Teagle releases improved Tomahawk Bale Processor
In response to worldwide demands for bigger bale processors to provide for the ever-increasing sizes of livestock units, Teagle has introduced the Tomahawk 1005 and 1010 machines.
A common chassis and blower unit forms the basis of the new models. The low-sided 1005 has a single cross beater feeding the material into the blower rotor. The high-sided 1010 model has twin cross beaters to dispense the extra depth of material with speed. The single beater fitted in the Tomahawk 1005 enables it to handle baled silage as well as bunker silage and straw. The twin beaters used in the 1010 model give enhanced output and the ability to cope easily with the extra depth of material. The Tomahawk 1010 is recommended for use with straw and bunker silage. Both models have 5-foot 6-inch-wide bale chambers. Bale capacity is three 6-by-5-foot round bales or two rectangular bales. The 1010 model, with its 5-foot 2-inch tall sides, will hold four quadrant bales. The 1005 has a capacity of 220 bushels and the 1010 can hold 280 bushels of bunker silage.
