The KMC Poultry Litter Windrower is made up of 4 main components: a main frame, a
swing cylinder, driveline and angle adjustment brace. The Poultry Litter Windrower runs next
to the wall and through the interior of the house. Material is moved along the blade and dis-
charged by the auger system into windrows. Care should be taken when operating next to
walls as the wall scraper attachment will not flex around posts and other obstacles and is
only meant to funnel litter into the augers. For cleaning next to walls a KMC Wall Cleaner is
recommended.
The Litter Windrower has three main adjustments, two on the swing arm and one on
the front hitch. Depending on the windrowing method used and the width of the house it may
be necessary to have the left set of tractor tires running on a pile of litter. In this case the
floating hitch clevis should allow the windrower to self level or an optional front hitch cylinder
can be used to level the Litter Windrower with the floor. The swing cylinder and angle
adjustment brace are used to set the running angle. A 10° to 30° running angle is
recommended. Beyond 30°, the driveline joint angle exceeds manufacturer recommendations
and can damage the C.V. joint. The cylinder on the swing arm can also be used to help navi-
gate around obstacles near the wall.
Operating Speed
The auger rotational speed should be set to keep material sufficiently cleaned out from
in front of the blade. The auger speed is adjusted by varying the tractor engine RPM. Recom-
mended PTO RPM is 540.
The Litter Windrower should be operated at a ground speed of 3/4 miles per hour or
slower. Ground speed will be dependent on the amount of material being removed and the
auger speed.
