Optional equipment:
The straw blower:
• is used for bedding of lie-down areas in
freestall barns for cattle,
• is mounted at the rear end of the fodder
mixing trailer,
• is equipped with an own on-board hydraulic
system,
• is operated electro-hydraulically via remote
control unit from the tractor (control unit).
Due to the straw blower, the total height of the

WARNING
Risk due to substances or foreign objects blown away from the
machine or out of the machine if foreign objects (e.g. stones) get
into the mixing container while filling the mixing container!
When filling the mixing container, ensure that:
• there are no foreign objects (e.g. stones) in the straw,
• no foreign objects get into the mixing container.
WARNING
Risk due to substances or foreign objects blown away from or
out of the machine if people or animals are staying within the
hazardous area of the machine!
Ensure that people and animals keep sufficient safe distance to the
hazardous area of the machine as long as the tractor engine is

It may be advantageous to extend the counter-cutters a little further
into the mixing container for chopping the straw.
