Primo 450 L Pöttinger Primo 450 L Specifications & Technical Data (2005—2014)

Electro-hydraulic operation

Pöttinger has already made a name for itself with self-loading wagons that are comfortable to operate. The control unit operates all loader wagon functions electro-hydraulically.

DIRECT CONTROL (load sensing compatible)

will be available as an option from autumn 2004. The wagon functions can be controlled direct. Hydraulic connection: 1 single-acting unit with pressure-free return.

Original Parts

Original Pöttinger wear parts provide extra value where the figures add up: longer service life, exact fit, always available.

Low drag resistance – saves fuel

The feed rotor is fitted with 3 split, off-set feeding tine bars. As a result, only very small forage batches are fed into the knives, leading to a twelve-phase chopping sequence. Smooth-running loading and high-quality forage is the result. Four banks of feeding tine bars can also be supplied for even higher productivity. Each feeding tine bar is controlled by a cam track at either end of the rotor shaft. The conveyor combs are mounted on hardened rings and wear-resistant plain bearings, and the cam tracks are also hardened to withstand extreme stresses. When the pickup is raised, the loading rotor is switched off automatically by a dog coupling, ensuring efficient loading is guaranteed by a 19 cm high channel.

Dual-row knife bank

The dual-row knife bank is fitted with 16 knives in the top row and 15 knives in the lower row. The dual row arrangement spreads the power required over two phases so overall power consumption is lower. A preselect switch on the control panel lets you pivot the chopping system in and out hydraulically (available as option). Standard models feature manual pivoting using a lever.

Knife replacement made easy

Operate just one hand lever to release all the knives for servicing. The knife bank is also available with hydraulic pivoting mechanism. A hydraulic cylinder swings the knife bank out; it is retracted again by a nitrogen-filled cylinder operated by Select Control. The system is operated comfortably from the tractor seat.

Pivoting knife bank

The patented pivoting EASY MOVE knife bank is also now available with EUROBOSS loader wagons. You don’t even have to bend down to change or clean the knives.

Drawbar and transmission

It has got to really shift. Well-developed solutions allow you to hitch up to the tractor quickly and safely. The transmission components are often a weak point. Not at Pöttinger. The driveline is protected to a high torque and has been tested at high working stresses in the new Pöttinger testing centre. The height of the universal drawbar can be adjusted using two spindles. A hinged drawbar is also available. Automatic interlocks prevent the hinged drawbar from lowering while it is being unhitched. It is also not possible for the drawbar to raise of its own accord in the clamp. The drawbar can bear a load of 900 kg. Continuous loading is possible, even during really tight cornering, thanks to the wide-angle PTO shaft. A cam-type clutch protects the driveline against overloading. When activated, the clutch disengages immediately. After the PTO speed has been lowered again, the clutch engages to transmit the original level of power.
