What is the role of tilting

1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
February 27, 2025

The tilting function in the GEA Tilting 3-point hitch Super Pump allows the pump to be properly positioned and adjusted when lowered into the manure storage pit. It helps in agitating, homogenizing, and transferring manure efficiently. The tilting mechanism, controlled by hydraulic hoses connected to the tractor, enables better maneuverability and ensures optimal operation.
