WINDROW DRAPER 15/20 SIDE DISCHARGE SHREDDER
Place two windrows next to each other for maximum baling efficiency with the Loftness Windrow Draper 15/20 Side Discharge Shredder. The proven draper design allows unrestricted flow of residue through the machine for trouble-free operation. And the heavy-duty construction provides years of service life, even in the harsh operating conditions of residue management.
The side discharge allows you to double the size of your windrow by tightly placing two windrows next to each other in one round. This greatly increases the efficiency of your follow-up baling operation.
The windrowers feature heavy-duty design, engineering and construction throughout.
A standard feature on all Loftness shredder equipment, this field-proven and extremely reliable gearbox is rated at 280 HP. It spins the rotor at 1,450 RPM.
Windrower shredders are equipped with a reduced number of 4-1/2-inch-wide hard-surface cupped knives. The unique rotor knife pattern is designed to produce increased suction and enhance chop efficiency. Greater suction means you can operate just a bit higher, reducing the risk of striking hidden objects. This helps make the Windrower a perfect preparation tool for baling corn fodder and other kinds of residue.
This exclusive design from Loftness enhances the high-speed free flow of material from the knife head to the draper.
Shredded material passes over the surface of the curved hood at high speed. As it meets the flow deflectors it is redirected to the center of the draper.
The full length of the draper belt and tunnel is accessible through two full-depth hinged canopy doors.
Designed to move massive amounts of shredded crop material to the side diffuser, the draper resists clogging and jamming. Continuous power is provided by a hydraulic motor.
The grate-like diffuser deflects and directs the final chopped residue toward the ground.
The Windrower offers precise height adjustment for fine-tuning performance and chop. Choose between ratchets or hydraulic adjustment.
Efficient transfer of power via a four-groove banded belt and spring-loaded push-type idler system.
1-3/8-inch or 1-3/4-inch 1,000 RPM power takeoff, includes CV knuckle and overrunning clutch on all models.
