GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPLETE FEED RATION 651 (CFR 651)
The Complete Feed Ration 651 (CFR 651) is a machine to process round bales of hay or other
animal feed materials. When the CFR 651 is engaged, it uses power from the tractor PTO to
rotate a flail drum. The flails strike the round bale and process it into feed size materials or
animal bedding sized materials. The bale is rotated against the flails by a feeder chain.
The Complete Feed Ration (CFR 651) has forks on the rear of the machine that allow the CFR
651 to pick up and self-load a round bale into the processing tub. An additional bale may be
carried on the forks while the bale in the tub is being processed.
The amount of processing and chopping of material in the processing tub is adjusted by setting
the height of the guard rods. The height of the guard rods determine the level of aggression of
the flails acting on the round bale. The round bale is rotated by a feeder chain while the flail
drum turns to process the material. The rotation of the bale assists in the bale being processed
in an even manner.
The processed material is discharged from the CFR 651 on the right side of the machine. The
height and distance of discharge is adjusted by moving the lower discharge door. A top
discharge deflector door allows the processed material to be laid down into a feed bunk,
windrow or spread to different distances.
The Complete Feed Ration 651 has the option of adding a Feed Chopper for additional
processing of the feed materials. There is also the option of adding a Grain Tank to add feed
grains in a measured amount to the feed mix to achieve the feed ration needed for the animals.
The operator of the CFR 651 is located in the tractor cab to control the speed of driving and the
speed of operation of the CFR 651.
INTENDED USE OF THE COMPLETE FEED RATION 651 (CFR 651)
- The CFR 651 is designed to process animal feed and bedding materials from a
round bale.
- The CFR 651 is intended for use in farming applications.
- The CFR 651 is intended for off road use only.
- The CFR 651 is intended for use in locations away from people who could be
harmed by the discharged materials.
Any uses of the CFR 651 other than the above stated Intended Uses shall be considered
misuse of the CFR 651. This misuse shall include (but not limited to):
- Using the CFR 651 in non-farming applications
- Using the CFR 651 on public roads
- Using the CFR 651 around people or in public places
- Processing materials other than animal feed materials
Always use the CFR 651 according to the instructions contained in this Operator's Manual and
the safety and instruction decals on the machine.
Perform regular maintenance and repair to ensure that the CFR 651 operates safely and
efficiently.
