Swing-Away Chaff Spreader
 ✖  |
"Our new swing-away chaff spreader makes it easy to switch from leaving chaff in a wind-row to spreading it out over the field. It also gives you easy access to adjust or clean the sieves," says Jay Russell, Abilene Machine, Abilene, Kan.
The hydraulic-driven chaff spreader mounts on a steel swing arm that pins onto a bolt-on mounting bracket on the combine's rear axle. The mounting bracket has a series of holes in it, making the spreader position infinitely adjustable.
The operator changes the position of the spreader by pulling a pin and swinging the mounting arm over, then reinserting the pin into a different hole. The spreader is equipped with a pair of stainless steel deflector shields that direct chaff evenly out to both sides. A pair of safety rings at the bottom of the spreader prevent accidental contact with the spreader's rotating bats.
"It's a simple design that doesn't use any belts or pulleys and needs no greasing, " says Russell.
Sells for about $1,050 plus S&H. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Abilene Machine, Box 129, Abilene, Kan. 67410 (ph 785 655-9455 or 800 332ù0239; fax 785 655-3838).
