“New And Reconditioned” Hay Rollers Boost Feed Quality, Cut Drying Time In Half
“Our rollers are 100 percent rubber contact rollers that go together like two rubber roller gears. They are balanced and trued to 1,000+ rpm’s and they have no vibration, which saves on bearings and machine wear and tear.
“This saves farmers time and money! Using the machine’s same tension system in the machine, the unique roller design can be used on any style machine,” says Dan Ostrander, owner of B&D Rollers, Glenwood, Minnesota.
Hay producers are finding that THE CRUSHER® cuts drying time by 50 percent and have saved as much as $15,000 or more in a season. How can this be?
“The unique roller design allows producers to cut and chop forage the same day, cut and bale the next, and in most cases, get the crop down to 18 percent moisture for next-day baling. The stem is completely compressed for softer, more palatable hay, leaving the leaves on for greater nutritional value as well as adding more tonnage per bale. All of this adds up to saving time and adding money to the bottom line,”says Ostrander.
The quicker dry-down time has been proven in side-by-side comparison tests with CNH, New Holland, Kuhn, Hesston, Deere, MacDon, AGCO Massey Double and Pottinger conditioners. “Our rollers won’t plug, so you don’t have to get off the machine and waste time. The rollers are self-cleaning in most cases. The thick rubber design provides a cushion for rock and other debris to easily pass through without damage to the steel core. Further, the juices of the product are not permitted to seep into the layer between the rubber and steel core, thus avoiding bond failure.”
B&D Rollers has been in the business of coating industrial steel rollers with rubber and urethane products for more than 28 years. “With our knowledge and experience, it is our mission to provide the farming industry with the highest quality rubber conditioning rollers and other products for the ag industry. Including Bale Rollers, Track Bogie Wheels, Stock Chopper balancing, and draper header rollers.” B & D sells all “new” sets for many brand name machines! We also still recover your old rolls if there is no other option. All sets are turn key and will fit directly into your machine without ANY modifications!
There are currently thousands of machines throughout North America, Mexico, and Australia using THE CRUSHER®. Some of the rollers have already seen 10 seasons! Farmers are able to put 1300 hours a season and run thousands of acres through THE CRUSHER® with little to no wear. Rollers are fully guaranteed for 1 year. B & D Rollers is now recovering bogie wheels and baler rollers, as well as repairing and balancing stalk choppers.
