BAUER CENTERSTAR with BDS 3.0

Technical Advantages of BAUER
Compared to other Pivot Suppliers.
1. Bauer uses main pipe lengths of 5,85m. The competitors use up to 3
different pipe lengths ranging up to 13,4m.
Advantage: Easier for manufacture, less inventory for dealer, less
complications during erection.
2. By using a pipe lengths of only 5,85m, the weight is low which makes
the handling during the installation much easier.
Advantage: 2 people can lift the main pipe by hand. With the larger
pipes offered by competitors, a crane is needed to support the weight.
3. BAUER uses only one truss rod length; Competitor are using different
length and different diameters.
Advantage: BAUER makes it easy; a simple construction and saves
inventory space for storage of parts.
4. Bauer uses 5 different truss angle packages. Other suppliers use up to
7 different angle packages.
Advantage: There are less components needed on stock and the
erection of machines is less complicated.
5. Bauer offers the most universal parts of all the suppliers.
Advantage: Stock is reduced, less spare parts, less training for service
people easier installation..
6. Bauer flexible span connection with ball and socket coupling offers a
large angle for undulating ground (uneven surfaces).
Advantage: Span coupling is used for both; flat and uneven surfaces
but some competitors (Lindsay type) have a standard and special
coupling for rough surfaces.
7. The Bauer uses the largest wheel base of 4,3 m for drive towers
Advantage: The span is more stable than competitors. An example is
in France during massive storms, competitor pivots were overturned
while the Bauer machines were unaffected.
8. Crop clearance for BAUER Pivots are 3,1m
Advantage: American producer are offering 2,8m for long
spans; crops like maize can be damaged.
9. All of Bauer components are hot dipped galvanized according to
DIN 50976 which is a higher standard than that used in the
United States.
Advantage: American based companies galvanizing is
therefore of lower quality.
