Self-Propelled Turner For Smaller-Scale Operations

Self-Propelled Turner For Smaller-Scale Operations FERTILIZER APPLICATION Fertilizer Application (58f) 22-3-39 The first "affordable" self-propelled wind-row turner recently rolled off the assembly line and was immediately shipped off for use in Egypt, says Scarab Manufacturing and Leasing Inc., manufacturer. "These machines allow smaller scale operations the ability to process waste with a much smaller capital outlay than other big self-propelled models," Scarab says. "We believe these machines are competitive with pull-type machines because you don't have the wear and tear on a tractor." It's powered by a 185 hp Cummins diesel and features a 5-ft. high tunnel. A 28-in. dia. drum is driven by a single hydraulic motor attached to one end. Tear-drop shaped brackets on the drum are designed to hold a variety of Scarab or after-market flails. Front 13.6 by 28-in. drive wheels are chain and sprocket driven and are powered by separate hydraulic motors. Rear caster wheels are fitted with 9.5L by 15-in. tires. It has a frame constructed of 4 by 8 and 4 by 4 1/4-in. tubing and a manual over hydraulic lift system for the left front, right front and rear that raises the machine by up to 12 in. Sells for right at $88,000. Optional cab sells for $5,900. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Scarab Manufacturing and Leasing Inc., HCR 1, Box 205, White Deer, Texas 79097 (ph 806 883-7621).
