Rear Lift

Provides precise height adjustment for fine tuning performance and chop. Rear lifting choices include three ratchet or hydraulic cylinders.

  PTO

Available with a 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 on all pull-types. Slip clutch is optional for extreme-duty applications.

  Gearbox

A standard feature on all Loftness shredder equipment, this field-proven and extremely reliable gearbox is rated at 280 HP. The Vegetable 12/24 is built with a 1,450 RPM gearbox.

  Knives

The Vegetable 12/24 comes equipped with Loftness contour knives. There are three lengths of knives to follow ridges. Contour knives are available for 34-, 36-, 38-, 40-, 42- and 44-inch beds.

  Belt System

Efficient transfer of power via a four- or six-groove banded belt and spring-loaded push-type idler system.

  Zero-Turn Radius

Fully-mounted option is available on all Vegetable Shredders. They offer zero-turn radius operation and zero driveline deflection, but may require a large tractor because the shredder is lifted off the ground.

  Mounting

The 12/24 can be configured as a pull-type, semi- or fully-mounted model. Standard wheel choices apply.

  Driveline Bearings

A heavy-duty 1 3/4-inch American-made ball bearing is used to support the line shaft midway between the gearbox and end plate.

  Wheel/Roller Spacing

Wheel position is adjustable to accommodate different row widths.
