11.8 Discharging Square Bales

 

Gradually  increase  bed  chain  speed  by  means  of  the 
speed  control  until  shredding  commences.  It  is  then 
advisable to increase bed chain speed to a point at which 
the  slices  of  the  bale  being  shredded  are  forced  up  and 
over  the material coming forward.   This rotational motion 
is represented in Figure 6.

 

Where  a  bale  lift  is  fitted  to  a  Tomahawk  1010,  release 
the portion of the bale retained by the bale lift only when 
the  first  portion  has  been  discharged  which  is  usually 
indicated by a large fall in discharge rate.

 

Once  the  material  in  the  bale  chamber  has  been 
discharged  the  tailgate  can  be  lifted  to  allow  a  portion  of 
rear  half  of  the  bale  to  be  loaded  into  the  chamber  thus 
allowing  room  for  the  material  in  the  bale  chamber  to 
rotate.

 

With a Tomahawk  1010  it  will  be found  advantageous to 
only allow half of the second bale to enter the chamber at 
a time thus allowing room for each half to rotate.

 

Typically  the  rate  of  discharge  may  be  controlled  by  bed 
chain  speed  but  only  once  rotation  of  the  material  within 
the body of the machine has been achieved.

11.8 Discharging Round Bales

 

Gradually  increase  bed  chain  speed  by  means  of  the 
speed  control  until  discharge  commences.  Good 
performance  will  only  be  achieved  by  getting  the  bale  to 
rotate within the chamber as shown in Figure 7.

 

Increasing  the  speed  of  the  bed  chain  will  increase  the 
rate of discharge until a maximum rate is achieved. If the 
bed chain speed is too great, material will unroll from the 
bale at a rate greater than can be discharged. This will be 
indicated by a build up of material above the crossbeater 
bale restraint.

11.9 Discharging Clamp Silage

 

Increase bed chain speed until the desired discharge rate 
is  achieved.  Once  the  forward  portion  of  the  load  has 
been  discharged,  the  tailgate  can  be  lifted  to  ensure  a 
continuous feed rate.

 

11.10 General Discharging Instructions

 

If  a  large  amount  of  loose  material  builds  up  above  the 
bale  restraint    it  may  be  necessary  to  reverse  the  bed 
chain  until  the  loose  material  falls  down  behind  the 
crossbeater(s) before recommencing discharge.

 

When it is necessary to stop shredding part way through a 
bale,  always  stop  the  bed  chain  rotation  and  put  it  in 
reverse  for  a  few  seconds  before  stopping  the  rotor  and 
crossbeater(s).    This  allows  the  material  in  the  area 
around  the  crossbeater(s)  and  rotor  to  be  blown  clear  of 
the machine.  Failure to  do this may result  in  a blockage 
when the machine is re

-

started.

 

The  length  of  chop,  evenness  of  feed  and  power 
consumption  will  vary  with  the  condition  of  the  bale.  In 
general, baled silage and damp or caked straw materials 
will require a higher power input than dry brittle materials.

 

Should  the  rotor  or  crossbeater(s)  become  blocked, 
indicated by either slipping of the PTO clutch or failure of 
the crossbeater(s) shear bolt, it may be necessary to turn 
the  rotor  backwards.    This  may  be  achieved  by  levering 
the  rotor  paddles  with  a  post  through  the  outlet  chute.  
Further access may be gained by removing the blockage 
panels  from  the  front  of  the  upper  and  lower  rotor 
housing.

 

CAUTION. 

DUAL  CHOP:  Always  fully  raise  the 

blade  carrier  and  lock  it  in  position  with  pins  before 

attempting  to  remove  blocked  material  from  the 
crossbeater.
