Towed tedder VOLTO

Pure persuasive power.
 

The 29.3° trailed connection also has a positive impact on crop delivery. Like the trailed spreading blades of a fertilizer spreader, this configuration ensures a wider and more even distribution of the harvested crop for an optimal spread pattern. This fertilizer spreader effect is further supported by tine tension release in the direction of the winding, spreading the crop over the entire width.

To cushion loads, the tines have five windings. The material thickness of 0.37" (9.5 mm) still provides enough rigidity for a clean raking result. To protect animals and follow 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.

The greatest forces involved in tedding are those acting on the spreader arms. Accordingly, these arms are manufactured from rounded tubing for extreme torsion resistance. They are bolted to the rotor plate and are further strengthened by a reinforcement ring with recesses.

To adapt the machine to harvesting conditions, the spreading angle can be set from 12° to 18°, depending on the model. The tines can also be adjusted forward or backward by 7°, allowing you to fine-tune your desired spreading pattern.

To produce high-quality forage, the harvested crop must be dried out evenly. Therefore, the tines on VOLTO machines are 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.

The T models are fitted with a short drawbar and a road transport chassis behind the rotors. This ensures a narrow turning circle and simple, compact handling in the field, while the long wheelbase allows speeds of up to 25 mph (40 km/h) on the road.

If the single-acting control unit is moved into the floating position, the self-steering system is automatically activated in the working position. This eliminates the need to lift into the headland position for tight turning maneuvers, making the enormous working width of up to 49.5' (15.10 m) even more efficiently and gently used.

Since every blade of grass counts and soiling has no place in the forage, up to 14 small rotors adapt perfectly to the ground.

The large towed tedders with transport chassis behave like compact, mounted models in the field. The rotors—mounted in a floating position—run close to the chassis that acts as a castor guide wheel.
