Check the chart and count the number of wearing parts on a Brady 1050 or 750. Then compare the total with other makes. You’ll find dozens fewer on a Brady. You see, all Brady grinder-mixers have completely self-contained hydraulic systems that power the feeder and discharge augers. No need for trouble some bevel gears and sprockets. What’s more, Brady hydraulic motors are guaranteed for three full years under normal use and maintenance. But you get more than low upkeep with a Brady. You get infinitely variable hydraulic control to match your feeder auger speed to available tractor horsepower for maximum grinding efficiency. You grind more bushels per hour with less horsepower.
