USING THE SPINOFF AS A BALE FEEDER
- Install the SpinOff on the tractor in accordance with mounting instructions and common three point mounting practices.
- Connect the hydraulic hoses. Make sure the ends are clean before insertion.
- Back the tractor toward the bale from either end while keeping the center shaft horizontal and near the center of the bale.
- Continue backing until the center shaft and spinner are fully inserted into the bale.
- Raise the three point hitch.
- Drive to the desired range feeding location.
- Remove the bale twine and dispose of it properly.
- Do not lower the bale to the ground. The rear end of the bale should be higher than the forward end.
- Select a tractor gear slightly above mid-range.
- Set the throttle a little above idle.
- When the tractor is in a forward motion, slowly engage the hydraulic lever to rotate the bale. This will unroll the hay into a windrow.
- Adjust the forward speed of the tractor to adjust the windrow size. A faster speed for a smaller windrow, a slower speed for a larger windrow.
- Experiment with different forward speeds and rotation of the bale to unroll the desired windrow.
