A new range of bale choppers has been launched, adding to the portfolio of Kubota implements now available through the dealer network.
The four-model range includes one mounted and three trailed models, with capacities from two- to six cubic metres. All are capable of handling round and square bales, and can be loaded with clamp silage which can be fed through the spout.
Available models are the BC1200, BC2300, BC2300 Pro and BC2600 Pro, and can be used as self-loading models thanks to a hydraulically operated rear door.
Pro models feature a hydraulically activated belt clutch. This allows the shredding rotor to run independently of the flywheel. Activated from the cab, this feature lets the operator achieve maximum flywheel speed before starting the shredding rotor, reducing the risk of blockage in the flywheel.
Six-cube models feature dual shredding rotors that sit in front of the flywheel housing, with others using a simpler, single rotor design. All BC models get a wide-section, four-stage swivel chute, and a generous shredding area around each rotor, which provides improved access to the flywheel to deliver greater throughput and powerful material flow, reaching a distance of up to 20m.
