  • Page 68: Auger Speeds And Drive Configurations

    AUGER SPEEDS & DRIVE CONFIGURATIONS SINGLE AUGER MACHINES Most single auger machines (9m -15m ), are specified with a single speed drive system, this provides an auger speed of 25.6 rpm, when the PTO shaft speed of the tractor is at 540 rpm. This speed is ideal for the majority of mixing and chopping situations.
  • Page 69 TWIN AUGER MACHINES All twin auger machines (16m -22m ), are specified with 2-speed drives. With this, 4 auger speeds are available: The 20 or 20.5 rpm auger speeds are suitable for the majority of mixing and chopping situations. Preferably run the tractor at 1000 rpm tractor PTO (20.5rpm auger speed) where possible, as this will decrease the torque seen at the PTO.

  • Page 70: Operating The 2-Speed Gearbox

    OPERATING THE 2-SPEED GEARBOX Refer to section 2.7 – Accident prevention when operating the machine, for safety procedures. In order to change the gear it is necessary to stop the PTO shaft of the tractor.
