Windrower 15/20 Center Discharge Shredder The Windrowing Shredder is the latest example of Loftness turning challenge into opportunity. Unpredictable markets and the demand for bio-mass are turning crop residue into a profit center. Combining a unique tunnel design with our exclusive hard-surface cupped knives, the Windrow Shredder produces the optimal particle size for baling corn fodder and other kinds of residue. The exclusive Loftness tunnel and shroud design maximizes airflow that discharges a cleaner windrow than traditional rake implements. |

Features |
Ag-Pro Grade Construction The standard crop shredder line features heavy-duty design, engineering and construction throughout. |
Rear Lift Provides precise height adjustment for fine tuning performance and chop. Rear lifting choices include three ratchets or three hydraulic lift units. |
PTO 1 3/8-inch or 1 3/4-inch 1,000 RPM power takeoff. Includes over-running clutch on all models and constant velocity knuckle. |
Gearbox A standard feature on all Loftness shredder equipment, this field-proven and extremely reliable gearbox is rated at 280 HP. The Windrower is equipped with a 1,450 RPM gearbox. |
Knives Windrow shredders are equipped with a reduced number of 4-1/2-inch-wide hard-surface cupped knives. The Windrower's unique rotor knife pattern is designed to produce increased suction and enhance chop efficiency. Greater suction means you can operate just a bit higher, reducing the risk of striking hidden objects. The Windrower is the perfect preparation tool for baling corn fodder and other kinds of residue. |
Belt System Efficient transfer of power via a four-groove banded belt and spring loaded push-type idler system.

Mounting The Loftness Windrower is available with a pull-type hitch only. |
Chop Diffuser The grate-like diffuser deflects and directs the final chopped residue toward the ground. Combined with the rear shields, this system creates cleaner rows than those made by rakes. |
Full-Length Rear Shields This unique design from Loftness allows high-speed air and particles to flow freely to the diffuser. They can also be operated in a retracted position for non-windrowing operations. |
Rear Tires and Wheels Configuration for the Windrower include a 20-foot four-wheel or 15-foot three-wheel setup. |
