Our 1155 tub grinder is used in beef lots, dairy farms and on ranches all over the world.
They take rounds and big squares and grind them through a variation of screen sizes to get you the product or nutrition you want.
Standard Features
- The Truck Mounted Big Bite 1150 is easy to transport between jobs and is easy to maneuver into tight spots. Because the unit is mounted over the trucks rear axles, there is traction to get through the sloppiest farm and hay yards.
- The exclusive, innovative self-cleaning rotary screen protects the radiator and engine air intake from chaff and fines. That means no more plugged radiators, so there’s less down time.
- The KPT Fluid coupler transmits power with up to 98% efficiency and eliminates the mechanical clutch. It’s goof proof, can engage or disengage at full engine rpm without damage and requires minimal maintenance.
- The 30 inch x 26 ft. discharge conveyor piles hay over 18 feet high. The conveyor can articulate left to right up to 50 degrees which means you can not only make the pile big, you can make it wide too.
