FOR SUMMER CROPPING, YOU'VE GOTTA TRY A TRASHWORKER.
John Shearer’s range of trashworkers have built a good reputation for their utility in predominately summer cropping areas. The new, hydraulic Mk3 Trashworker is an addition to the current range incorporating features to further improve ground following.
FEATURES
ESSENTIALS
5 row main frame, featuring 9mm, 100mmx100mm RHS on front & rear beams
Front castoring wheels fitted with high flotation tyres
Long 5.2m (17’) fully floating hitch
Folding operation incorporates four cylinders; 2 front & rear
Row spacing options include, 254mm (10”), 305mm (12”) & 333mm (13.1”)
Two tyne options, 1000lb breakout & straight adjustable
Optional “in cab” digital tyne breakout pressure gauge
IN-BUILT STRENGTH
In the Shearer tradition, this Trashworker is built for structural integrity. Axles, castoring assemblies, floating hitch, frames and wings were all given special attention to ensure long service life. Greasable hardened pins & bushes fitted in high load pivot points are just one such example of our design philosophy.
EXCELLENT TRASHFLOW
The four mounting beams are spaced to provide good clearance between rows to promote better trashflow.
HIGH FLOTATION TYRES
For improved ground following and transport, high flotation tyres are a standard feature. The 3.34m model has 215/85×16”.
SIMPLE LEVELLING ADJUSTMENT
There are no phasing cylinders. Two double acting lift cylinders fitted to the centre section rockshaft, are mechanically linked to the wings and control the wheels. Screw adjustable layshafts (links) control levelling across the working width of the machine and from front to rear.
ROBUST WING-FOLD SYSTEM
Four 4”x30” folding cylinders are equipped as standard – one on each hinge point, front & rear.
MAIN FRAME / CASTORING ASSEMBLY
The main frame includes 5 rows of 100mm x 100mm mounting ranks, of which the front and rear centre section beams are 9mm for additional strength. Four wheels carry the main frame, 2 front castoring and 2 extra-large main wheels.
HYDRAULIC OVER-PRESSURE PROTECTION
The standard 20 litre gas accumulator provides protection from pressure overload during working.
In addition, in-line’ valves fitted to the hydraulic circuitry assist in controlling the re-coil speed and force of the tynes as they return to the work position. A digital tyne breakout pressure gauge, fitted in the tractor cab, is an available as an option.
1000LB HYDRAULIC TYNE ASSEMBLY
The John Shearer 1000lb Hydraulic Tyne Assembly is tough and reliable and offers on the go tyne breakout pressure adjustment from the tractor seat. The easy to fit clamp on design can be mounted onto 100mm x 100mm (4” x 4”) heavy duty RHS and retrofitting to existing machines is simple with easy to follow installation instructions.
1000lb Hydraulic Tyne
STRAIGHT ADJUSTABLE TYNE
The straight adjustable planting tyne is fitted to the standard Trashworker tyne assembly, using an adaptor. Operators can therefore change from the standard Trashworker tyne to the 50mm x 25mm section straight adjustable tyne when seeding.
