SINGLE BEATER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The bale restraint above the crossbeater should not
need adjusting for different bale types. When loading,
the top cover can be folded towards the front of the
machine.
TWIN BEATER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The bale restraint above the crossbeaters should only
have the 3 bale stop bars fitted when shredding 1.3m x
1.2m x 2.5m large rectangular bales. When shredding
round bales, smaller rectangular bales and dispensing
clamp silage these bars are not required and may be
detrimental to the performance of the machine.
Long, dry silage may be difficult to handle causing the
shear bolt to fail. By increasing upper cross beater
speed and altering blade and ripper configuration, it may
be possible to shred this material. Using a chopper
baler will also solve this problem. Please contact the
manufacturer for further details.
COMMON OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
In use, the bed chain rotates, feeding the bale into the
crossbeater(s). The output and power requirement can
be increased by increasing the forward speed of the bed
chain.
The strings or net should be removed from the bale as it
is being loaded into the machine. The Tomahawk will
shred some string but some will tend to wrap around the
crossbeater(s). Putting twine or netwrap through the
machine is not recommended as it will be eventually
spread on the land and pollute the next crop of silage or
hay.
Bales can be loaded into the machine in two ways, using
a loader or by self-loading using the machine tailgate. If
a loader is used, simply load the bale into the bale
chamber such that it is fully inserted, but without
ramming it against the crossbeater(s).
When loading the machine, avoid running the bed chain
without the rotors turning if there are large amounts of
material still in the bale chamber. Material will be placed
into the rotor housing causing the rotor to jam at start up.
Do not stand above the machine on a stack of
bales or in a barn to load the machine manually.
When removing string or netwrap from bales never
climb into the bale chamber or onto the tailgate
behind a bale unless the PTO has been
disengaged, the engine has been stopped, the key
removed and the machine come to rest.
The tailgate is designed to load bales into the chamber
of the machine. For large rectangular bales place the
bale on the ground with one end against a solid object.
For easy removal of the strings place the bale on its side
so that the strings are not in contact with the ground.
Reverse the machine with the tailgate lowered until the
bale slides up the tailgate into the bale chamber. Raise
the tailgate until it is horizontal and engage the bed
chain to move the bale fully onto the tailgate.
Make sure the drawbar is securely attached to the
tractor as when loading bales or silage the weight
of the material on the tailgate may cause the
drawbar to lift.
Make sure that the bale is not forced against the
crossbeater(s) as this may cause problems when
starting the machine. Before removing the strings, place
the posts in the sockets on the tailgate and put the chain
around the rear of the bale.
To load round bales, reverse the machine under the
bale so that the bale rests against the tailgate. Lift the
tailgate slightly and drive forward a short distance away
from the solid object before raising the tailgate further
either roll the bale onto the tailgate or cut the strings or
netwrap on the machine side of the bale as low as
possible. Raise the bale into the chamber and then
remove the strings. A second bale can be loaded and
carried on the tailgate.
When loading clamp silage, lower the tailgate to give a
larger body capacity. The hydraulic oil pressure
required to rotate the bed chain would be determined by
the quantity of silage loaded. The machine requires
operating pressures of 120 bar (1750 psi.) when the
body is filled with clamp silage.
Adjust the deflector to give the desired spread width.
Engage the PTO with the tractor engine on low idle and
increase the speed rapidly when the clutch has engaged
fully. Once the rotor is rotating at the working speed,
operate the spool valve so that the bed chain starts
rotating and shredding is commenced.
With 2 round bales in the machine, the tailgate must be
lowered so that the second bale is not in contact with the
first allowing it to rotate freely (see figure 1).
Do not force bales against the crossbeater(s) using the
tailgate as it may cause damage to the machine.
Figure 1. shredding round bales
When shredding rectangular bales, keep the tailgate in a
position such that the rear of the bale is falling away
from the front and no pressure is applied to the front half
of the bale (see figure 2).
The bed chain should be operated at 15 rpm to force the
front half of the bale to rotate in the bale chamber in the
same way that a round bale would rotate (see figure 2).
