Introduction

The Macerator is designed to condition hay for a super

fast dry down while maintaining the maximum amount of

nutrients and color. The Macerator utilizes special steel

rolls, each running at a different speed allowing for a mea-

sured nicking of the stem for greater air exposure. The low

proﬁ le, heavy duty pickup allows for rapid operation with

minimal leaf loss.

The roll system of the Macerator is designed to allow for the

right amount of maceration without cutting up the hay.

These operating and maintenance instructions have been

compiled from extensive ﬁ eld experience and engineering

data. Some information is general in nature due to un-

known and varying conditions. However, through experi-

ence and these instructions, you will be able to develop

operating procedures suitable to your particular situation.

Please study this manual from the beginning to end BE-

FORE operating your new Macerator 6620. Pay special

attention to the Safety section in this manual and the

safety cautions on your equipment. Should anyone else

operate this equipment be sure that they understand

ALL safety, operating, and maintenance information pre-

sented in this manual.

The terms ‘right’ and ‘left’ as used throughout this manu-

al, are determined by facing the direction the machine will

travel when in use.

The photographs, illustrations, and data used in this man-

ual were current at the time of printing, but due to pos-

sible inline production changes, your machine can vary

slightly in detail. The Manufacturer reserves the right to

redesign and change the machine as necessary without

notiﬁ cation.

WARNING

Some pictures in this manual show the machine with

shields removed to allow for a better view of the sub-

ject. The machine must never be operated with any of

the shields removed.

Congratulations, you have just purchased the new and improved AgLand Macerator 6620. To get the maximum

beneﬁ t from your Macerator we suggest that you read this manual carefully.

Read this manual completely and understand all oper-

ating instructions and precautions BEFORE attempting

to operate or service your machine.

The safety information given in this manual does not re-

place safety codes, insurance needs, or state/province

and local laws. Make sure your machine has the correct

equipment needed as speciﬁ ed by the local laws and reg-

ulations.

Understand that your safety and the safety of others is

measured by how you service and operate this machine.

IMPORTANT!

Review and understand the positions and

functions of all machine controls before operating this

machine.

WARNING! Do NOT attempt any adjustments, mainte-

nance, troubleshooting, or repairs while machine com-

ponents are moving or activated with pressure.

▪ Lower machine to ground or onto appropriate blocks.

▪ Stop tractor engine and remove ignition key.

▪ Set tractor parking brake prior to leaving operator sta-

tion.

Safety Alert Symbol

The Safety Alert symbol identiﬁ es impor-

tant safety messages in the manual and on

the machine. When you see this symbol, be

alert to the possibility of personal injury or

death. Follow all instructions in the safety

message given. This symbol means atten-

tion, be alert, and your safety is involved.

Three Reasons To Follow Safety Instructions:

1. Accidents disable and kill.

2. Accidents cost.

3. Accidents can be avoided.

Slow Moving Vehicle Emblem

The Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem

must be placed on the rear of the ma-

chine and be visible to trafﬁ c approach-

ing the machine from the rear while

traveling on public roads. Keep the SMV

emblem clean and replace when dam-

aged or emblem materials have faded. The SMV should

only be displayed on the machine at road speeds less

than 25 MPH (40 km/h).

Safety

▪ The operator is responsible for complying with all

local regulations regarding transporting agricultural

equipment on public roads and highways.

▪ Ensure all lights and reﬂ ectors, as required by local

law, are in place, intact, and clean before transport-

ing machine on public roads and highways.

▪ Connect electrical socket on machine wiring har-

ness to tractor receptacle.

▪ Ensure SMV emblem is clean and properly displayed,

where required by law, before transporting machine

on public roads and highways.

▪ Do NOT allow riders on machine at any time, includ-

ing transport of machine on public roads and high-

ways.

▪ Maximum transport speed is 20 MPH (32 km/h).

Reduce speed on rough roads and surfaces.

▪ Use proper retainer on drawbar hitch pin and attach

safety tow chain to tractor prior to transporting ma-

chine on public roads and highways.

▪ Ensure that travel lock pin is installed and secured

in the hole provided for transport.

▪ Tractor light switches should be set for road trans-

port. Refer to tractor operator’s manual for infor-

mation.

Transport Safety

DANGER

DANGER:

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation

that, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury

if proper precautions are not taken.

Signal Words

WARNING:

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation

that, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious in-

jury if proper precautions are not taken.

CAUTION:

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that,

if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury if

proper practices are not taken, or serves as a reminder to

follow appropriate safety practices.

CAUTION

WARNING

Safety

Operating Safety

▪ Ensure that all components in the hydraulic system

are kept in good condition.

▪ Replace any worn, cut, abraded, ﬂ attened, or

crimped hoses and/or metal lines.

▪ Do not attempt any poorly executed repairs to hy-

draulic lines, ﬁ ttings, or hoses by using tape, clamps,

or cements. The hydraulic system operates under

extremely high pressure: 1600 to 2300 PSI (11,033

to 15,859 kPa). Such repair will fail suddenly and

create unsafe conditions.

▪ Wear proper hand and face protection (e.g. face

shield) when searching for a high pressure hydraulic

leak. Use a piece of wood or cardboard as a back-

drop instead of hands. A high pressure concentrated

stream of hydraulic ﬂ uid can pierce the skin. If such

happens, seek immediate medical attention as in-

fection and toxic reaction could develop.

▪ Before applying hydraulic pressure to the system,

make sure all connections are tight and that lines,

hoses, and couplings are not damaged.

Think Safety,

Work Safely!

▪ REVIEW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS with all opera-

tors before allowing them to operate the equipment.

Review instructions at least once each year.

▪ All shields and guards must be intact and in po-

sition and securely fastened before operating the

Macerator.

▪ Only use a tractor equipped with ROPS cab and seat

belt. Use caution when operating close to a road or

building, the machine can throw stones and other

objects during operation.

▪ Emphasize the importance of safety when working

around and operating the machine.

▪ Do NOT allow riders on any part of the equipment at

any time.

▪ Always keep hands, feet, and clothing away from

moving parts.

▪ Always lower the Macerator to the ground when

parking.

▪ Use transport lock pin and retainer to secure the

lift linkage of the Macerator before transporting

equipment.

▪ Use safety tow chain at all times.

▪ NEVER attempt to unplug the machine when the trac-

tor is running and hydraulic system is pressurized.

▪ Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from the pickup

area when in operation to avoid entanglement haz-

ards. Do not open or remove shields or guards while

machine is running.

▪ Relieve all pressure from hydraulic lines before dis-

connecting them. Before applying pressure to the

system, make sure all connections are tight and

that hoses and lines have not been damaged.

Hydraulic Safety

▪ Make sure all hoses and bellows are kept in good

condition and are clean.

▪ Replace any damaged lines or bellows.

▪ Do not exceed 120 PSI (827 kPa) air pressure in

tank and 100 PSI (689 kPa) in air bags.

2. Turn crank (A) clockwise to widen the gap or counter-

clockwise to narrow the gap. 1/2 turn = .02” (0.5

mm). For a better ﬁ ne tune, adjust bolt (D).

3. Ensure to set the gap exactly the same on both sides,

using a gauge.

4. Put crank lock (B) in place and secure with pin (C).

5. To ensure that the rolls do not touch, the safety stop

is set by the factory at 1/32” or .8 mm.

6. If the safety stop (E) needs adjusting put the travel

pin (F) in place while unit is raised.

7. Adjust the safety stop bolt (E) as needed. Ensure the

rolls do not touch during operation.

8. Repeat steps 1–7 to ﬁ ne tune if necessary.

Field Set Up

Use with a tractor having a minimum of 80 HP (60 kW).

Tractor should have sufﬁ cient ground clearance for

swath to pass cleanly under it.

PTO Speed

Unless otherwise speciﬁ ed, units are shipped with 1000

PTO speed. Units with 540 RPM PTO are also available.

Contact your dealer for more information.

The PTO should be run at approximately 1000 RPM. The

front rubber rolls run at 645 RPM and the bottom steel

roll runs at 1514 RPM at a tractor PTO speed of 1000.

The upper steel roll runs at 1372 RPM at 1000 tractor

PTO speed.

Pickup Height & Adjustment

The Macerator 6620 pickup should be adjusted so that

it will cleanly pick up all material off of the ﬁ eld without

gouging the soil. The height may need resetting in order

to arrive at the best working height.

1. If the pickup is too low to the ground use the tractor

hydraulic cylinder control to raise the pickup.

2. Remove pin (A) and slide adjuster bar (B) to desired

height. Pushing bar in raises machine, and pulling

the bar out lowers the machine.

3. Reinsert pin and lock in place.

Gap Gap

Steel Roll Adjustment

For best results adjust the Macerator 6620 for your specif-

ic ﬁ eld conditions. The smaller the gap between the steel

serrated rolls, the more aggressive the maceration of the

hay will be. Both the space between the rolls and the air

pressure need to be adjusted for maximum efﬁ ciency.

Field Set Up

Preparation (Air System)

The purpose of the air system on the Mac-

erator 6620 is to keep continuous pres-

sure on the rolls.

The pressure can make a difference on

how well the machine performs on the

ﬁ eld. The pressure on the rubber rolls is very crucial.

Always maintain a differential of +10 PSI (69 kPa)

minimum higher on rubber rolls versus steel rolls.

Before heading out to the ﬁ eld, ensure the air pressure

tank has a minimum of 100 PSI (689 kPa) pressure. Not

to exceed 120 PSI (827 kPa). This should give the opera-

tor sufﬁ cient air supply for the day.

Rubber Roll Pressure Adjustment

The rubber rolls are designed to secure the

crop and hold it tight while the 2 rear steel

rolls pull the crop through.

As a standard setting, we recommend

minimum of 25 PSI to a maximum of 60

PSI (172 - 414 kPa) pressure on the rubber

rolls. Regulate the pressure by pulling out the knob on the

regulator marked ‘rubber rolls’ and turning it clockwise or

counter-clockwise. When turning the knob counter-clock-

wise the sound of air escaping from the regulator should

be heard.

In extreme conditions, increase or decrease the pressure.

For example, very heavy swaths may require more pres-

sure.

Steel Roll Pressure Adjustment

The steel serrated rolls (rear) take the ma-

terial from the rubber rolls and crack the

stems. To achieve the right setting, some

ﬁ eld testing may be necessary. (Trial and

error.)

1. Pull out the knob on the air regulator

marked ‘steel rolls’ and turn the knob clockwise or

counter-clockwise to set the pressure to the steel

rolls as per the attached table.

2. On 2008 Macerators, lower the Steel Roll Air Pres-

sure by pulling the Relief Valve Ring at top of Left

Side Air Bag (Fig. 1) to relieve pressurized air. (Ensure

the Pressure Valve Knob is pulled out and turned all

the way counter-clockwise before relieving air from

the bag.) Repeat pressure setting as in step 1 above

to set a new air pressure.

Figure 1

* Start initially with suggested settings in above chart.

Run steel rolls with as close a gap as possible without allowing them to

touch while rotating. This is applicable to the rubber rolls.

Make sure steel rolls are adjusted straight and parallel with each other

and the clearance gap equal at either end.

Start initially with a lower PTO speed, 400 RPM on 540 RPM units and

800 RPM on 1000 RPM units. Increase RPM as required.

If glossy copy paper is used to set gap, 2 pieces equals 0.020” (0.5mm).

Lubrication

General Information

A NLGI No. 2 multi-purpose high temperature lithium base

grease is recommended.

Use a manual grease gun for all greasing. Air powered

grease guns may damage the seal on the bearings.

Wipe all grease ﬁ ttings with a clean cloth before greasing

to avoid injecting dirt or grit in the bearings.

At The Beginning Of The Season

Grease all sealed bearings, front rolls (two places), rear

rolls (two places) and drive shaft (one place) one shot,

Figures 1 and 2.

Thereafter, grease all sealed bearings and universal joints

weekly or every ﬁ fty (50) hours. Bushings and axle bush-

ings daily or every ten (10) hours.

It is recommended that the steel roll bearings be changed

every 3000 acres or yearly.

It is also recommended that the pickup cam follower bear-

ings be changed on a yearly basis.
