Art's Way 1060 Forage Blower

Two models available for maximizing tractor HP.

• 540 RPM
• 1000 RPM

• Auger trough distributor moves the flow of material into the fan housing faster.
• Large transition opening allows a smoother flow of material into the fan.
• Large hopper area increase blower capacity and allows easy forage box positioning.
• 12 in. diameter auger feeds forage into the fan at 30 degree angle. Inserts material into the air stream at nearly the same plane as rotation for greater efficiency.
• Flexible wind guards on hopper sides keep cleanup to a minimum.
• Auger clutch handle operable from front, side and read of blower.
• Water hose connection directs nozzle at auger end. A second inlet is positioned through the blower band.
• Kevlar drive belts last longer and are less susceptible to stretching.
• Transport wheels are equipped with tapered roller bearings.

High power blower

• Blower outlet easily removable for quick inspection and maintenance, without loosening housing band.
• 60 inch diameter impeller housing with heavy eight-paddle fan and rotating back plate that provides non-stop filling and virtually eliminates plugging. Paddles made from 40/50 carbon steel resist wear and corrosion.
• Sharpened adjustable shear bar keeps paddle tips clean. Prevents hair-pinning, carry-over and power loss. All material goes up the pipe.
• Reversible housing band.

Power Paddle design

Engineering tests show that 35 degree paddle angle generates a greater air stream, moving more material with less power.

Standard features

• Large hopper intake area
• Auger trough distributor
• Large transition opening
• Heavy 8-paddle fan with power paddle design
• Sharpened shear bar
• Heavy PTO drive line
