The improved mini mowing tractor versions of the Moritz implement carrier come in 50 and 75HP variants and reflect the motto The design is the same, but everything is new. Technically, they are playing in a different league. With a universal three-point mounting, mechanical PTO and power hydraulics, these high-performance mini tractors offer impressive performance in a wide range of applications. They can be combined with existing attachments. The Moritz today ranks alongside a traditional mini mowing or mulching tractor, but also offers further advantages.
The Moritz was introduced in 2016 as a mini felling tractor for forestry. We quickly realised that ideas for Moritz's application go far beyond what we could initially have imagined. We have continued to work on the technology and are now proud to present the second generation: a fully-fledged, multipurpose implement carrier. Today's Moritz impresses not only in forestry. Its two double-bladed mowers also excel at environmentally-friendly mowing of steep slopes, biotope areas and moss meadows, for example. Other possible applications include alpine meadow inclines or ski slopes.
Technically, the second generation of Moritz mini tractors is playing in a different league. This starts with the high-torque (up to 260Nm) four-cylinder Deutz engine, now offering 36.4 or 55.4kW. The powerful common rail injection system and highly efficient combustion featuring cooled external exhaust gas recirculation guarantee maximum engine performance as well as low fuel consumption and emission values. The water-cooled four-cylinder in-line engine has cooled external exhaust gas recirculation and comes with or without turbocharging in the Fr75 model and without in the Fr50 model. The new engine categories in conjunction with the powerful hydraulics system and the additional mechanical PTO mean higher-output attachable implements can be operated.
The hydraulics system consists of three separate systems for the traction drive, on-board and power hydraulics. This separation opens up new dimensions for all three systems.
- Traction drive hydraulics | 2x 11kW, i.e. one pump per chassis
- On-board hydraulics | 18l/min, 200 bar, six dual-action control units
- Power hydraulics | 96l/min, 300 bar with multi-coupling
The on-board hydraulics now offer up to four proportional and two black and white double-action functions, all of which can be operated simultaneously using the remote control.
Depending on requirements, the proportional traction drive can be pre-selected within two infinitely adjustable speed levels. Top speed, for travelling to the work site for example, is 6.0km/h. Operation is by a joystick that can be used with one hand. This also makes it possible to turn the vehicle on the spot by having the two chassis rotating in opposite directions.
The traction drive offers comfort functions for greater ease of use and higher working performance. A drift setting can be pre-configured to compensate for the gravitational effect when mowing diagonally across a slope. The remote control device also allows infinitely variable adjustment of the final speed to suit the application or the implement attached.
The track gauge of the Moritz can be changed to achieve optimal chassis width for transport and ensure stability on slopes. The chassis can be hydraulically widened by 400mm using the remote control. This effectively prevents tipping over even on extreme slopes, giving optimal protection against overturning.
A mini mowing tractor that is ideal for sensitive ground and demanding terrain
The large chassis comes in two widths: 250mm, or 300mm for special applications.
Combined with the tractor’s low dead weight, this ensures ground contact pressure is only a minimal 0.28 or 0.33kg/cm². Even in wet areas, working and driving will not damage the ground.
Always energized
The new generation of Moritz remote-controlled implement carriers also has a completely new drive design. Automatic belt tracking by means of a hydraulically tensioned twin guide wheel reliably prevents the belts from slipping off even on rough surfaces or when driving uphill or over obstacles.
The remote-controlled implement carrier offers two attachment mounts. The main one uses a three-point mounting (category 1) for fitting implements. A front attachment mount with hoist is also available as an option.
For use in difficult tree felling, a winch mounted using a quick-change system can be integrated into the vehicle in just a few steps. A single person can do this in only a few minutes, using the lifting device.
Traction winch
Hydraulically driven traction winch for securing the crawler on steep and difficult terrain, and minimising ground damage. Cable infeed with all-round rotating cable infeed pulley, mounted on the vertically supported rotation arm, so that the vehicle is not hindered by the tensioned traction cable, and all directions of travel can be freely selected.
