Twin dynamically balanced beaters

Twin 27″ diameter dynamically balanced vertical augers have flights laser cut from heat treated BORON steel to improve strength and service life. Reversible hardened cutters points manufactured using BORON steel are bolted and supported along the back edge, shred products leaving a wide and even spread. Three fixed position BORON steel bottom blades per auger give wider spread widths of materials that are either fine or wet

Tandem axle with sprung suspension

Sprung tandem axles with 15/70 R18 wheel assemblies give a low loading height and a smooth ride over tough terrain

9.45” Bolt on extension sides

Bolt on 9.45″ steel extension sides

Double acting Hydraulic guillotine slurry door (End gate)

An extremely strong design and construction ensures that the door can be used as a grading device for light applications of materials as well as a device for retaining very running products

Full width floor slats

Full width floor slats clear the entire floor area, eliminating the possibility of bridging, a problem sometimes encountered with multi chain and slat floor systems. The “socket fit” design allows for easy maintenance which can be carried out in the field, it also allows the chain to pull straight should a slat become bent

Floor chains – 5/8″

5/8, grade 80, heavy duty chains are drawn by high tensile sprockets, which are fitted to the front shaft as well as the driven rear shaft, ensuring perfect alignment and timing of the chains. Each chain has a 32 tonne breaking strain certificate. The same specification chain is used throughout the Mk4 range

One piece gearbox – Farmstar

The robust one piece SRT 8 gearbox is fitted to both the Lowlander 60 and 80. The precision machined castings house heat treated components which are kept perfectly aligned. Internal gear-sets are unique to Bunning and ensure that auger speeds are optimised to achieve excellent spread patterns

Floor drive gearbox

The 350 series floor drive gearbox is hydraulically driven to ensure an even feed of material to the spreading mechanism at all times. With a reverse feature, any foreign object too large to pass through the beaters can be easily removed. An adjustable cross-line relief valve also delivers additional protection

Rubber cushion drive coupling

Green Auger With Blades And Drive Coupling

Especially developed to reduce shock loads to the auger drive gearbox, the rubber cushion arrangement located between the output shaft of the auger gearbox and the base of the auger contributes to the reliability and longevity of the machine

Lift off augers – Farmstar

To enable the machine to be used for other jobs the auger assembly can be removed for the faster unloading of products such as grass, maize silage and even grain

Drop down covers for deck cleaning

To help clean out the deck area around the bottom of the augers these covers can be opened to allow material and water to flow out

Wide angle PTO assembly

The wide angle joint allows for turning on headlands with the PTO still engaged. It should be noted that the manufacturers recommend that you do not turn with the PTO under load

Floor chain tensioning

A robust, simple and reliable floor tensioning system allows easy adjustment ensuring that chains are kept to their optimum setting. The chains are visible from outside the machine making it easy to judge when tensioning is required. 2″ high tensile shafts are used

Floor shaft bushes – Farmstar – 2″

Bush highlighted in red. Floor shafts rotate through Polyester re-enforced composite bushes that contain a solid graphite filler. Chosen for their high load applications in a variety of environments, they are greasable, which further extends their life.

Automatic light covers

Machines fitted with slurry doors have Automatic Light Covers as standard. A simple mechanism triggered by the slurry door, moves the light cover over the lights as the slurry door begins to open

Ground Level Greasing

Easy greasing of top bearings via low level greasing points

Cat 4 swivel ball

Cat 4 swivel ball with adjustable height to suit different tractor hitch heights

In cab electric floor speed control

The in-cab electric remote floor speed control allows the operator to make adjustments to the floor speed while on the move

Simple canopy

Designed for use when spreading low applications of products like Lime and chicken litter, the canopy ensures that all material is spread by the bottom auger blades

Wide angle PTO c/w Cam Clutch

The wide angle joint allows for turning on headlands with the PTO still engaged. Instead of shear bolt protection a cam clutch can be fitted to PTO
