4.5 EQUIPMENT MATCHING
The Bale Processor is designed to be used
with Agricultural tractors. To insure good
performance, the following list of specifications
must be met:
1. Horsepower:
The Bale Processor requires a tractor with a
minimum of 100 PTO horsepower to obtain the
best results.
2. Drawbar Dimensions:
The tractor drawbar dimension must be 16
inches between the end of the PTO shaft and
the drawbar pin hole center. This will provide
sufficient clearance for turning and allow
telescoping of the shaft. Consult your tractor
manual for the drawbar adjustment procedure.
3. PTO Shaft:
The tractor PTO shaft must meet these
specifications:
1000 RPM - 21 spline, 1 3/8 inch dia.
IMPORTANT
It is not recommended that shaft adaptors be
used on the tractor shaft to prevent operating
at the wrong RPM.
4. Hydraulic System:
The tractor must be equipped with 2 remote
hydraulic outlets with 16 gpm (72 Ipm) at 2000
psi (13,750 kpa). Use one for the bale lift
circuit and one for the cradle tilt circuit. Use the
tilt system flow divider to set the cradle tilt
operating speed. Either closed-centre or
open-centre systems can be used.
