wide, one of the biggest
shredders on the market,
and will cover eight 30-inch
rows or six 40-inch rows with
room to spare. The tear-drop

bine to provide top per
formance with up to 20 per
cent less power than most
other shredders, say Brady
engineers.
The new shredder is
designed for tractors up to
200 PTO HP.
Free swinging cup or side
sheer knives are standard
equipment, made of super
ahoy steel. All super ahoy
flail knives on Brady
shredders are guaranteed
against breakage for the life
of the flail knife.
The shredder’s rear lift
design keeps the drive line
straight to reduce drive
shaft strain, giving more
efficient power transmission
to the gearbox.

end transport and a tongue
jack are standard equip
ment, as are premium V
belts that are easily adjusted
with a spring tightener.
