HD 2 " main drive shaft dwarfs the competition. It features machined steel sprockets and 667H pintle aprons - Tough Stuff!
24" wide pintle chain apron provides an even discharge to your blower or bagger without the buildup of roller chain conveyors. Hold-downs and fold-down conveyor extension are standard.
Wide Conveyor
This 24" wide conveyor utilizes a pintle apron for an even discharge to your blower or bagger while reducing buildup commonly seen with roller chain conveyors. Chain hold-downs run full length and are standard equipment.
Large Diameter Augers
18" diameter drum augers in a tapered formation provide a smooth mat of feed to the discharge conveyor below. Much smoother than spiral beater arrangements in haylage!
