Congratulations on the purchase of your compost turner. Our goal is to
provide you a machine that will efficiently compost windrows quickly.
For your safety, read and understand this manual before operating your
compost turner.
2. Skid Steer Requirements
•Minimum Skid Steer lifting capacity: 1600lbs
•Minimum Skid Steer hydraulic flow: 18gpm
oRecommended hydraulic flow: 26gpm
oHigh Flow is prohibited. Using high flow hydraulics will void the
warranty.
•Hydraulic pressure: 3000psi
3. Safety
3.1. Operational Safety
•Read the Owner’s Manual before using the machine
•Keep clothing and body parts away from all moving parts while machine is
moving
•Stay clear of machine while it’s operating, debris can be thrown
considerable distances from the rotor
•Do not ride on the machine
•Watch out for pinch points from moving parts
•Familiarize yourself with all aspects of machine before operating

•Check that all paddles are bolted down properly and replace bent/broken
ones before operating machine. Broken paddles can fly off rotor at high
speeds and cause serious injury
•Wear proper hand, eye, and ear protection while operating and working on
machine
•Make sure all guards are in place before using machine
•Be aware of your surroundings. It can be difficult to see opposite side of the
machine during operation. Make sure you have adequate room for
maneuvering and operation
3.2. Maintenance Safety
•Before working on machine, make sure the machine is lowered to the
ground, the skid steer is shut off, and all moving parts have stopped.
•Relieve all hydraulic pressure before working on hydraulic system, contents
under HIGH PRESSURE
•Make sure the support tire is torqued properly and is filled to the
appropriate air pressure
•Regularly check all hydraulics and lines for leaks and fix or replace as
needed

4. Maintenance
4.1. Daily Maintenance
•Grease each Rotor bearing (3x)
•Lubricate chain every day of use
•Inspect drum paddles every day of use. Torque any loose paddles
(80 ft/lbs). Replace any bent, missing, or overly worn paddles
(paddle is considered worn if overall height is shorter than 7”).
•Inspect hydraulic motor and lines to ensure nothing is broken or
leaking.
•Remove all material wrapped around drum before starting.
4.2. Monthly Maintenance
•Torque lug nuts on the support tire after the first 5 hours of use.
Check torque monthly. (80 ft/lbs on support tire)
•Check tire pressure.
•Check/reset the tension in the roller chain.
•Check for proper alignment of sprockets
4.3. Yearly Maintenance
•Examine roller chain for stretch and replace as necessary
•Re-pack wheel bearing with grease

5. Operation Instructions
5.1. Written Instructions
Approach the compost windrow with the windrow centered in the
working area of the Trner®. Before starting in the row, engage the
hydraulics to allow the rotor to spin at a low RPM. With the rotor
spinning backwards, ease into the windrow until the rotor is completely
covered. Then increase RPM to full operating speed. (This is done to
reduce the amount of material to be thrown behind the desired start of
the windrow.) Advance through the windrow at a slow and steady speed.
Ground speed will depend on the size, moisture, and density of the
compost windrow. Fine adjustments in speed can make a significant
difference in windrow shape. Too slow of speed could produce flat
undesirable shape to the windrow. And too fast of a speed could
potentially stall out the skid steer.
When approaching the end of the windrow repeat the process on how the
windrow was started. Once approaching the end of the window slow
down the rotor to a low RPM. Then as the rotor is no longer engaged in
the compost material disengage the hydraulics to stop the rotor from
turning.
Advance to the next windrow and repeat the process as explained above.
If you have any questions on how to further process your composting
windrows, or if you have any questions regarding the operations of your
CT0800 (Patent Pending) compost turner, please feel free to give us a
call (712-476-5600) and we can help guide you with your composting
needs.
