PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS

The Woods Flail Shredder consists of a large rotating tube with swinging steel flails attached. The flails pick up or strike crop residue or trash and shred it. Rota- tional power to the drum is provided by the tractor PTO through a gearbox in the center of the machine.

For removing the center strip of crop residue, an optional hydraulically driven blade can be installed under the cover in the center of the machine.

The flail shredder is designed to be used as a semi- mounted, or 3-point mounted machine.
