5. Operation Instructions
5.1.
Written Instructions
Approach the compost windrow with the windrow centered in the
working area of the Trner®. Before starting in the row, engage the
hydraulics to allow the rotor to spin at a low RPM. With the rotor
spinning backwards, ease into the windrow until the rotor is completely
covered. Then increase RPM to full operating speed. (This is done to
reduce the amount of material to be thrown behind the desired start of
the windrow.) Advance through the windrow at a slow and steady speed.
Ground speed will depend on the size, moisture, and density of the
compost windrow. Fine adjustments in speed can make a significant
difference in windrow shape. Too slow of speed could produce flat
undesirable shape to the windrow. And too fast of a speed could
potentially stall out the skid steer.
When approaching the end of the windrow repeat the process on how the
windrow was started. Once approaching the end of the window slow
down the rotor to a low RPM. Then as the rotor is no longer engaged in
the compost material disengage the hydraulics to stop the rotor from
turning.
Advance to the next windrow and repeat the process as explained above.
If you have any questions on how to further process your composting
windrows, or if you have any questions regarding the operations of your
CT0800 (Patent Pending) compost turner, please feel free to give us a
call (712-476-5600) and we can help guide you with your composting
