New Hay Conditioning Replacement Rollers
“Our rollers are 100 percent rubber contact rollers that go together like two rubber roller gears. They are balanced and trued to 1,000+ rpm’s and they have no vibration, which saves on bearings and machine wear and tear.
“Using the machine’s existing tension system, the unique roller design can be used on any style machine,” says Dan Ostrander owner of B&D Rollers, Glenwood, Minn., the only aftermarket supplier of new hay conditioner replacement rollers.
“The unique roller design allows producers to cut and chop forage the same day, and get the crop down to 16 percent moisture for next-day baling. The stem is completely compressed and opened up for drier, softer, more palatable hay, leaving the leaves on for greater nutritional value as well as adding more tonnage per bale.” says Ostrander.
The quicker dry-down time has been proven in side-by-side comparison tests with CNH, New Holland, Kuhn, Hesston, Deere, MacDon, AGCO Massey Double and Pottinger conditioners. “Our rollers won’t plug, so you don’t have to get off the machine and waste time. The rollers are self-cleaning in most cases. The thick rubber design provides a cushion for rocks and other debris to easily pass through without damage to the steel core. Further, the juices of the product are not permitted to seep into the layer between the rubber and steel core, thus avoiding bond failure.”
The rollers last more than 3,600 hrs. and give the same performance throughout the entire life of the rolls. Rollers are fully guaranteed for 1 year.
