Kernel Processors For Deere Forage Harvesters
 ✖  |
"More and more farmers are realizing the value of using a kernel processor to boost the nutritional value of feed," says Paul Smucker, Lancaster Silo Co., Lancaster, Pa. Last year FARM SHOW featured the company's silo blower equipped with a roller mill, as well as a kit for installing a roller mill on a pull-type forage harvester (Vol. 21, No. 5).
Now the company has introduced retrofit models for Deere 3950 and 3970 pull-type forage harvesters. In addition, its kernel processors now are factory-installed by Deere into its 5000 Series self-propelled forage harvesters.
The heart of the retrofit kit is a belt-driven insert with two 9 by 24-in. machine-grooved rolls that turn at different speeds. Processed silage moves quickly through to the auger assembly of the harvester. By removing 8 bolts the insert can be easily removed and replaced with a haylage chute (included with the kit) for processing haylage. The conversion takes only about 30 minutes. List price for the retrofit kit is $11,500.
