Castor 20-80 - Lucas G

Detailed Description

Lucas G has based its reputation thanks to its range of bale feeders Castor well-known for its outstanding performance, these machines are able to feed and straw blow all materials, Regardless the length of strands and the percentage of humidity. These machines are equipped as standard with a two-speed gearbox which allows precise distribution at low speed and powerful straw blowing up to 18 m at high speed.

Castor 20 R – Mounted

The 2m3 version of the Castor R is a mounted version that attaches to the tractor's 3-point couplage.

Castor 30 – 60 – 80 – Trailed

The larger capacity versions are trailed versions with an articulated coupling as standard which allows the machine to follow the tractor wheels. A fixed coupling is available as an option.

Option: Water Sprayer

The addition of a sprayer offers convenience of use while it limits the appearance of dust, adjustable nozzles are located at the flow outlet to prevent clogging of the chute when straw-bedding. It is possible to add soluble additives to the tank to sanitise the straw and guarantee a clean straw bed for the animals.This system works simultaneously as the bed chain advances to avoid unnecessary use when the machinery is not straw-bedding.

ALL FODDER SHREDDER

Designed to process all kind of fodder even difficult ones (wet silage) it is fitted with 5 or 7 smooth discs and 48 knives which guarantee a clean cut of products. The paddles located between the discs bring the cut material to the turbine and avoid long strands to wrap around the shredder.

TWO-SPEED WELDED TURBINE

This piece has been designed in a single block. Equipped with 6 blowing paddles, the material is launched up to 18 m with lateral chute and 15 m with the Universal chute. The turbine is integrated in a blowing conduit of 33 cm that avoid jamming problems and provide a steady workin.

CHUTE CUT-OFF PLATE

Patented by Lucas G, this bevelled part is located at the outlet of the chute and ensures that the material exits without blockage. If a surplus of material is present at the level of the blade, the cut-off plate will remove it so that the following blade expels it. This system guarantees a sustained and homogeneous strawbedding even with glued straw. The cut-off plate promotes the suction effect for better strawbedding performance

EFFECTIVE KINEMATICS

The PTO drives the turbine directly via a two-speed gearbox. ( spreading speed / distribution speed) An angle transmission drives the shredder or shredders. The whole system is protected by a safety bolt to ensure the durability of the system. The electric clutch option allows a magnetic dissociation of the rotation of the fan and the shredders guaranteeing the interruption of the straw flow by simple disengagement.

LOADING REAR DOOR

Rounded design for a perfect hold of round and square bales thanks to the safety bar. The door has a notched step on the side with a handle on the side of the body. As an option, a second control station is available to control the loading door and the moving floor, thus avoiding the need to return to the cab to move the bales forward.

HYDRAULIC COMB

This system allows the position of the comb to be adjusted from the cab to control the aggressiveness of the shredder according to the type of product. Allows a uniform flow of the product to the turbine, it prevents the product from overflowing and allows the driver to know if the bale is forcing too much at the shredder. Rear position for the passage of difficult materials, it limits the contact of the product with the shredder. Front position for easy material passage and for high steady workin in strawbedding.

BOLTED-ON BED CHAIN

Hydraulically controlled and has 9 mooving speeds from 0 to 20 m/min. The speed is set by the control, and the material is fed evenly to the shredder. It can be operated in forward or reverse. Designed with 8 mm marine chains with bolt-on bars, it is guided and driven hydraulically by nuts for better centering and resistance to bale weights.

270° SWIVELLING CHUTE

Hydraulically swivelling 270° chute located in the extension of the turbine and the straw flow to guarantee a spreading distance of 15 m on the right side and 13 m on the left side. Hydraulically adjustable chute cover to modulate the spreading distance from the cab. This system makes it possible to spread straw in a barn in a single pass.

INTUITIVE PRO CONTROL

Electric control for an easy driving from the cab, it’s equipped with a joystick giving the possibility to drive the chute and it’s fitted with a screen to simply use the different functions of the machine.

COMFORT PRO CONTROL

Control of all machine functions from the tractor cab with just 3 fingers. The display shows the speed of the bed chain and an LED shows the current mode.
