Space-Age Self-Propelled Composter MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 22-1-28 Composting manure and other crop residues is a big issue in Europe and there were a number of conventional looking machines at Agritechnica. But this space-age looking composter caught our eye.
The self-propelled machine has a large, 12-ft. wide rotor up front that stirs up compost lying on the ground and loads it onto a 6-ft. wide rubber conveyor that runs back under the cab and out the back where it can either be loaded into a truck or wagon, or dropped back onto the ground for further composting.
Powered by a Caterpillar 181 hp. engine and equipped with rubber tracks, the machine will stir up as much as 2,000 cu. yards of compost her hour.
