Universal Tractor Shredder DR-500 (Straw, Hay and Grass Shredder)

Description Universal Tractor Shredder DR-500 (Straw, Hay and Grass Shredder)

The DR-500 shredder is a practical machine designed for mechanically shredding various types of plant-based raw materials. Thanks to its hydraulic drive powered by the tractor's hydraulic system, the machine does not require connection to a stationary electrical supply or a separate electric motor.

The machine is suitable for processing straw, hay, alfalfa, reeds, dry grass, and other plant materials that require size reduction.

The design is adapted for mounting on a standard three-point hitch, allowing the shredder to be used with tractors and compact tractors equipped with a suitable hydraulic system.

Its mobile construction makes it possible to transport the machine directly to the work site, providing convenient operation on farms and at processing facilities.

Main Advantages of the DR-500 Shredder

• Hydraulic drive – uses the tractor's hydraulic system, eliminating the need for a separate motor.

• Mobile design – allows operation directly at the raw material storage or preparation site.

• Versatile applications – suitable for shredding straw, hay, alfalfa, reeds, dry grass, and other plant materials.

• Three-point hitch mounting – makes it easy to connect to tractors and compact tractors.

• Particle size adjustment – the shredding size can be adjusted by using interchangeable screens.

• Economical operation – using the tractor's hydraulic drive reduces the need for an additional power source.

Operating Principle

The shredder is powered by the tractor's hydraulic system, using an NSH-10 hydraulic pump or a compatible system with suitable operating parameters. The supplied material enters the working chamber, where it is shredded. The resulting particle size can be adjusted by selecting and installing the appropriate screen.

The processed material can then be used on the farm or transferred to subsequent processing stages.

Applications

The shredded material can be used in various agricultural and production processes, including:

• preparing feed mixtures from hay, straw, and alfalfa;

• producing animal bedding;

• preparing plant biomass for pellet and fuel briquette production;

• composting and other organic material processing operations.

The DR-500 shredder is suitable for farms, livestock facilities, and businesses involved in plant biomass processing.

Tractor Compatibility

The machine is designed to operate with tractors and compact tractors with an engine power of approximately 18–20 HP or more, equipped with a suitable hydraulic system.

For proper operation, the tractor's hydraulic system parameters must be compatible with the shredder's requirements.

Technical Specifications

• Capacity: up to 500 kg/h

• Drive: hydraulic, powered by the tractor's hydraulic system

• Required pump: NSH-10 or an equivalent model with compatible parameters

• Mounting type: standard three-point hitch

• Machine weight: 175 kg

• Particle size adjustment: interchangeable screens

• Required tractor power: approximately 18–20 HP or more

Actual capacity depends on the type, moisture content, and properties of the processed material, as well as the operating parameters of the tractor's hydraulic system.

The DR-500 hydraulic shredder is a functional solution for farms and businesses that need a mobile machine for preparing plant-based raw materials. Its hydraulic drive, three-point hitch mounting, and adjustable particle size make it suitable for various applications, including feed preparation, animal bedding production, and biomass processing.
