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.
In combination with the traction cable winch, the Moritz radio-controlled crawler becomes an unbeatable helper on very demanding and steep terrain.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The hydraulically driven traction winch extends the range of applications of the Moritz. The traction cable winch enables safe use of the radio-controlled crawler on extremely demanding terrain.
The combination of a radio-controlled crawler and a traction winch is unique.
The rope infeed with all-round rotating rope infeed roller is mounted on the vertically mounted rotation arm. As such, the radio-controlled crawler is not obstructed by the tensioned pull rope and all directions of travel can be freely selected.
Whether in summer or winter – the highest precision, flexibility and performance are required in alpine terrain. The Moritz radio-controlled mini felling tractor impressively demonstrates its strengths in both summer ski slope maintenance and slope preparation in special operations. With its advanced technology and powerful traction cable winch, it is an indispensable aid in alpine tourism.
A special highlight is the traction cable winch. With a maximum cable length of 1,000 metres, it enables safe work in extreme terrain. It provides additional stability and reduces soil load, which is particularly important in sensitive alpine ecosystems. The cable winch ensures that the Moritz has optimum grip at all times and can work efficiently, even on the most difficult terrain. The winch is controlled synchronously with the traction drive and keeps the cable permanently under tension. The fully rotatable guide arm allows freedom of movement in all directions. The operator does not have to control this additionally, as it is controlled automatically via the traction drive of the Moritz radio-controlled mini felling tractor.
Summer ski slope maintenance in Serfaus
During the summer months, ski slopes are transformed into versatile recreational areas. The Moritz radio-controlled mini felling tractor is used in Serfaus to prepare the ski slopes for the winter season during the summer months. The versatile machine takes on tasks such as mulching, soil cultivation and landscape maintenance. Thanks to its powerful engine, powerful mini felling tractor drives and traction cable winch, the Moritz can safely drive over even the steepest slopes and work efficiently. It is then used, for example, in the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis ski area to remove the alpine alders and thus enable earlier and longer skiing.
The remote-controlled Moritz implement carrier for clearing snow
The Moritz clearing snow on the Glockner at an altitude of 2,450 m. The terrace of the Fuschertörl restaurant is being cleared here, among other places. The standard three-point hitch also enables attachments from other manufacturers to be used without modification.
Winter operation at the night race in Schladming
The Moritz radio-controlled mini felling tractor also demonstrates its performance in slope preparation in special operations, e.g. for the famous night race in Schladming. Highest precision and perfect slope quality are required here. If fresh snow falls in the last few days before or between the races, the Moritz is used to throw it over the safety fences with an attached snow blower and thus outside the race track.
Innovation meets practicality
The Moritz radio-controlled mini felling tractor also sets new standards in alpine terrain preparation, e.g. in renovating bike trails or hiking trails. Its intuitive wireless control enables precise and safe operation, while its robust design ensures maximum reliability. Thanks to the universal, flexible three-point mounting space, different tools and attachments can be fitted to the Moritz – a true all-rounder.
With its high performance and technical sophistication, the Moritz radio-controlled mini felling tractor is an indispensable working tool for alpine tourism regions that sets new standards.
