Every farmer’s dream is to get the most out of every blade of grass while ensuring digestible and more nutritious feed for their animals. Not only do Pöttinger’s mowers fulfil farmers’ dreams, but they also perform like a dream through any crop.
Valtrac is the trusted supplier of Pöttinger equipment. The people at Valtrac understand that mowing must be done swiftly and efficiently within the short time windows the weather allows. After all, they are farmers themselves. For a dairy farmer in the heart of Tsitsikamma, it is crucial to maximize the potential of his farm and ensure a continuous supply of feed for his cattle.
Valtrac’s customer base mainly consists of dairy farmers in the region, making it a significant responsibility to provide them with reliable tractors and mowing equipment.
Some of the farmers and contractors in this area share what stands out for them about Pöttinger’s mowers:
One contractor in the Tsitsikamma district explains: “As with any contracting work, time is a major factor, and wear and tear is your enemy. So, we try to use reliable, high-quality equipment to get our work done as effectively as possible with minimal downtime.”
The flat blades easily cut beneath the grass to ensure a smooth and uniform cut.
One of the farmers elaborates on why he specifically chose the Pöttinger 351/301 Alpha Motion mowers: “The fact that you can do twice the cutting work with front- and rear-mounted mowers, where other mowers can only do the work of one, makes so much more sense to me. Now, just one tractor does the work of two.”
It saves time and is more efficient. The tractor also doesn’t flatten the material that needs to be cut.
“The first thing you consider, besides what the equipment offers, is, of course, the cost. I can testify that the value for money we get from Valtrac’s equipment truly makes it worth it,” says another farmer.
Pöttinger’s cutting technology, distributed by Valtrac, has clearly made a lasting impression on farmers in the Tsitsikamma district. The combination of reliability, efficiency, and value for money, makes this equipment essential for any farmer who wants to maximize his farm’s potential.
The Pöttinger mowers are mounted at the front and rear of the tractor. The front mower is the Alpha Motion 301, which cuts 3 metres wide. At the rear is the Novacat 351, which cuts 3,5 meters wide. That is a total of 6,5 meters of top-class cutting with each pass through the field.
