Features
High-efficiency gearbox
210, 270 and 325 models are driven by a high-efficiency gearbox that provides reliable primary speed reduction with a minimum of moving parts and low maintenance.
Drive system
Large diameter sprockets reduce stress on roller chains. The whole system is self-lubricating thanks to a completely enclosed oil-bath with external grease lines for easy maintenance.
4 auger system
The augers are notched to better grip and loosen bales of dry hay. The bottom augers, which can be fitted with knives, rotate against shear bars to undo the bundles and shred the long stalks of hay and mix them with the other ingredients.
Hardened knives (option)
Tempered knives can be installed in the notches to provide cleaner cutting and faster mixing of long hay.
