Description
The bundling device is fitted as standard with a wood stop to allow one-metre lengths of
wood to be inserted evenly.
The wood is inserted as far as the upper edge of the wood stop and bound together.
The tractor's hydraulic system then ensures that the bundling device is lowered correctly.
All you then have to do is open the locking lever and the bundled wood simply rolls out!
A bundle 1 m in length will contain approx. 1 cubic metre of wood.

1. Lay the tensioning cord from the rope winch over the top of the firewood and clip it into
the ring.
2. Use the rope winch to squeeze the firewood together tightly.
3. Pull the binding cord out of the cord reel from below and push it through the winding
tube from the side you are holding.
4. Make a loop in the binding cord.
5. Attach the loop to the tab.
6. With the help of the winding tube, now wind the binding cord round the firewood three
times, starting in a downward direction.
– In order to make it easier to pass the cord round the right-hand side, the wood
stop can be folded out of the way by pulling the detent lever.
– The winding tube can be stowed at an angle on the magnets.
7. Cut the cord off in the cutter.
8. Take the loop off the tab, thread the end of the cord through the tab, tighten it and tie it
off.
Take the bundle of wood out of the device
1. Slacken the tensioning cord on the rope winch, unhook it and lay it down to the rear.
2. Release the locking lever with the lock-release cord and raise the bundling device using
the tractor's hydraulic system. The completed bundle of wood will roll out.
– The lock-release cord can also be operated from the tractor.

Transport
Transporting by three-point linkage on the tractor
▪ Attach the machine to the three-point linkage and use the tractor hydraulics to raise it.
If the tractor's rear lights are obscured, a light must be fitted to the rear of the machine (e.g.
magnetic holder, clip-on light, etc.)
Due to the weight of the machine, the tractor-machine combination can become unstable.
In order to test the overall stability, the following formula can be used to calculate the
minimum weight on the front side IF,min with a minimum front axle load of 20% of the empty
weight of the tractor:
IF

a (m) Distance between front load's centre of gravity and centre of the front
axle ***
b (m) Wheelbase of the tractor ***
c (m) Distance between centre of the rear axle and centre of the lower link

d (m) Distance between centre of the lower link balls and the machine's centre
of gravity ***
*….. see tractor operating instructions
**….. see "Technical Data" (It is vital to ensure that the weight of any additional equipment on the machine is taken into account)
***….. take measurement
Observe the road traffic regulations when driving on public highways.
Maximum transport speed: 25 km/h
When the machine is uncoupled from the tractor, it must be placed on a firm, level
surface.
