How it works Whether feeding or bedding simply load the bale into the drum, start the cutting rotor and set the drum to rotate. DRUM A hydraulic motor rotates the drum via drive belts. Discharge rate is controlled by varying the drum angle and speed of rotation. CHUTE The rotor discharges material to one or both sides, depending on chute options. Chutes can be turned off independently. ROTOR Direct drive from the PTO spins the cutting rotor. As the bale rotates with the drum, material is skimmed from the end of the bale. Built to meet your needs From round to rectangular bales, to bed straw or...
