Turning and windrowing – The new belt rake attachment for the AS 600 MultiPro

Often, grassland maintenance is not complete with mowing. This is the case, for example, with rough pasture areas, where the next step is to remove clippings from the area to avoid nutrient enrichment. This is not the only reason why AS-Motor offers a new attachment for the AS 600 MultiPro implement carrier: a belt rake with a working width of 120 centimetres.

Ecologically oriented green space maintenance is becoming increasingly important. The aforementioned lean grasslands play an important role here. This is because the nutrient deficiency due to the reduction of clippings on certain grassland sites is an important prerequisite for the flowering of many herbs. For work on these sites, the new cultivation belt rake is the optimal complement.

For small farms, the belt rake can also be used in various functions for forage collection. Without the windrow tarp and with higher engine speeds, the machine functions as a turner. With the windrow tarp and lower engine speeds, the forage is conveniently gathered together. The windrow can then be skilfully picked up and transported away.

The belt rake is driven via the three-point linkage on the AS 600 MultiPro implement carrier. The drive is very robust thanks to two V-belts and the guided teeth ensure clean collection of the crop. The infinitely adjustable windrow tarp is used to adapt to the amount of available forage.

The working depth can be continuously adjusted on the two front support wheels. Freely rotating front wheels also ensure maximum manoeuvrability for the machine. The belt rake can be conveniently parked on the height-adjustable support leg.

The new belt rake will be available from summer 2022.
