Features
Processing bales for erosion control just got a lot easier and smoother with the introduction of the Model 2574 blower-type processor.
The newly designed belt drive system drives the fan and rotor, making it a smooth, quiet operation.
The 2574 has the capability to blow mulch up to 100 feet into those hard to reach areas. With a variety of spout options, we can offer the machine that fits your needs.
4-Groove Belt Drive System
1000 RPM PTO drive through a set of 4-groove belts that drive the fan and rotor. With belts, the 2574 becomes more durable and smoother with less maintenance time.
Blower/Fan
The an in the blower as replaceable fins and shafts that can be replaced without removing the blower from the machine. The 2574 has three spout options which do the jobs of cattle feeding and bedding, and also erosion control.
Optional Additional Axle
Adding an axle minimizes the tongue weight and makes it more stable, especially when backing on a trailer. (Highway tire only.)
Bale Chamber
Complete with the 3-chain slat conveyor that has been an exclusive feature with Haybuster for many years, the 2574 is now available with 1.25” drive shafts, bearings and heavy-duty chain. The chamber is taller to accommodate today’s bigger bales. Nine slugbars hold the bale at bay from the rotor and are easily adjustable to get the end product you need.
Centering Hitch
Versatile hitch that positions machine directly behind tractor for transport and loading on trailer.
