The Haybuster PTO Tub Grinder line is made up of three sizes of grinders plus the option of an electric motor.
The Haybuster Model H-1000 tub grinder is the most economical grinder available. Designed for the small rancher who still needs to get the hay ground. Fifty to 100 head cattle ranchers have learned to appreciate the ability and price of the H-1000. Of course, to make the H-1000 affordable for the smaller rancher, it’s limited on certain features compared to other Haybuster models. The limited features include no tub tilt and a lighter-duty hammermill. This hammermill only requires an 80 hp PTO tractor and ideally a 125 hp tractor for its maximum efficiency. If your herd size and tractor size fit these criteria, this may be the tub grinder for you.
Features may include:18” Wide by 20’ Long Hydraulic Folding ConveyorThe model H-1000 tub grinder is now equipped with a hydraulic folding conveyor. The 20’ long x 18” wide conveyor allows you to stack ground material up to 13’9” high at a 40 degree angle.
Big Bite HammermillThe hammermill is constructed of 3/16” thick x 15.75” diameter plates with 15/16” case hardened rods that hold 64-3/8” hammers. These hammers have 4 hardened edges that can be rotated and flipped to get many hours of grinding.
Eight Belt Drive SystemThe 8-groove belt drive system is dependable. It supplies the power from the PTO of the tractor to the hammermill. This drive system turns the mill at approximately 2 x PTO speed. This mill speed provides for smooth feeding and delivers high capacity grinding performance.
