Summer 2004 News Release

AgLand Industries has engineered a new line of Macerators. The Macerator 6610 is a new and improved version of the Macerator 6600 built by AgLand engineers with input from our dealers and customers. Below is a list of the improvements:

1. Steel roll shafts and hubs have been redesigned for more strength and durability.

2. The drive line has been changed to Bondioli.

3. Top cover now hinges in the center so that it makes it easier to grease the u joints as well as clean out the top when putting the unit away at the end of the season.

4. The bottom rubber roller is now a double belt drive.

5. Main drive belt idler for top rolls on RH side is now self tensioning to increase belt life and minimize maintenance.

6. Larger idler pulleys for longer belt life.

7. Pick-up has been designed to allow for better feeding and the ability to pick-up and feed wider swaths (windrows).

8. Wind-guard arms have been redesigned to enhance pick-up feeding.

9. Newly designed pick-up teeth (tines) allow for better reliability and durability.

10. Doors have been made with vents to allow for cooler operation.

11. An anti-wrap shield has been installed in front of the rubber rollers to prevent wrapping.

12. The reversing wrench has been improved to make it more user-friendly.

13. Side covers below LS and RS doors have been made quick-removable to eliminate the use of wrenches.

14. All drive belts have been changed to Gates for better reliability and durability.

15. The PTO safety cover at the front of the unit has been changed to allow for quicker access to the shear pin.

16. Air gauges and the filler valve are now located on the left side.

17. Steel roller lift arm bushings and bolts have been increased in size for more durability.

18. A locking device has been designed for the axle pivot shaft retaining washer.

19. Pick-up height adjustment range has been redesigned to allow for higher settings.

20. A canister container has been added for storing the Operator’s Manual.

August brought on a new look to AgLand Industries, including new brochures and a new website. This improvement allows us to continue to grow in the crop equipment industry.

The Macerator 6610 and Matador 7900 brochures have been given their own look using color. The Macerator color is now green with the Matador being blue. Both have also been given a new logo, keeping with the color scheme. Look for these on the new brochures and in the future you will see these new logos on the machines.
