WHAT'S NEW
BIGGER KIDD
BALE CHOPPER
Kidd Farm Machinery, the UK's
leading manufacturer of bale chopping
equipment, has added to its family of
bale choppers with the larger Big Bale
Chopper 7-16.
This fully trailed machine has a 7 ft.
diameter tub capable of handling full-
size and misshapen bales or up to 16
conventional bales with equal ease.
The tub is hydraulically driven by
tractor spool valves, the final drive is
driven by a roller chain, and tub speed
and operation is easily controlled from
the tractor seat.
To ensure low start-up torque, fine
control of discharge times, and chop
length, Kidd has patented a hydrauli-
cally operated centre -lift disc as an inte-
gral part of the chopping rotor. After the
bale is loaded the centre disc is raised,
lifting the bale clear of the rotor.
The rotor drive can then be easily
engaged and run up to the operational
speed before the bale is gently lowered
onto the knives. The hydraulically driv-
en tub co -rotates the bale over the chop-
ping rotor.
The 7-16 has three discharge ports,
one to either side and a third to the rear.
One, two, or all three ports may be used
with tractor seat rope control of the two
side ports.
By increasing the PTO input speed
from 540 rpm to 1,000 rpm, the ma-
chine's cutting rotor performs a dual
function, chopping and blowing.
By affixing a plastic flexible hose to
the rear discharge port the machine is
capable of blowing material through 50
ft. of hose. Alternatively, the com-
pany's Kobra high discharge kit can be
fitted for filling mixer feeders, etc.
Where a particularly short chop is
required, a quick -fit short chop is of-
fered.

ment, contact distributor Robert H.
