Silage distribution
- Start up the tractor PTO and bring the engine up to
nominal speed.
- Switch the tractor's hydraulic distributor to continuous
pumping.
- Point the delivery chute downwards so that the forage
should be properly channelled to the ground or into a
trough.
- Start up the beater bar using the clutch (until the
indicator lamp lights up, if you have electric controls).
- To distribute the product, start the conveyor running
forward and adjust the speed:
• Set the conveyor to forward.
• Adjust its speed.
- Rake product regularly onto the conveyor using the
hook.
- The conveyor speed is set at the control box
according to the forward speed and product
distribution criteria and the type of product.
- When the distribution is finished:
• Retract the arm and hook as far as they will go.
• Stop the conveyor and disengage the beater bar.
• Disengage the bale separator.
• Close the distribution chute.
• Disengage tractor PTO.
To distribute light products (maize silage, food
supplements), reduce the tractor engine speed
and hence the turbine rotation speed as far as
possible to limit spraying product onto the
ground.
