The TW Series are heavy duty crop shredders that make short work of those larger mowing jobs.
TW120 and TW144 are ideal for pasture maintenance, orchard applications, shredding stalks, or cutting material up to 2" in diameter. The TW168 is built tough to shred stalks efficiently, including corn, cotton, milo, and vegetable crops with less maintenance costs than conventional flail units.
The TW Series are available as a three-point lift or pull-type model and 540 or 1000 RPM to fit a wide range of tractors. The center gearbox features splined input and output shafts and tapered roller bearings for added durability and longer service life. The gearboxes and Cat 4 driveline are protected from sudden shockloads by an adjustable slip clutch on the main driveline and by torque dampeners on both side drives. All feature a heavily-reinforced, 10-gauge top deck with rounded-edge design for enhanced appearance, easy clean-off, and added strength. Tall, 1/4" thick side skirts and an obstruction-free underside allow high volumes of material to flow easily through the cutting chamber. Standard pan blade carriers, updraft blades, and a 4" blade overlap help assure a smooth, even cut. Rhino® Quality and Toughness make the TW120, TW144, and TW168 excellent choices!
TW120
The TW120 cuts a 120" swath of material. The center gearbox, rated at 120 HP, transfers power to the 100 HP outboard gearboxes. Torque dampeners on both sides of the center gearbox help minimize driveline and gearbox damage caused from sudden shockloads. Massive 2-3/8" diameter output shafts in the outboard gearboxes help provide optimum service. The pulltype unit requires a 50 HP (min.) tractor and the lift-type unit requires a 60 HP (min.) tractor (with adequate front weights).
TW144
The TW144 cuts a full 144" swath. The 120 HP center gearbox transfers power to the 100 HP outboard gearboxes. The pull-type unit requires a 55 HP tractor (min.) and the lift-type unit requires a 70 HP (min.) tractor (with adequate front weights).
TW168
With the addition of the optional shredding kit, the TW168 features 12 free-swinging and 4 stationary blades for increased shredding action. The “baffling” included in the kit helps deflect material into the cutting chamber and evenly distribute the shredded material across the width of the machine.
The lift-type TW168 features a heavy-duty CAT II-III and Quick Hitch for extra durability. The lift-type unit is available with 4.00 x 8 laminated or 6 x 9 foam-filled, used airplane tires to better fit your application. The axles are adjustable to fit varying row crop widths.
