Overview

This document provides detailed technical data and descriptions for two primary agricultural machines manufactured by Shelbourne Reynolds Engineering Ltd: the Parmiter Shear Bucket and the Shelbourne Cubicle Bedder. Both machines are designed to improve efficiency and versatility in handling feed and bedding materials on farms.

1. Parmiter Shear Bucket

Description and Features

• Versatile machine capable of neatly cutting silage blocks with a sealed face while also functioning as a conventional bucket for loose feedstuff handling.
• Operable entirely from the tractor/handler seat without adjustments.
• Replaces both silage grab and bucket with one unit.
• Powered by heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders operating a front blade and two side blades to shear silage.
• Only one moving part, minimizing wear and adjustment needs.
• Four greasing points reduce maintenance requirements.
• Rugged construction with wear strips on the bucket underside for durability.
• Bolt-on loader and handler brackets available for easy mounting.

Technical Specifications

2. Shelbourne Cubicle Bedder

Description and Features

• Designed to provide a uniform bedding layer quickly and efficiently with minimal operator effort.
• Constructed from rugged welded steel with a 30 cm wide hydraulically driven seamless cleated belt at the bottom.
• Belt operates in either direction, allowing bedding on either side and reducing dust.
• Optional 3-point linkage hydraulic tipping frame with "A" frame attachment available.
• Benefits include time savings, up to 50% bedding material savings, and more evenly distributed bedding.
• Available as rear 3-point mounted with tipping frame or front loader mounted.
• Simple, durable design requiring only one hydraulic flow and return.
• Discharge rates adjustable via internal slides or hydraulic flow control; belt speed controls bedding throw distance (up to 10 ft).
• Hydraulically operated centrally mounted agitator shaft with removable agitator tines to prevent bridging and ensure even feed.
• Suitable for a wide range of materials: sawdust, wood shavings, processed paper, chopped straw, sand, green bedding, lime, gypsum, and more.
• Optional 3-point linkage brackets available.

Technical Specifications

Hydraulic and Operational Parameters

• Hydraulic oil flow requirements vary by model, typically between 15-60 l/min depending on motor size (standard, medium, low).
• Minimum hydraulic oil pressure is 125 bar; maximum is 180 bar.
• Minimum tractor size recommended is 30 hp for Cubicle Bedder models.
• One hydraulic flow and return line needed for Cubicle Bedder operation.

Maintenance and Durability

• Parmiter Shear Bucket features minimal moving parts and four greasing points to reduce maintenance.
• Both machines have rugged, durable construction designed for long-term reliability.

Summary

The Parmiter Shear Bucket and Shelbourne Cubicle Bedder are robust, versatile agricultural machines designed to improve feed and bedding handling efficiency. The Shear Bucket uniquely combines silage cutting and bucket functions, while the Cubicle Bedder offers precise, adjustable bedding distribution with significant material savings. Both machines emphasize ease of use, minimal maintenance, and adaptability to various materials and mounting options.
