Loftness 180DW

HEAVY-DUTY CONSTRUCTION
The windrowers feature heavy-duty design, engineering and construction throughout.

280-HOSEPOWER GEARBOX
A standard feature on all Loftness shredder equipment, this field-proven and extremely reliable gearbox is rated at 280 HP. It spins the rotor at 1,450 RPM.

KNIVES
Windrower shredders are equipped with a reduced number of 4-1/2-inch-wide hard-surface cupped knives. The unique rotor knife pattern is designed to produce increased suction and enhance chop efficiency. Greater suction means you can operate just a bit higher, reducing the risk of striking hidden objects. This helps make the Windrower a perfect preparation tool for baling corn fodder and other kinds of residue.

FREE-FLOW TUNNEL
This exclusive design from Loftness enhances the high-speed free flow of material from the knife head to the draper.

FLOW DEFLECTORS
Shredded material passes over the surface of the curved hood at high speed. As it meets the flow deflectors it is redirected to the center of the draper.

TUNNEL ACCESS DOORS
The full length of the draper belt and tunnel is accessible through two full-depth hinged canopy doors.

36-INCH DRAPER BELT
Designed to move massive amounts of shredded crop material to the side diffuser, the draper resists clogging and jamming. Continuous power is provided by a hydraulic motor.

CHOP DIFFUSER
The grate-like diffuser deflects and directs the final chopped residue toward the ground.

REAR LIFT
The Windrower offers precise height adjustment for fine-tuning performance and chop. Choose between ratchets or hydraulic adjustment.

4-GROOVE BANDED BELT
Efficient transfer of power via a four-groove banded belt and spring-loaded push-type idler system.

1,000 RPM PTO
1-3/8-inch or 1-3/4-inch 1,000 RPM power takeoff, includes CV knuckle and overrunning clutch on all models.
