2023 Haybuster® Tub Grinders H-1030

Features may include:

The H-1030 is equipped with a 44” (111.76 cm) long heavy duty hammermill that has been positioned to the rear of the tub. With the mill in the back, the ground product can easily be discharged and transferred to the stacking conveyor. The hammermill is constructed of 3/8” (0.95 cm) thick x 15 ¾” (40 cm) diameter plates with 1 ¼” (3.18 cm) case-hardened rods that hold 64-3/8” (0.95 cm) hammers. These hammers have four hardened edges that can be rotated and flipped to complete many hours of grinding. The mill is mounted to the frame with two 3” (7.62 cm) pillow block bearings on a 3 ½” (8.89 cm) stress-proof shaft. From tip to tip the mill has a 26” (66.04 cm) swing diameter.

The 8 multiple belt drive systems has been designed to handle increased horsepower and rotor speed. The spring tension belt drive system allows for constant belt tension while belts stretch and wear without having to manually adjust. Access door allows for tension adjustments or drive maintenance.

The heavy-duty bolt-in mill grate/slug bar combination is designed to allow the operator the ability to change the number of mill grate bars and slug bars as grinding conditions change. Simply take off or add as necessary. A geyser plate can be added to prevent product from being tossed straight up and out of the tub.

The H-1030 has 12” (30.48 cm) diameter x 4’ (1.22 m) long dual augers for discharging ground product. Augers are mounted with two heavy-duty bearings located at the base of the discharge, allowing free-flowing of product to the stacking conveyor. Expansion of the discharge area allows for higher capacity and reduces possibility for plugging.

The H-1030 has a 10’ 3” (3.12 m) tub constructed of 10-gauge steel in the floor and 12-gauge steel in the tub. The tub is 44.5” (1.13 m) deep and will handle all types of bales.

On the H-1030 the tub rotation feeds the hammermill using a Wachendorf A35 with an ECU 710 Electronic Control Governor. This stabilizes engine load by adjusting the tub speed. It also controls tub direction, clockwise, stop and counter-clockwise.

The tub drive has continuous teeth around the tub and dual spring tensioners to keep the chain tight. Power is provided by a single hydraulic motor controlled by the electronic governor.

The H-1030’s tub opens a full 90 degrees for easy access to the hammermill and drive train for daily maintenance and easy screen changing.

The 21’ (6.4 m) long x 24” (60.96 cm) wide hydraulically-folding conveyor is designed for the increased capacity of a 10’ tub grinder. The conveyor folds over the top of the tub for easy transport. It is capable of stacking material up to 14’ 9” (4.5 m) high at a 40 degree angle.

Large 16.5 x 16.1, 14-ply flotation implement tires provide for easy transportation and a solid base for the H-1030.

Grain Grinding with a Haybuster PTO tub grinder has become a very popular use of our hay grinding machines. Installing a grain grinding hopper over the hammermill and changing screens will convert the H-1030 into a high-capacity grain grinder.
