Model description and area of use
The TKS CombiCutter has been designed to shred/ cut silage, round bales, square bales and most
types of forage.
The machine can be delivered as a stationary machine (placed over a feed hatch or on its own
stand).
It can also be supplied as a cart that runs along the fl oor or for mounting on ceiling rails.
These versions have two speeds.
The CombiCutter has a 750 mm diameter drum. It also has a rotating conveyor belt. The machine
is supplied with a standard knife-set:
1600 = 62 knifes
1200 = 24 knifes
The K2 CombiCutter shreds/ cuts most types of round bales and silage, with the size it cuts to
being dependent on the consistency and nature of the feed.
The machine runs very silently, and due to its large drum the main engine only requires 7.5 kW of
power. The conveyor belt has its own geared engine.
The speed of the conveyor belt can be adjusted using an converter. This gives you a lot of
fl exibility. The conveyor belt can be adjusted to the correct pressure against the drum for whatever
type of feed. The machine can be equipped with optional side doors when you want to load it with
feed.
The machine’s control panel is at the front, but during operation it can be pulled out so that you can
run the machine at the same time as seeing what is happening to the feed.
NOTE!
The recommendations contained in this instruction manual are based on normal use.
Individual users may encounter situations that require a diff erent approach from the guidelines
given here. Changes to the machine and equipment as a result of such situations do not give
grounds for claims against the manufacturer or supplier.
The climate, temperature, type of grass, time at which it was cut, baling equipment and
conservation method used are some of the issues that may aff ect the functioning and performance
of the machine.
It is important to make any necessary adjustments, and to set up the machine for the relevant
conditions. This will produce the best possible results.
Extra equipment:
Cross conveyor: 0,7m (K2 1200) - 1,0m - 1,3m - 1,7m
