Mobile chaff-cutter

摘要

A mobile, self-propelled chaff-production means in which windrowed hay is picked up and conveyed to a chaff-cutter via a covered conveyor. As the hay moves along the conveyor it is moistened by steam applied to it through jets located beneath the input region of the conveyor so that when the hay reaches the chaff-cutter it is moist enough not to be fractured on impact of the blades and cutter bar. The resulting chaff is then conveyed by an auger to a twin-column screw bagger as a final, saleable product.
