The high performance of the new Dondi range

Important new products on display from Dondi at EIMA International. The Umbrian company presented its new range of RT cut rollers which, unlike normal flail mowers, work passively, i.e. without being driven by the PTO. The new RT range includes three carried models, which are respectively two, three and four metres wide, and a six-metre towed model. Each carried model comes standard with a dual three-point attachment that allows it to be used both front and rear of the tractor. During frontal use, Dondi truly highlights the performance of its machines: the frames of these machines - specially designed - are equipped with a special self-steering system to ensure the directionality of the tractor through the front wheels, even in the most impractical uses; the working widths and more generally the entire machine design have been conceived for a front use combined with the rear of the tractor, using one of the other passive equipment items proposed by Dondi; and finally, the independent disk equipment and the toothed tillers, which can be configured with a wide range of anchors and plowshares. The purpose is to allow the user to mow the crop at the end of the cycle and to carry out a minimal process of pre-sowing the new crop in a single step. All this while reducing the power demand, making full use of the coupling devices offered by modern agricultural tractors, obtaining a fast, more balanced and lighter worksite. The towed solution was instead chosen for the six-metre top model, aimed at reducing the loads on the tractor, as well as the power required, in order to offer a more efficient and productive worksite. Another important aspect is the attention paid by the designers to the machine’s adaptability to the terrain. The six-meter work front is covered by three independent rollers, of which the two external ones are installed on an oscillating support. Lastly, it is worth noting that the machine can be folded for road transport.
