| I got a short tub 760. I run my depth of cut with the hood all the way up, and have the hammer plates out more to make up for it, seems the going up and over the hood and hammers helps to keep things moving as it jars the bale around a bit, depending on what I am grinding I got my tub running a tad faster, but the governor control on mine doesn't work the best as its the old style, I don't put enough through it to upgrade it to the new style so I am limited there on how fast I can turn it, I know it would definitely speed things up if it functioned right. Often wondered if Burrows ever thought about making bigger grabbers to bolt on the tub to help, I think it would, but in my case with the short tub that wouldn't be a option. I agree with the other poster, don't drop them in on end. My short tub has a attachment in it that extends into the tub out of box tubing, they tried it for a time to help with exactly this issue, I talked to them(owner actually) after I bought it used and he said to take it out as it didn't help much, we tried that and thought it did more good, put it back in and drop bales in now once the mounting bolts for it pass the skidsteer, the bales sorta go in at a 45 then and don't have as much feeding issues, although every now and then there is a stubborn one. I know grinding dry stalks and dry grass hay it will take them about as fast as you can fetch them from the pile and put them in.
I often wondered if changing to something else might be better, but they sold a few Farmhand tub grinders around here years ago, and guys told me they didn't work either if things weren't bone dry, I know we have ground some absolute junk with this one and had no trouble. So for what you can buy them for, I will stay with it, they are definitely simple. | |
