OPTIONAL EquIPMENT
DuAL DISCHARGE – 8’ (96”) or 9’-2” (110”) Conveyors
On machines equipped with dual side unloading, the conveyor will unload on either side of the machine. The conveyor is
operated by using the controls on the tractor, for left and right discharge. (The conveyor will reverse from its direction of
discharge, when the remote is moved to the opposite position)
RIGHT/LEFT DISCHARGE – 6’ Flat w/ Height Adjustable 41”, 60”, or 72” Wing Conveyor
Machines that are equipped with right or left discharge have a section of the conveyor that can be raised and lowered. De-
pending on the options on your mixer, raising and lowering the conveyor can be done hydraulically or manually.
For models equipped with a manual lift, the conveyor must be stopped in order to raise and lower it. A turnbuckle assembly is
used to adjust the wing conveyor height. Simply turn the body on the turnbuckle clockwise or counterclockwise, depending
on whether the wing is to be raised or lowered.
For models equipped with hydraulic lift discharge, there are two available options for the conveyor operation. One system
employs the Lock Collar System. Machines equipped with this system have cylinder lock collars supplied with the equipment.
The collars are each different sizes, and are stacked on the lift cylinder’s stroke. The number of lock collars used determines
the lowering height of the wing. Once the desired height is set, the conveyor is lowered (cylinder retracts) until it bottoms on
the lock collar(s). The hydraulic plumbing is designed such that at this point the hydraulic motor on the conveyor will engage.
Once the control lever is reversed, the hydraulic motor will disengage and the conveyor wing will rise (cylinder extends).
DISCHARGE MAGNET ASSEMBLy
Magnet angle is adjustable based on your feed rate and discharge angle on flip up conveyors.
SIDE EXTENTIONS
8” and 12” extensions are available to minimize spillage of light materials during processing and mixing. The purpose of the
side extension option is to help contain long stem material while processing, with the convenience of loading from either side.
STAINLESS STEEL LINERS
Stainless steel liners are installed when mixing course materials to extend mixing chamber life span.
REAR DOOR DISCHARGE CONFIGuRATIONS
The rear discharge door is controlled hydraulically from the tractor. On most units, the rear door option is equipped in addition
to the front discharge door option. The hydraulics for controlling the operation of the rear door is connected to the controls for
the front discharge door. Selecting between the operation of the rear door and the front door is done through a diverter valve.
To open or close the rear discharge door, simply pull the rope attached to the selector valve. This will divert the hydraulic
pressure to the rear discharge door. The rear door is then controlled from the tractor. When the door is opened, feed will be
discharged from the machine onto the ground.
