HayBuster H-1000

The Haybuster PTO Tub Grinder line is made up of three sizes of grinders plus the option of an electric motor.

The Haybuster Model H-1000 tub grinder is the most economical grinder available. Designed for the small rancher who still needs to get the hay ground. Fifty to 100 head cattle ranchers have learned to appreciate the ability and price of the H-1000. Of course, to make the H-1000 affordable for the smaller rancher, it’s limited on certain features, compared to other Haybuster models. The limited features include no tub tilt and a lighter-duty hammermill. This hammermill only requires an 80 hp PTO tractor and ideally a 125 hp tractor for its maximum efficiency. If your herd size and tractor size fit these criteria, this may be the tub grinder for you.

18” Wide by 20’ Long Hydraulic Folding Conveyor

The model H-1000 tub grinder is now equipped with a hydraulic folding conveyor. The 20’ long x 18” wide conveyor allows you to stack ground material up to 13’9” high at a 40 degree angle.

Big Bite Hammermill

The hammermill is constructed of 3/16” thick x 15.75” diameter plates with 15/16” case hardened rods that hold 64-3/8” hammers. These hammers have 4 hardened edges that can be rotated and flipped to get many hours of grinding.

Eight Belt Drive System

The 8 multiple belt drive system is dependable. It supplies the power the PTO of the tracto to the hammermill. This drive system tuns the mill at approximately 2 x PTO speed. This mill speed provides for smooth feeding and delivers high capacity grinding perfomance.

Standard Features

• The Model H-1000 is now equipped with an 18” wide by 20’ long hydraulic folding conveyor. The conveyor allows you to stack ground material up to 13’ 9” high.
• The hammermill is constructed of 3/16” thick x 15 ¾” diameter plates with 15/16” case hardened rods that hold 64-3/8” hammers. These hammers can be rotated and flipped for many hours of grinding.
• The 8-groove belt system delivers sufficient power from the PTO to the hammermill. The system has a fixed belt tension to accommodate, stretch and wear without having to monitor belt tension. This drive system turns the mill at approximately 2 x PTO speed. This mill speed provides for smooth feeding and delivers high capacity grinding performance.
• High-capacity grain grinding is another important operation that the H-1000 can also accomplish. By placing the optional grain-grinding hopper over the hammermill opening and changing screens, the H-1000 becomes a high capacity grain grinder for grinding and/or cracking feed grains.
• The H-1000 tub is driven by a hydraulic motor which drives a heavy-duty roller chain. The sprocket on the tub is a continuous sprocket that provides a positive and smooth transmission of power to the tub.
• The tub rotation is controlled by an electronic governor that stabilizes engine load by adjusting the tub speed based on rotor speed. It also controls tub direction and tub stop.
• The dual 9” high-capacity augers mounted in the belly pan discharge the ground product to the stacking conveyor. The belly pan provides a clean area to catch and discharge small product such as ground corn and barley.
• The hydraulic folding stacking conveyor is powered by a positive mechanical drive system.
• The H-1000 tub 10’ 3” wide and 44 ½” deep and is constructed of a 10-gauge steel floor and a 14-gauge steel side wall. The H-1000 tub has the capacity to handle all types and sizes of bales.
