Optimum blowing speed
Crop delivery is achieved using specially designed blowing paddles fitted to the outer radius of the flywheel.

Utilising the much higher peripheral flywheel speed, these paddles generate a strong blow, which is ideal for long reach side loading into big trailers. On other systems, knives have to perform two functions; cutting the crop and creating blowing power. This creates an efficiency conflict in selecting the ideal cutting and blowing speeds.

Adjustable knives
Ten full length, tungsten carbide coated cranked knives ensure precision cutting performance and long life. The knives are individually adjustable, allowing new knives to be fitted without having to grind them to the same depth as the old.

　

Even feed Uneven, lumpy swaths present no problems. Four rollers with a unique interlinked levelling system ensure an even crop flow is presented to the flywheel. Powered from the flywheel shaft by a chain, gearbox and shaft drive, the compression rollers have slip clutch protection. Feed roller speed is controlled by the location of the drive belt in the pulley grooves, and provides a choice of three chop lengths when harvesting grass. Removing alternate flywheel knives doubles chop length options.

　

Schnittlängenwahl Feed and compression Four rollers compress the crop and present it evenly to the flywheel knives. Drive is via a strong chain from the flywheel to the feed roller gearbox. From the gearbox, slip clutch protected shafts drive the feed rollers.

Variable chop length
A choice of three chop lengths is achieved by controlling the feed roller speed - this is varied by locating the drive belt in one of three drive pulley grooves. Removing alternate knives doubles the chop length options.
Corn cracker kit
This ensures that maize kernels are abraded to aid digestibility. A two-piece grater
floor is easily fitted into the flywheel housing concave. Adjustable breaker plates and additional masher bars attach to the flywheel itself.
