The 2665 Shortcut Balebuster has all of the features of the 2660 Balebuster, including right hand discharge, chain and slat conveyor table that continuously rotates the bale while the heavy-duty rotor and hammers process the material.
The 2665 Shortcut Balebuster also comes with more hammers, more stripper kits, and more slug bars giving you additional cutting and ultimately a shorter product.
More hammers allow for more cutting edge, more slug bars control the flow of material to the rotor along with the stripper kits which hold up the flow allowing more hammer cutting. The Haybuster Balebuster also has increased rotor speed, through the chain case. The chain case reverses the rotor direction for right side discharge and gives you 30% more rotor speed.
Standard Features
- Heavy-duty chain conveyor with more durable chain and heavier drive shafts.
- Rotor is driven through the chain case, which reverses the direction of the rotor for right side discharge and also increases the rotor speed by 30%.

- Heavy-duty tubular frame construction designed to carry heavy bales.
- Rotor access door gives you easy access to rotor for service and maintenance.
