Introduction
Congratulations, you have just purchased the new and
improved AgLand Macerator 6610. To get the maximum
benefi t from your Macerator we suggest that you read the
Operator’s Manual carefully.
The Macerator is designed to condition the hay for a super
fast dry down while maintaining the maximum amount of
nutrients and color. The Macerator utilizes special steel
rolls, each running at a different speed allowing for a mea-
sured nicking of the stem for greater air exposure. The low
profi le, heavy duty pickup allows for rapid operation with
minimal leaf loss.
The roll system of the Macerator is designed to allow for the
right amount of maceration without cutting up the hay.
These operating and maintenance instructions have been
compiled from extensive fi eld experience and engineering
data. Some information is general in nature due to un-
known and varying conditions. However, through experi-
ence and these instructions, you will be able to develop
operating procedures suitable to your particular situation.
Please study this manual from the beginning to end BE-
FORE operating your new Macerator 6610. Pay special
attention to the Safety section in this manual and the
safety cautions on your equipment. Should anyone else
operate this equipment be sure that they understand
ALL safety, operating, and maintenance information pre-
sented in this manual.
The terms ‘right’ and ‘left’, as used throughout this manu-
al, are determined by facing the direction the machine will
travel when in use.
The photographs, illustrations, and data used in this man-
ual were current at the time of printing, but due to pos-
sible inline production changes, your machine can vary
slightly in detail. The Manufacturer reserves the right to
redesign and change the machine as necessary without
notifi cation.
WARNING
Some pictures in this manual show the machine with
shields removed to allow for a better view of the sub-
ject. The machine must never be operated with any of
the shields removed.

must be placed on the rear of the ma-
chine and be visible to traffi c approaching
the machine from the rear while traveling
on public roads. Keep the SMV emblem
clean and replace when damaged or emblem materials
have faded. The SMV should only be displayed on the ma-
chine at road speeds less than 40 km/hr (25 MPH).
Safety
▪ The operator is responsible for complying with all
local regulations regarding transporting agricultural
equipment on public roads.
▪ Ensure all lights and refl ectors, as required by local
law, are in place, intact, and clean before transport-
ing machine on public roads.
▪ Connect electrical socket on machine wiring har-
ness to tractor receptacle.
▪ Ensure SMV emblem is clean and properly displayed,
where required by law, before transporting machine
on public roads.

Operating Safety
▪ Ensure that all components in the hydraulic system
are kept in good condition.
▪ Replace any worn, cut, abraded, fl attened, or
crimped hoses and/or metal lines.
▪ Do not attempt any poorly executed repairs to hy-
draulic lines, fi ttings, or hoses by using tape, clamps,
or cements. The hydraulic system operates under
extremely high pressure: 11,033 to 15,859 kPa
(1600 to 2300 PSI). Such repair will fail suddenly
and create unsafe conditions.
▪ Wear proper hand and face protection (e.g. face
shield) when searching for a high pressure hydraulic
leak. Use a piece of wood or cardboard as a back-
drop instead of hands. A high pressure concentrated
stream of hydraulic fl uid can pierce the skin. If such
happens, seek immediate medical attention as in-
fection and toxic reaction could develop.
▪ Before applying hydraulic pressure to the system,
make sure all connections are tight and that lines,
hoses, and couplings are not damaged.
Think Safety,
Work Safely!
▪ REVIEW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS with all opera-
tors before allowing them to operate the equipment.
Review instructions at least once each year.
▪ All shields and guards must be intact and in po-
sition and securely fastened before operating the
Macerator.
▪ Only use a tractor equipped with ROPS cab and seat
belt. Be careful when operating close to a road or
building, the machine can throw stones and other
objects during operation.
▪ Emphasize the importance of safety when working
around and operating the machine.
▪ Do NOT allow riders on any part of the equipment at
any time.
▪ Always keep hands, feet, and clothing away from
moving parts.
▪ Always lower the Macerator to the ground when
parking.
▪ Use transport lock pin and retainer to secure the
lift linkage of the Macerator before transporting
equipment.
▪ Use safety tow chain at all times.
▪ NEVER attempt to unplug the machine when the trac-
tor is running and hydraulic system is pressurized.
▪ Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from the pickup
area when in operation to avoid entanglement haz-
ards. Do not open or remove shields or guards while
machine is running.
▪ Relieve all pressure from hydraulic lines before dis-
connecting them. Before applying pressure to the
system, make sure all connections are tight and
that hoses and lines have not been damaged.
Hydraulic
Safety
▪ Make sure all hoses and bellows are kept in good
condition and are clean.
▪ Replace any damaged lines or bellows.
▪ Do not exceed 827 kPa (120 PSI) air pressure in
tank and 689 kPa (100 PSI) in air bags.

1. Raise the Macerator using the hydraulics.
2. Turn crank (A) clockwise to widen the gap or counter-
clockwise to narrow the gap. 1 turn = .04” (1 mm).
For a better fi ne tune, adjust bolt (D).
3. Be sure to set the gap exactly the same on both
sides, use gauge.
4. Put crank lock (B) in place and secure with pin (C).
5. To assure that the rolls do not touch, the safety stop
is set by the factory at 1/32” or .8 mm.
6. If safety stop (E) needs adjusting put travel pin (F) in
place while unit is raised.
7. Adjust the safety stop bolt (E) as needed. Be sure the
rolls don’t touch during operation.
8. Repeat steps 1–7 to fi ne tune if necessary.
Field Setup
A
Use with a tractor having a minimum of 80 HP (60 KW).
Tractor should have suffi cient ground clearance for
swath to pass cleanly under it.
PTO Speed
Unless otherwise specifi ed, units are shipped with 1000
PTO speed. Units with 540 RPM PTO are also available,
contact dealer.
The PTO should be run at approximately 1000 RPM. The
front rubber rolls run at 645 RPM and the bottom steel
roll runs at 1514 RPM at a tractor PTO speed of 1000.
The upper steel roll runs at 1372 RPM at 1000 tractor
PTO speed.
Pickup
Height & Adjustment
The Macerator 6610 pickup should be adjusted so that
it will cleanly pick up all material off of the fi eld without
gouging the soil. You may have to reset the height a few
times to arrive at the best working height.
1. If your pickup is too low to the ground use your trac-
tor hydraulic cylinder control to raise the pickup.
2. Remove pin (A) and slide adjuster bar (B) to desired
height. Pushing bar in raises machine and pulling
the bar out lowers the machine.
3. Reinsert pin and lock in place.
Gap Gap

A
Steel Roll Adjustment
For best results adjust the Macerator 6610 for your specif-
ic fi eld conditions. The smaller the gap between the steel
serrated rolls the more aggressive will be the maceration
of the hay. Both the space between the rolls and the air
pressure need to be adjusted for maximum effi ciency.

Field Setup
Preparation (Air System)
The purpose of the air system on the Mac-
erator 6610 is to keep continuous pres-
sure on the rolls.
The pressure can make a difference on
how well the machine performs on the
fi eld. While the pressure on the rubber rolls may not be
as crucial, too much pressure on the steel rolls will result
in considerable leaf loss and some plugging may result in
short wet hay.
Before heading out to t
he fi eld, make sure the air pres-
sure tank has a minimum of 100 PS
I pressure
. This sho
uld
give the operator suffi cient
air supply for the day.
Rubber Roll Pressure Adjustment
The rubber rolls are designed to take the
material from the pickup and feed it into
the steel rolls. The rubber rolls do not crush
or crimp the hay.
As a standard setting, we recommend 20–
30 PSI pressure on the rubber rolls. Regulate the pressure
by pulling out the knob on the regulator marked ‘rubber
rolls’ and turning it clockwise or counter-clockwise. When
turning the knob counter-clockwise you should hear the
air escaping from the regulator.
In extreme conditions, increase or decrease the pressure.
For example, very heavy swaths may require more pres-
sure.
Steel Roll Pressure Adjustment
The steel serrated rolls (rear) take the ma-
terial from the rubber rolls and crack the
stems. To achieve the right setting, some
fi eld testing may be necessary.
1. Pull out the knob on the air regulator
marked ‘steel rolls’ and turn the knob clockwise or
counter-clockwise to set the pressure to the steel
rolls at approximately 5-35 PSI in alfalfa, 40–80 in
grasses
2. If you experience too much leaf loss or the plants are
crushed too intensely, lower the air pressure.
3. If there is not enough maceration, increase pressure
to the rolls by increasing the air pressure. Make sure
the gap is adjusted (see page 12).
