2024 Pottinger MERGENTO VT 9220

Welcome to a completely different world of raking. The MERGENTO VT 9220 represents a new generation of forage merging. The new PÖTTINGER merger with a working width of up to 9,20 m for a centre swath, or up to 8,60 m for a side swath, combines maximum versatility and unique reliability when raking any type of crop to deliver the highest quality forage. A real all-rounder.

Features may include:

• Pick-up

The six-row controlled PÖTTINGER pick-up ensures maximum crop intake performance with minimum forage contamination.

• Crop press roller

MERGENTO is a real team player in the harvest chain. It ensures that the follow-up machines also deliver top performance.

• Cross conveyor belt

The two cross conveyor belts are designed for power and strength. The pick-up places crop over the full width of the belts so they can transport the forage sideways to be deposited in a loose swath.

• Sliding rollers

On each belt unit, two tracking rollers are located very close to the point of tine engagement so the pick-up is guided perfectly over bumps in the ground. They track the ground over almost the full working width. This ensures smooth operation even on uneven and soft ground.

• The complete freedom of movement provided by the centre pivot mounting

The complete freedom of movement provided by the centre pivot mounting of the belt units ensures constant weight alleviation over the entire working width at the same time as providing the basis for three dimensional ground tracking. The ingenious design of the boom reacts in a split second to any bumps in the ground. At the same time, the hydraulic weight alleviation of the two booms ensures a low contact pressure of the two belt units. This means:

• Hydraulic drive

Both the pick-up and the cross conveyor belts are driven hydraulically. An oil pump consisting of three units makes it possible to individually control the pick-up as well as the left and right cross conveyor belts.

• Mounting and chassis

Our engineers have succeeded in creating a compact machine that can withstand the highest demands in the field. Weighing in at 4.750 kg, MERGENTO offers the balanced combination of strength and maximum soil conservation.

• Control terminal

The machine's hydraulics are controlled directly using the control terminal. For the functions that are operated by the tractor's hydraulics, both variants use electronic pre-selects. In this case the function is performed by the spool valve on the tractor.
