Badger Basket 2060 Operator's Manual - Introduction
15
This Forage Blower is a heavy-duty, high capacity
machine which blows all types of forage with equal
ease, haylage, light hay, silage or grain are all
blown with a minimum of plugging or spillage. The
auger, formed paddles and the air regulator door
ensure a smooth material flow from the hopper
through the pipe.
This Forage Blower was designed to utilize the
power of larger tractors for much faster blowing
rates and filling center-fill soils. All types of material
are blown up a 9" pipe in a smooth continuous flow.
This Forage Blower has many time and effort saving
features. Maintenance is held to an absolute mini-
mum. Operation requires attention to only one lever
on the Forage Blower, the tractor power take-off
lever and the controls on self-unloading box or
conveyor. One man can handle large loads in short
periods of time.
Re-lube fan shaft bearings are used to ensure long
life and safety is assured, with safety shields at
points which might be hazardous.
A complete line of accessories and attachments are
available for the Forage Blower from your local
Dealer.
