Introduction Your model 2100 BALEBUSTER™ is designed to load and shred most types of baled livestock forage. It is designed specifically for use on 6-1/2 ft. diameter round bales weighing up to 1,500 pounds and 5-1/2 feet in length. To avoid possible damage to the machine and risk of injury to the operator, consult with a DuraTech Industries representative before attempting to shred materials other than livestock forage.

Do not operate a 2100 BALEBUSTER when you are fatigued. Be alert - If you get tired while operating your 2100 BALEBUSTER, take a break. Fatigue may result in loss of control. Working with any farm equipment can be strenuous.
Machine safety labels The safety decals located on your machine contain important information that will help you operate your equipment. Become familiar with the decals and their locations. DANGER: FLYING HAY, ROCKS, AND OTHER OBJECTS THROWN BY MACHINE. STAY CLEAR OF DISCHARGE SIDE OF MACHINE UNLESS OPERATOR HAS STOPPED TRACTOR ENGINE AND MACHINE HAS STOPPED ROTATING.

Everyone must be kept clear of work area except operator seated at tractor controls. b. Never work on or near the 2100 BALEBUSTER unless engine is shut off and flails stopped. c. Disengage PTO and make sure everyone is clear of machine before starting engine.
The discharge deflector is adjustable to allow forage to be spread to any desired width. Slug bars in front of rotor may be adjusted to expose more or less of the flail knives by adding or subtracting washers. (See section 3.4, “Adjusting the machine” for more information) Check wheel bearings, and seals 10.
Refer to pages 40 and 41, Shredder Front Assembly for this portion Install PTO shield 8101144 on 2100 BALEBUSTER using the 3/8x1 bolts as shown in the drawing. Be sure to measure shaft end distances when hitching to tractor, see section 3.2.2.
Check for loose flail anchor bolts, torque to 200 Ft lbs. Machine operation check With Tractor hooked up to the 2100 BALEBUSTER, try all functions on the machine. When unfolding, keep bystanders away from work area. Unfold rack and deflector, and loader tine frame; To unfold the loader tine frame, place the tine frame in the unlocked position, tilt hinge frame hydraulically to allow loader tine frame to lay on ground.

Section 3: Machine Operation Introduction to the machine Figure 3.1 Front view of the 2100 BALEBUSTER 3.1.2 Operator’s station/controls Operator controlled items: • Loading tines, to load the bale. One tractor hydraulic circuit is used to control loading tines. (See section 3.2.6 for more information.) •...
3.1.3 Bale conveyor speed Bale conveyor speed is set with the bale conveyor speed control valve. To chop the forage finer, decrease the conveyor speed by rotating the control lever up and to the left. For a coarser cut, increase the conveyor speed by rotating the lever to the right and down.
3.1.5 Stripper plates/screens The BALEBUSTER comes with one stripper plate standard. For a finer cut, one or two more stripper plates can be added. (See section 3.4.2, for more information about adding or removing stripper plates.) In applications where a very coarse cut is desired, the stripper plate may be removed.
3.1.7 Slug bars The 2100 BALEBUSTER comes with five slug bars. The slug bars can also be adjusted to expose more or less of the flail knives to the bale. This is accomplished by adding and subtracting flat washers, from either end of each bar.
3.2 Operation To insure long life and economical operation, we highly recommend the operator of the 2100 BALEBUSTER be thoroughly instructed in the maintenance and operation of the machine. There is no substitute for a sound preventative maintenance program and a well-trained operator.
Connect the two hydraulic hoses from the bale conveyor speed control valve to the second set of hydraulic couplers on the tractor. Raise the three point hitch until the 2100 BALEBUSTER frame is level. Lock the hitch control lever in that position.
To start the machine, perform the following steps: Adjust the deflector to desired position. Load bale into the 2100 BALEBUSTER. (See Section 3.2.6 for a description of this procedure.) Position the 2100 BALEBUSTER where you want to begin shredding the bale.
2100 BALEBUSTER. A variation of the following procedure may be used if so instructed within this manual or your tractor manual or if an extreme emergency requires it.
To load bales into the 2100 BALEBUSTER, perform the following steps: NOTE: The loading area should be flat and level. Position the 2100 BALEBUSTER ahead and to the side of the bale. Extend the hydraulic cylinder, lowering the loading tines until they are on the ground.
Check your state laws regarding the use of lights, slow moving vehicle signs, safety chain and other possible requirements. NOTE: A bracket is located on the front of the 2100 BALEBUSTER to hold the front half of the PTO shaft.
3.3.2 Removing from storage (shipping position) Remove all protective coverings. Remove blocking from under 2100 BALEBUSTER. Check tire pressure. Lubricate machine in accordance with lubrication instructions found in this manual. Check all hydraulic hoses for deterioration and, if necessary, replace. Tighten any loose bolts, nuts and hydraulic fittings.
Adjusting the machine 3.4.1 Changing distribution pattern The deflector can be positioned for creating a windrow, spreading, bunkfeeding, or stockpiling. Lower the deflector for a narrower windrow and raise the deflector for a wider spread. To change the position, pull the release lever, Rotate the deflector to the desired position and release the handle. A wider deflector belt (PN 8100819) is available for bunk feeding or additional material control.

Figure 3.7 stripper plate position and slug bar settings CHANGING SLUG BAR SETTINGS Exposing less flail will create a finer cut, while exposing more flail will create a coarser cut. This is accomplished by moving flat washers from one end of each bar to the other end. ADJUST CONVEYOR SPEED Moving the lever counterclockwise will slow the conveyor, and make a finer product.
Section 4: General maintenance CAUTION: Before performing any maintenance or adjustments make sure machine is NOT running. If for any reason arc welding is to be done, always ground cylinder to frame of machine to prevent arcing in bearings. Maintenance and adjustments Check for loose or badly worn bolts.
Lubrication Machine has 9 points to lubricate with grease every 15 hours of operating time. Use high grade lubricant. Rotor bearings (2 lubrication points, see Figure 4.1) P.T.O. universal joints and telescoping shaft (3 lubrication points, see Figure 4.2) Main frame pivot bushings (2 lubrication points, see Figure 4.3) Swivel wheel pivot (2 lubrication points, see Figure 4.4) CAUTION: Always shut off machine before adjusting or lubricating.
Clean all mud, dirt, grease and other foreign material from the exterior of the machine. Cut all twine off the rotor. Wash the entire machine. If washing the 2100 BALEBUSTER with a high-pressure washer, keep the nozzle away from the sealed bearings. Repaint places where bare metal is exposed.
Appendix A: WARRANTY DuraTech Industries International Inc. warrants to the original purchaser for one year from purchase date that this product will be free from defects in material and workmanship when used as intended and under normal maintenance and operating conditions. This warranty is limited to the replacement of any defective part or parts returned to our factory in Jamestown, N.D., within thirty (30) days of failure.
