Steel rotor bearings for increased bearing life
Rotor bearings
The rotor bearings are now made of steel and have a three-lip seal to keep the dirt out and increase the life of the bearings.
The side and center bearings now have guards in order to avoid leaks and dust, increasing the life of the bearings.
Drawn tractor hookup
The 100 Series Flail Shredder is available with a drawn tractor hookup.
Heavy-duty John Deere-designed gearbox
Gearbox
A heavy-duty gearbox transfers power to the power-band drive belts through cross shafts with intermediate bearing supports:
- Gearbox has a constant-duty rating of 150 hp and a maximum rating of 225 hp.
Rubber deflectors will not dent or rust
Rubber deflectors
Front rubber deflectors keep debris and other materials under the shredder and away from the tractor and operator. Because they are made out of rubber, they will not dent or rust.
