Pick-up
PONY, BOSS, PROFI GP
The pickup guide plate is shaped to collect all the crop.
Ideal pivotting action and countersprings make the pickup extremely adaptable to uneven ground.
Hydraulic pickup lift system has two cylinders; one at each end.
The pneumatic pickup wheels can be adjusted 8-fold and are located precisely at the tine contact point. A freewheel mechanism protects the tines during reversing.
Countersprings at each end guarantee the best possible ground hugging.
BOSS and PROFI GP self-loading wagons. 5 rows of tines and a 1.65 m wide pickup.
PONY and BOSS-junior have 4 rows of tines and a pickup 1.55 m wide.
LADEPROFI, ERNTEPROFI
Five rows of tines on LADE/ERNTEPROFIs and 1.65 m wide pickup.
The speed of the tine movements is synchronised with the speed of the loading system.
The closely spaced tine sequence ensures that the crop is lifted cleanly even at high loading speeds.
The tines are bolted onto gauge tubes. Heavy-duty "Super C"-quality tines have a longer service life. The tubes are supported in the middle by a support disc, right where the stress is highest.
The height-adjustable rubber wheels contact the ground on exactly the same line as the tines and guide the pickup perfectly through each hollow.
The pickup transmission with integrated clutch disengages automatically when the pickup is raised.
A height-adjustable pickup guide plate ensures that even really short forage is not left behind.
The fine-tuned countersprings absorb shocks and prevent the pickup from sinking in on damp ground.
PICK-UP!
The hardened steel cam track has a solid centre. Not a casting - this material does not wear even after years of service. Between the pickup and the loading system the crop passes over heattreated transfer plates. Foreign objects and earth are able to fall through away from the crop here. This system is only available from Pöttinger. The knives are fully protected.
SUPERMATIC-loading system
Smooth loading system
Because the loading comb bars are split in the middle the stress is distributed over more cam rollers and a larger cam control surface.
The wide conveyor duct protects the crop and guarantees highest loading performance.
Each knife cuts the crop exactly between the dual tines.
The cam tracks at each end are circular and ensure smooth, jolt-free running and a long service life.
The pickup and loading system are equipped with automatic transmission for reversing.
PONY 1 / 2 Two / three loading comb bars, supported in the middle, cam track at one end. U-shaped feed tines also load short forage reliably
BOSS Junior Three split loading comb bars, cam track at each end, six-phase conveying and cutting sequence.
BOSS / ERNTEBOSS Three split loading comb bars, cam track at each end, twelve-phase conveying and cutting sequence. Every other pair of tines is shortened so there are two levels of chopping to save power.
PROFI GP / ERNTEBOSS Four split loading comb bars, cam track at each end, sixteen-phase conveying and cutting sequence. Loading system is equipped with a central lubrication system.
CUTTING SYSTEM The original with s e r r a t e d b l a d e s
Often copied - never equalled
Perfect serrated blades ensure that even after the knife edge is blunt a good chop is still achieved.
The curved knife shape delivers a continuous, power-saving cut.
The blanket of forage is always cut with precision to protect the crop.
SUPERMATIC knife security system: If an object triggers the security system, there is only minimal resistance as the knife moves back (up to 13 cm clearance), and then clicks into place again.
22 knifes (BOSS, ERNTEBOSS)
PONY 7-knife cutting system, can be removed and fitted quickly, without tools. Curved knives provide the best cutting action. BOSS Junior Up to 12 quick-change knives.

SUPERMATIC!
Central lubrication manifold for easy maintenance. Standard equipment on PROFI GP and ERNTEBOSS with 31 knives. Cam track at either end for only half the stress on the control elements. The combs are positioned precisely in each phase. On all self-loading wagons: all loading combs are fitted with hardened bearing bushes.
The knife banks can be individually pivoted and can simply be lowered to the ground. Quick-release knives: release catch, remove knife.
31-knife chopping system available as option with hydraulic pivoting for all ERNTEBOSS and PROFI Grand Prix models.
Comfortable control
Hydraulic coupling
For hydraulic pickup lift system, or hydraulic scraper floor.
The hydraulic coupling can be combined with a hand pump so no hydraulic connection is necessary. Convenient and straightforward operation.(for PONY, BOSS junior 1 and 2)
Cab control unit with preselected programs
Hydraulic cab control unit for
Pick-up
scraper floor
tailgate
Comfort version:
Hydraulic drawbar
Extension
SELECT CONTROL One-finger operation
All hydraulic functions controlled electronically - no more hydraulic hoses in the cab.
Only one single-acting hydraulic connection with return line required.
Pick-up, drawbar, scraper floor, tailgate, extension, chopping system are all operated hydraulically.
Optional for BOSS junior 2 (with hydraulic scraper floor), BOSS Junior 3, BOSS and PROFI GP, standard for ERNTEBOSS 2 H.
Every ERNTEPROFI features electronic controls
The front end control box for the loading functions is always in the cab. Control unit for:
pickup
drawbar
roof extension
scraper floor
tailgate
The two control panels can be joined to form a neat unit.
METERING!
ERNTEBOSS
The metering system at the rear end of the wagon is convenient to operate.
The speed of the scraper floor can be regulated to exactly match the throughput of a forage blower.
ERNTEPROFI The control box for operating the unloading functions can be mounted either next to the front control box, or at the tailgate.
Choice of axles and tyres
PONY, BOSS, PROFI-GP Choice of axles Braked axles, high-loaders fitted with reversible rims (changes track width from 1550 mm to 1750 mm). Bolted axle unit enables tandem axle with suspension to be retrofitted.
Tandem axle with compensating suspension A compound suspension system (optional) optimises the load distribution to each axle.
Tyres:
15-17, reversible for track width of 1550 and 1750 mm
19.0/45-17, track width 1600 mm
LADE-/ERNTEPROFI With 15-17 tyres the track width can easily be changed from 1550 to 1750 mm by turning the wheels around. On trailers with tandem axles offsetting the track widths of 1550 and 1750 mm will help to distribute the load more evenly. Single axle up to 6.9 t permissible total weight, 25 km/h.
Dual air brakes for single axle up to 5.6 t permissible total weight, 40 km/h 19.0/45-17/10 PR. Tandem axle up to 8 t permissible total weight, 25 km/h,
Dual air brakes with ALB for tandem axle up to 9 t permissible weight, 40 km/h 15.0/55-17/10 PR Air brakes or hydraulic brakes (varies from country to country)
Pneumatic brake system with ALB controller (automatic load-controlled brake system) can be upgraded to ABS as option
High degree of safety with higher loads even with the hydraulic braking system.
Each wheel is fitted with a brake cylinder as standard
Steered axles as option
Steered axles to protect the sward and reduce side forces while cornering. The steered axles are locked by a separate hydraulic connection for reversing and higher speeds. Protects the tyres against wear.
NEAT!
Spring suspension tandem axles The compound suspension optimises the load distribution to each axle. While driving over bumpy ground the forces are distributed to both axles, not adsorbed by the limit stops. Best control on slopes, same load on each axle, even during braking. Huge leaf springs provide the necessary shock absorption.
The small, lightweight BOSS with the power efficiency advantage over larger heavier models. Better performance, reliability and comfort with capacities of 11 to15 m3.Available as high-loader or low-loader for steep slopes with the latest 12-knife chopping system.
Comfortable operation - adjustable control panel; lever within easy reach for stress-free operation.
Pneumatic jockey wheels supplied as standard.
The Pick-up floats over any bumps in the ground.
The drawbar is height-adjustable
Robust chassis
Braked axle for safety on slopes.
Adjustable track width.
The heavy duty steel section framework can resist the highest stress.
The rigid metal walls are galvanised and plastic-coated.
Countersprings make the dry forage extension foldable - it is fitted with enough ropes to ensure that no forage is lost.
Easy to service: Hinge back or remove quick-change knife unit.
A BOSS Junior fits every tractor. Hydraulichinge-drawbar optional for clamp.
Hydraulic tailgate optional for additional comfort.
Rapid unloading, belt-driven scraper floor transmission. Jolt-free, quiet and independent of the hydraulics system.
