable wood. The tongue and groove boards are bolted to the frame, while two sets of hardened slats run offset to each other along the wagon floor. These slats, along with the greasing points for the floor shafts, are easily accessed at the side of the wagon.

Load sensing

All PÖTTINGER loader wagons are load sensing compatible. The required oil flow rate is precisely measured and adjusted to demand, preventing the oil from heating up and saving power by up to 15 kW / 20 hp.

Metering on demand

A uniformly distributed blanket of forage is essential for perfect compaction, with two beater rotors guaranteeing perfect distribution. The aggressive tines deliver an impressive performance, even with highly compressed forage. Bars on the rotors also ensure that maize material can be unloaded effectively. A pressure sensor in the beater rotor bearings controls the scraper floor automatically.

Rugged drawbar

Depending on the type of tractor and the tyres fitted, a turning angle of up to 60° is possible thanks to the narrow design of the drawbar. A pivoting draw bar with two double acting cylinders is fitted as standard. A drawbar shock absorber is available as an option.

Floating pick-up for maximum intake

The PÖTTINGER pick-up guarantees maximum feed rate. The transfer zone from the pick-up tines to the rotor has been optimised and adapted. The Pottinger floating pick-up, with six rows of tines, delivers impressive performance. A reliable and high intake pick-up is still achieved at high forward speeds and in difficult harvest conditions.

Perfect forage flow

An optimised wind guard with swath roller and guide plates ensure perfect forage flow with every type of crop, even at high loading speed.

Controlled pick-up for clean forage

The sealed twin-race roller bearings on the cam rollers are designed to withstand high stresses. The pick-up tines are controlled in a sweeping arc. This results in optimum protection of the sward, lower levels of soil contamination and prevents unnecessary wear to the tines. The pickup is controlled from both ends by a steel cam track. Because the pick-up controls the movement of the tines, the crop is brought closer to the rotor tines which is a real advantage with short, wet grass in the autumn.

Additional tracking roller behind pick-up

This newly developed additional tracking roller is located behind the middle of the pick-up on PÖTTINGER loader wagons. Being located in the centre prevents it from sinking into tractor wheel marks and as a result guarantees perfect ground tracking and clean forage. The Parallelogram makes all the difference. The parallelogram guide linkage ensures 100% freedom of movement of the pick-up, which significantly improves contour tracking for clean forage, even in difficult conditions. The front jockey wheels are adjusted independently. The additional tracking roller is raised with the pick-up. Full ground clearance is still ensured.

Optimised tine geometry

The conveyor tines made from hardened Durostat 500 fine-grained steel are 0.27" / 7 mm thick and ensure maximum performance, even with short, wet forage. The optimised tine shape and large scraper surface ensure the best possible compression in the loading chamber. The tine rings are hooked into the central drum and welded around the circumference for exact positioning. The scrapers have an 0.47" / 12 mm wide rear face and are individually mounted and bolted. They ensure highest possible compression, depending on how the automatic loading system is set.

Faro 4010 combiline

Roof ropes for a rear tarpaulin are available as an option for crop material with a low density. The forage compression flap can be equipped with an optional hydraulic cylinder which can be controlled from the tractor seat. This enables a rapid change between pick up loading and top-fill loading.

EASY MOVE – the original

A unique solution, originally by Pottinger. The EASY MOVE knife bank swings out alongside the wagon to ensure ease of use. Change knives conveniently at the side of the wagon.

Best knife quality

The knives are produced from hardened tool steel and their pressed serrated edge ensures a precise chop. The extra thick rear edge of the knife guarantees an extended service life. FARO 8010 – maximum of 11 knives.

Knife protection

PÖTTINGER protects the heart of the silage wagon with an innovative device: the patented foreign object protection system. This device ensures that each knife is individually protected from damage. High output requires an adapted trigger pressure. Powerful springs securely hold each individual knife in the correct position to ensure an even chop. Where Pottinger stands out is that it’s trigger pressure for wagon knives reacts differently to a foreign object depending on its size. Smaller foreign bodies fall through between the pick-up and the rotor. Larger foreign bodies are pushed by the rotor onto the knife and move it briefly in the direction of rotation. The trigger roll at the back of the knife is lifted out of its holder and the knife releases the foreign body. The resistance is minimal when tripped, which protects the knife. After the object has passed through the chopping system, a spring pivots the knife back into its original position. Unlike a harvester, this system does not pulverise stones. As a result, the cattle leave foreign objects in the trough, preventing injuries to the digestive system from ingestion.

22 in 1 silage/harvesting combination

The FARO 4010 COMBILINE can also be used as a harvest transport wagon, turning it into a cost-effective all-rounder.

Automatic loading system

The automatic loading system guarantees that the wagon is filled to achieve maximum transport capacity. The forage is already carefully compressed in the transfer duct to make full use of the loading chamber. This is standard on the FARO 4010 COMBILINE and FARO 8010 / 10010.

Automatic unloading

A press of a button on the terminal is all that is needed and the full cross section of the tailgate opens to unload FARO L and D models in a few minutes. The automatic unloading system makes life easier for the driver and protects the machine.

Multifunction tailgate

The tailgate opening angle can be set to different positions from the tractor seat to minimise the effects of crosswinds.

Scraper floor drive system

A strong hydraulic motor provides the drive for the scraper floor, the speed of which can easily be controlled. A two speed motor is also available as an option.

Suspended tandem axle with parabolic springs

Nine large parabolic springs, spaced 43,30" / 1100 mm apart, provide the necessary suspension to reduce compression on the ground. The compensating linkage distributes the pressure exerted on the ground evenly between the two axles.

Tandem axles with parabolic spring suspension

Compensator arm prevents swaying while strong trailing linkages apply the braking and steering force. This ensures smooth running in the field and on the road as well as perfect suspension when unloading in the clamp.

Trailed steering axle optional

No damage to sward, even with really heavy loads. The ISOBUS terminal automatically locks the trailed steering axle at high driving speeds and when reversing.

Tandem axles with hydro-pneumatic suspension

The large axle compensation of up to 8.66" / 220 mm is designed to handle challenging field entrances and poor track conditions.

Pneumatic brakes

The four wheel air brake system with automatic load-dependent braking system (ALB) ensures safe and smooth braking at high speed.
