silage chopping just around the
corner, your UNI dealer suggests
you check for worn parts on your
self-propelled com silage chopper
so you’re ready for the hectic
chopping season.
Many service problems result
ing from last year’s severe condi
tions may show up this season
unless they’re corrected now. In
addition, proper maintenance
extends harvester life as well as
improves chopping efficiency by
reducing downtime.
If you don’t want to perform
this important preseason mainte
nance yourself, have your UNI
dealer’s authorized service profes
sionals do it for you. Areas your
UNI dealer believes may need
attention include the following:

• Grease all points as recom

engine oil, hydraulic, coolant and
coolant filter) as specified.

problems can be attributed to cor
rosion buildup on the battery
terminals.

be sure all shields and warnings
are in place and in good condition.

in opposing pairs. Adjust knives to
gauge bar so the recommended
diameter is maintained. This is
critical if a recutler screen is used.
• Check the reversible shear bar
to make sure it has square comers.
A rounded edge tears the silage
instead of cutting it. This affects
machine capacity, quality of cut
and contributes to excessive fuel
consumption.
• Inspect flighting on the auger
between the cuttcrhead and the
blower for sharp edges or bent
areas. If flighting has sharp edges,
it is worn and should be replaced.
Bent areas can be straightened or
replaced.
• Grease all points recom
mended in operator’s manual.
• Check transmission(s) for
proper oil level.
• Inspect entire area for loose
hardware and material buildup.
All loose or worn parts should be
replaced or repaired. Remove any
built up material.

edges, cracks or checks. Replace
