CORTO front mowers are truly multi-talented, as solo performers or in a team. However wet the crop, however difficult the conditions. And when it comes to ground contour following, the CORTO models show exactly what "flexibility" means.

The PROFIL kinematics system enables the CORTO to adjust to the ground contours in three dimensions, independently of the tractor trajectory. The mower is attached on an oscillating support, for precise and ultra-fast adjustment to the lateral contours.
And placement of the pivot close to the ground provides reliable longitudinal contour following. The low floor trajectory prevents the structure from digging into the ground. This protects the grass cover, and also allows higher mowing speeds. The end result is a consistent, uniform cut profile.
To maintain a constant pressure on the ground, the mower unit is fitted with flotation springs or, as optional equipment, the ACTIVE FLOAT hydropneumatic suspension system. The current suspension setting is conveniently displayed on a pressure gauge easily visible from the cab. The setting can be adjusted to current conditions at any time, even while you mow. This prevents soiling of the forage crop, and delivers consistently excellent forage quality.
The suspension of the FLEXGUARD rear collision protection system allows the side protective covers to move in any direction in the event of a collision, preventing damage to the structures.
A visual marker enables you to check the belt tensioning. If required, you can readjust the tension from outside, without having to open the guard.
Andreas Eldracher, who farms in the hilly Allgäu region, uses a CORTO 3200 F PROFIL in tandem with a DISCO 8400 CONTOUR:
"We had no hesitation about buying a CORTO again. Our last mower was a CORTO, and that machine and its mowing technology served us well for 12 years.
In the CORTO 3200 F PROFIL we have now, I particularly like the ACTIVE FLOAT feature. This system enables the the mower unit to cope effortlessly with bumps, and to mow its way through dips in the ground. The crop flow is great, resulting in a long line of nice tidy swaths. On flat terrain I can operate at faster speeds, up to 18 km/h. My CORTO delivers consistently excellent performance and great swaths - even with a hay crop!"
With their centre of gravity located close to the tractor, CORTO front mowers travel safely on the road, without any rocking problems. The protective covers on the side can be folded back, giving the mower a transport width of under 3.00 m. This compact design also gives the driver a clear view of the road.
An adjustment lever on the CORTO 310 F and 285 F allows individual setting of the cut height, and adjustment to all sorts of different conditions. The lever is also used to secure the mower unit for road transport.
Four large drums with a consistently uniform conveyor action and two adjustable swathing discs produce narrow, uniform swaths. A second pair of swathing discs can be fitted as optional equipment, for an even narrower swath. The compact design of CORTO front mowers makes them ideal for sloping terrain, or for use with smaller tractors, a narrow pick-up or a loader wagon.
The patented spring-suspended front kinematics provide optimum ground-contour following both laterally and longitudinally to the direction of travel. This protects the grass cover and prevents any forage soiling problems. The cut is consistently clean, across the entire working width. As an alternative to spring suspension, the ACTIVE FLOAT hydropneumatic suspension is also available as optional equipment.
As well as looking good, the new CORTO offers impressive functionality. The mower unit edges are now protected with a flexible rubber cover, for reliable prevention of damage and wear.
