2023 Loftness Center Discharge 240
Windrower 15/20 Center Discharge ShredderThe Windrowing Shredder is the latest example of Loftness turning challenge into opportunity. Unpredictable markets and the demand for bio-mass are turning crop residue into a profit center. Combining a unique tunnel design with our exclusive hard-surface cupped knives, the Windrow Shredder produces the optimal particle size for baling corn fodder and other kinds of residue. The exclusive Loftness tunnel and shroud design maximizes airflow that discharges a cleaner windrow than traditional rake implements.
Features may include:
AG-PRO GRADE CONSTRUCTION- The windrowers feature heavy-duty design, engineering and construction throughout.
PTO- 1 3/8-inch or 1 3/4-inch 1,000 RPM power takeoff. Includes over-running clutch and constant velocity knuckle.
GEARBOX- A standard feature on all Loftness shredder equipment, this field-proven and extremely reliable gearbox is rated at 280 HP. The Windrower is equipped with a 1,450 RPM gearbox.
KNIVES- Windrow shredders are equipped with a reduced number of 4-1/2-inch-wide hard-surface cupped knives. The Windrower's 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. The Windrower is the perfect preparation tool for baling corn fodder and other kinds of residue.
BELT SYSTEM- Efficient transfer of power via a four-groove banded belt and spring loaded push-type idler system.
MOUNTING- The Loftness Windrower is available with a pull-type hitch only.
CHOP DIFFUSER- The grate-like diffuser deflects and directs the final chopped residue toward the ground. Combined with the rear shields, this system creates cleaner rows than those made by rakes.
FULL-LENGTH REAR SHIELDS- This unique design from Loftness allows high-speed air and particles to flow freely to the diffuser. They can also be operated in a retracted position for non-windrowing operations.
REAR LIFT- Provides precise height adjustment for fine-tuning performance and chop. Rear lifting choices include three ratchets or three hydraulic lift units.
REAR TIRES AND WHEELS- Configuration for the Windrower include a 20-foot four-wheel or 15-foot three-wheel setup.
