Helper not mowing with Pottinger 301ED+X8ED connected at the front

Post by IseOlen »

You can attach both Pottinger mowers to the front - first the wide X8 ED, then the "middle part" - 301ED. This leaves the back for either windrower or tedder. So from front to back: 301ED -> X8ED -> tractor -> windrower. In manual mode this all works - you can mow and use a windrower (tested this) in one go. Unfortunately - helper doesn't like the arrangement at the front - wont work like this. Any hope this will be fixed?

It does work on helper but only on a field you own and have planted grass.

Nevermind. Got it to work on one bit of the field. Will see how far it will go.

Tested it some more now and I have a theory - helper doesn't like to start from a self-plowed bit. Although - in some cases I think I was on the original field and still it would not run.
So I call this still buggy.
