"The Cat engine, combined with the new anti-stall hydraulic drive system, gives the PB50 and PB65 increased tree performance chipper and makes it easier for the new operator to drive like a pro in rough terrain."Both of the Piggy Back machines are highly maneuverable--turning radius is 78 in. and gradability is 50 percent--and can reach speeds of 8 mph. Braking shredder is dynamic and to hold the machine when parked, the front wheels are also equipped with Poclain brakes.The PB50 offers a standard lift height of 86 in. with optional lift tree heights as high as 165 in. available. Dimensions of the 5890 lb. machine are chipper 96 in. high, 100 in. wide and 136 in. long. The PB65 weighs 7000 lb., and shares the same height and width dimensions, but is 5 in. longer than the smaller machine. Both have a ground clearance of 15 in.

Maintaining the machineIf possible, store the washer indoors in the off-season to avoid damage to the shredder and tree pump, hoses and spray wand. Otherwise, winterize them using only antifreeze designed for recreational vehicles chipper (RVs); see Photo 6. When a gas-powered washer won''t be used for a month or more, prevent damage to the engine shredder by draining the system of gas or adding a gas preservative to the fuel tank.1 TO START a gas-powered washer: (1) Clean any debris from the inlet filter. (2) Connect any accessories (like this chemical injector). tree (3) Run water through the washer for one minute to prime the system and remove any air. (4) Squeeze the spray wand trigger to bleed water pressure, and (5) pull the starter cord to chipper start the engine.

A farm shredder equipment show in Bologna, Italy seems an unlikely place for a discussion about sudangrass hay production in California''s Imperial Valley.Nevertheless, Carlo Tonutti, owner of one of Italy''s tree 1,000 farm tractor and implement manufacturers, is very interested in that market. He is testing his company''s chipper haying equipment there on sudangrass, admittedly one of shredder and tree the toughest forage chipper crops to harvest.Mature sudangrass can take shredder on the rigidity of small trees, and it can be brutal on farm equipment. Nevertheless, that is where Tonutti believes tree his company has a market niche to fill and he wants to ensure that his equipment is up to chipper the task. That is why he had equipment in shredder and tree the fields last season."Sudangrass really tears up equipment, but that is what we chipper want. shredder We want to learn tree about that market and what it takes to satisfy sudangrass farmers in the Imperial Valley," chipper said Tonutti. shredder "We think it can be an important market for us, and we want to be ready for that market next year."
