The mounting system of the knives allows them to swing back when they hit stones or other obstacles and to automatically return to their normal position without interrupting the chopping operation.
Discharge spout can be adjusted from the tractor seat
The material deflector has independent movement from the rotation lever and is adjustable for different positions.
The spout mechanism is heat-treated, which ensures a longer life of its components. The spout rotation is done through a lever, within reach of the operator from the tractor.
A steel wear sleeve (attachment) extends the life of the spout.
