"Most Versatile Bale Processor Ever"

"Most Versatile Bale Processor Ever" BALE HANDLING Bale Handling (31B) 22-2-4 "It's the most versatile machine of its kind ever built," says DuraTech Industries International about the Haybuster bale processor the company recently introduced at farm shows across the country. The 2544 "Bale Buster" handles both dry hay and high moisture silage bales equally well, thanks to an adjustable chop-ping system that allows 18 free-swinging cast iron flails to adapt to different crop materials. You simply use a turnbuckle ratchet to move the 17 æ"slug bars" that the flails swing against. The machine also features a new-style cutting screen that allows hay or straw to be chopped to as short as 3 in. in length, the company notes. A big four-blade, 44-in. dia. fan can be adjusted to blow straw as far as 90 ft. across an entire barn (with optional cannon spout) or into feed bunks with a standard spout and deflector shield. Minimum pto requirement is 80 hp and minimum tractor hydraulic output is 8 gpm at 1,500 psi's. Sells for $16,000. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, DuraTech Industries International, P.O.
