The POTEL BIL TRIMMER features a “double-blade” mechanism with two mobile blades (series COLO04 tooth) on the vertical cutting bar. The Double-blade movement with double connecting rod enables the sliding of the two blades without any vibration and ensuring a neat cut of vegetation. Besides, this type of movement implies require less maintenance work both during daily work and for the preparation for garaging while not used.The trimmer is suitable also for the application on tractors with reduced hydraulic power or for semi-light tractors used on slopes with high transverse gradients
The new frame of the trimmer ECO 010 and ECO 011 are different from the other models mainly for transferring the lateral movement and the articulation for the hydraulic inclination on the lower part of the frame with three bid advantages:
*reduction of the aerial weight
*improved stability
*possibility of working on slopes with high transverse gradients (for horizontal rows)
*better visibility
This equipment was awarded the PRIZE for TECHNICAL INNOVATION 2011 at the EXHIBITION OF MECHANIZED AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY OF SAVIGLIANO (CN – Piedmont)
The trimmer of the “Potel” series belongs to equipments with “cutting blades”, featuring double alternated movement of the blades called “double-blade” reducing the vibrations to the minimum. This system performs a neat cut making the wound on the shoot of the vine less evident and allowing more rapid healing. Differently from the cutting system with “free blade” (knife) producing a wider and more irregular wound and requiring more demanding daily maintenance, with the cleaning and sharpening of the blades many times a day, the periodical checks of the rotation parts (bearings, belts) as well as higher risk exposure due to the ejection of the residual vegetation during the work.
The trimmer of the “Potel” series belongs to the cutting type with cutting bars featuring double alternated movement of the blades called “double-blade, reducing the vibrations to the minimum.
Equipped with two cutting bars (left-right) for the lateral vegetation with preparation and possible application of the respective retractable tops (hats) for cutting the upper vegetation. Complete with blade attachment plates with shockproof safety device with mechanical release.
Five-lever distributor, one of which is in series with flow divider (only for tractors with high-capacity pump). The working width is set using two hydraulic pistons (left/right) (+/- 30°) with equal connection – distributed by a single control. The two angles are independent as are the two tops, if present, (from 0° to 90°).
