Beater Wagons

Designed to provide a more consistent and even mix, the McIntosh Beater wagon is an addition to the conventional chain elevator system. The unique design with three PTO-driven horizontal beaters allows for better incorporation and more consistent blending of different products. Bales are broken up so that cows do not have to lift their heads to drag the feed apart, resulting in less wastage. McIntosh Beater Wagons can handle round and square bales quickly and efficiently, operating in both field and feed pad conditions.

Standard Features

Side view showing beater attachment and hood which channels feed onto the belt.	Three PTO-driven horizontal beaters.	Feeding maize, potatoes and large square bales. The square bale is completely broken up.	Round bales loaded into wagon ready to be fed out.
Feeding round bales into troughs with an even distribution.	The augers completely break up round bales for more even feeding.	The long throw is ideal for feeding into troughs.	Feeds round bales in a long, even, continuous line. This is difficult to achieve with a conventional elevator.
