The Donker’s BT42S Tractor Shredder is a robust and efficient solution for shredding woody waste from pruning, agricultural clearing, and land maintenance. Developed for direct connection to the tractor via a three-point hitch, this equipment stands out for its reliability, high cutting capacity, and ease of operation, making it ideal for intensive agricultural and forestry work. Equipped with a 540 rpm power take-off (PTO) drive, the Donker’s BT42S Tractor Shredder offers simple, efficient operation adapted to the demands of agricultural work. The safety system with shear pin protects the equipment in case of blockage or overload, increasing operational safety and component durability. The cutting system consists of 4 rotating blades and a fixed counter-blade, mounted on a flywheel with a diameter of 63.5 cm and weighing approximately 50 kg, ensuring effective and continuous shredding. The paddles integrated into the flywheel create strong suction that helps expel the wood chips and significantly reduces the risk of blockages. The manual feed chute is designed to facilitate the insertion of branches and twigs, while the 360° rotating discharge tube allows for easy direction of the shredded material for composting, mulching, or loading onto trailers. The reinforced steel structure ensures high wear resistance and a long service life, even under demanding working conditions.
