an hour, blows it over 100 feet high
Instead of the usual 90° turn that momentarily stops
the crop and reduces blowing capacity, the No. 56
Blower has a 45° feeding angle. (See small illustra
tion.) Corn silage or haylage is augered in a more
straight-line direction, so the flow is uniform, and the
chopped forages move much faster. Then an exclu
sive 56-mch rotor and six wide paddles shoot the si
lage upward with a tip speed of 90 miles an hour, at
540 rpm, with a direct pto drive.
The hopper extends 20 inches from the housing for
easy drive-through clearance Stop in and let us esti
mate how much the McCormick International No. 56
Blower can speed up your operation.
