IMPORTANT!
BALANCE STATEMENT
Both of the Woods Center Drive Shredder flail tubes
are balanced as rotor assemblies to meet or exceed
factory standards before installation. After installation,
the shredders are statistically inspected to check bal-
ance. These factory efforts allow the shredder to oper-
ate smoothly and be free of excessive vibration when
delivered to the customer.
The operator must be familiar with all safety
rules and safety decals before installing and run-
ning the shredder. All personnel must be familiar
with and stay out of the hazard area whenever the
shredder is running. (See Figure 14, page 21).
Smooth, acceptable vibration levels can be easily esti-
mated in the field. After machine shutdown and coast
down has been completed, place a quarter on a clean
top panel of the shredder. At full rotor rpm (while main-
taining all safety rules regarding safe distances from
rotating equipment) observe the quarter. If the quarter
stays still and does not bounce around, the operator
can estimate that the shredder is free from excessive
vibration. If the quarter jumps around during full rotor
rpm, the shredder may be operating with excessive
vibration where troubleshooting and maintenance are
required (refer to the Troubleshooting section).
The Woods Center Drive Flail Shredder has been
designed for maximum durability when shredding any
type of crop. While operating in the field, many factors
can affect and degrade shredder rotor balance and
cause increased vibration levels.
Operating too low to the ground or in frequent con-
tact with the ground can cause the flail knives to
wear unevenly. This can reduce their chopping
effect and also increase vibration levels.
Hitting large rocks or other foreign objects can
damage knives and other rotor parts, causing
excessive vibration.
Over time, certain types of soil and crops can also
lead to uneven knife wear and increased vibration
levels.
Once field operation has been started, it is the
operator’s responsibility to check and maintain
shredder rotor balance.
If knife replacement is required due to wear or
damage, refer to REPLACING FLAILS, page 30.
Throughout the life of the flail shredder, removing
the flail tubes for replacement or re-balance may
be necessary.
If flail tube replacement is required due to wear or
damage, refer to SERVICING ROTORS (FLAIL
TUBES), page 31.
Any re-balance should be done with all knives
installed.
Factory balanced repair rotors are available
through your local Woods dealer.
Consult with your local balance shop experts or
contact Woods Technical Service for re-balance or
replacement options.
Continued operation with excessive vibration can
cause damage to and shorten component life, void
product warranty, and affect personal safety. Checking
and maintaining shredder rotor balance is the owner/
operator’s responsibility.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of this manual is to assist you in operating
and maintaining your flail shredder. Read it carefully. It
furnishes information and instructions that will help you
achieve years of dependable performance. These
instructions have been compiled from extensive field
experience and engineering data. Some information
may be general in nature due to unknown and varying
operating conditions. However, through experience
and these instructions, you should be able to develop
procedures suitable to your particular situation.
The illustrations and data used in this manual were cur-
rent at the time of printing but, due to possible inline
production changes, your machine may vary slightly in
detail. We reserve the right to redesign and change the
machines as may be necessary without notification.
Throughout this manual, references are made to right
and left directions. These are determined by standing
behind the equipment facing the direction of forward
travel.

Shredder_S30CD (07/12/2011)
TRAINING
Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace-
ment manuals and safety decals are available from
your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check
the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com,
or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-
6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules
can result in serious injury or death.
If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
Know your controls and how to stop engine and
attachment quickly in an emergency.
Operators must be instructed in and be capable
of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach-
ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to
operate this equipment without proper instruc-
tions.
Keep hands and body away from pressurized
lines. Use paper or cardboard, not hands or other
body parts to check for leaks. Wear safety goggles.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can easily penetrate
skin and will cause serious injury or death.
Make sure that all operating and service person-
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-
grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
PREPARATION
Use a suitable lifting device of sufficient capac-
ity. Use adequate personnel to handle heavy com-
ponents.
Check that all hardware is properly installed.
Always tighten to torque chart specifications
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.
Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic oper-
ation and allows loads or equipment components
to drop unexpectedly. When connecting equipment
or hoses or performing any hydraulic maintenance,
purge any air in hydraulic system by operating all
hydraulic functions several times. Do this before
putting into service or allowing anyone to
approach the equipment.
Make sure all hydraulic hoses, fittings, and
valves are in good condition and not leaking before
starting power unit or using equipment. Check and
route hoses carefully to prevent damage. Hoses
must not be twisted, bent sharply, kinked, frayed,
pinched, or come into contact with any moving
parts. Operate moveable components through full
operational range to check clearances. Replace
any damaged hoses immediately.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.
Before starting power unit, check all equipment
driveline guards for damage. Replace any damaged
guards. Make sure all guards rotate freely on all
drivelines. If guards do not rotate freely on drive-
lines, repair and replace bearings before putting
equipment into service.
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely
fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death
from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable
ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.
Connect PTO driveline directly to power unit
PTO shaft. Never use adapter sleeves or adapter
shafts. Adapters can cause driveline failures due to
incorrect spline or incorrect operating length and
can result in personal injury or death.
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, concern,
judgement, and proper training of personnel
involved in the operation, transport, maintenance
and storage of equipment.
It has been said “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of operator.

PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS
The Woods Flail Shredder consists of a large rotating
tube with swinging steel flails attached. The flails pick
up or strike crop residue or trash and shred it. Rota-
tional power to the drum is provided by the tractor PTO
through a gearbox in the center of the machine.
For removing the center strip of crop residue, an
optional hydraulically driven blade can be installed
under the cover in the center of the machine.
The flail shredder is designed to be used as a semi-
mounted, or 3-point mounted machine.
BREAK-IN OF THE FLAIL SHREDDER
The following should be observed when operating the
unit for the first time:
After operating for 1/2 hour
1. Check all nuts, bolts, and other fasteners. Tighten
to specifications given in the Bolt Torque Chart,
page 59.
2. Tighten wheel bolts to specifications given in the
Bolt Torque Chart, page 59.
3. Check that the flails are in good condition and
swing freely.
4. Check oil level in the gearbox. Add oil if needed.
5. Check that the PTO driveline shield turns freely.
6. Lubricate all grease points.
After operating for 5 to 10 hours
1. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 above.
2. Follow regular service schedule as outlined in
Lubrication Schedule, page 24.

PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST
(OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY)
NOTICE
This Pre-Operation Check List is provided for
the operator. It is important to follow for both per-
sonal safety and maintenance of the flail shredder.
___ Check all lubrication points and grease as
instructed in Lubrication Service Record, page
27.
___ Use only a tractor of adequate power and weight
to pull the unit. (See chart on page 16.)
___ Check that the unit is properly attached to the
tractor. On pull-type unit, be sure there is a
mechanical retainer through the drawbar pin and
the safety chain is installed. On 3-point hitch
units, be sure retainers are used on the mounting
pins.
___ Check oil level in gearbox. Add oil as required.
___ Check that the PTO driveline turns freely and that
the driveline can telescope easily.
___ Check tire pressure. Inflate to specified level.
___ Check flails. Inspect for damage or breakage.
Make sure they swing freely on their mount.
Repair or replace as required.
___ Check condition of cutter blade (if so equipped).
___ Inspect all hydraulic lines, hoses, couplers, and
fittings. Tighten, repair, or replace any leaking or
damaged components.
___ Install and secure all guards, doors, and covers.
___ Check PTO clutch operation (see . Weasler Auto-
matic Clutch (30K), page 33).
CHOOSING THE CORRECT TRACTOR
To ensure safe and reliable operation of the flail shred-
der, use a tractor with the correct specifications. Use
the following guidelines to select the correct tractor.
1. Horsepower
Use Table 1 on page 16 for selecting the tractor horse-
power class appropriate for your unit’s width.
Increase the horsepower level by 25 percent when
operating in hilly, soft, or wet conditions.
2. Tractor Weight
By following recommendations for tractor horsepower,
the tractor will have sufficient weight to provide stability
for unit during field operation or when transporting.
When using a 3-point mounted shredder, we recom-
mend that each tractor be equipped with a full comple-
ment of suitcase weights on the tractor front (see
Figure 2 for example). This will provide the required
front weight for turning and extra traction if equipped
with front wheel assist.

16 Operation
MAN0943 (07/12/2011)
Figure 2. Tractor Front Weight
3. 3-Point Hitch
The 3-point hitch models require that the tractor be
equipped with a Category II or Category III 3-point
hitch. If the hitch can be converted from one to the
other, use a Category III to provide a wider stance and
more stability.
Use the upper top link hole for Category III and the
lower hole for Category II as shown in Figure 3.
For easier attachment, use a quick hitch. If not using a
quick hitch, use optional hitch extension.
4. Hydraulic Requirements when Using Center
Cutter Options
The tractor hydraulic system must be capable of 8 gpm
(30 lpm) at 1500 psi (10,335 kPa). The system cannot
exceed 28 gpm or 3000 psi. Either closed-centered or
open-centered systems can be used.
5. Load Sensing Hydraulics (3-Point Models Only)
Many newer tractors are equipped with “load sensing”
hydraulics. The operator is responsible for setting the
tractor hydraulic system to provide “float” on the 3-point
hitch. Refer to the tractor manual for specific instruc-
tions.
The “float” feature will allow the unit to follow the
ground contours during operation. This applies to 3-
point mounted machines only.
NOTICE
Do not use PTO shaft adapters. They will
change the drawbar dimension and can cause driv-
eline failures.
Figure 3. 3-Point Hitch Attachment
NOTICE
PTO DRIVELINE LENGTH
The unit is equipped with a PTO driveline long
enough to fit any tractor and 3-point linkage sys-
tem.
The operator is responsible for measuring the
dimensions of the driveline through its working
range. These dimensions will indicate if the drive-
line requires shorting to operate on the particular
tractor/unit attachment system. The operator must
check dimensions before using the unit for the first
time and each time a different tractor is used with
the unit.
Use the following procedure when determining
driveline dimension:
Keep bystanders away from equipment.
1. Clear the area of all bystanders.
2. Attach the 3-point hitch to the unit but not the PTO
driveline.
3. Raise the unit until the tractor PTO and gearbox
shafts are the same height.
4. Measure the dimension between the shaft grooves
on the tractor and implement ends. If this
dimension is less than 34.81 inches, the shaft will
require shortening.
5. Move the unit to its highest and lowest working
position and measure this dimension again. [The
unit’s shaft can telescope (see Figure 5) before it
has been shortened.]
6. If required, shorten the shaft to prevent bottoming
out during use. NOTE: An extra inch of
compression space in the shaft can eliminate
bottoming out during use. Measure to make sure.

7. Use an abrasive wheel power saw to cut the male
end of the shaft. Cut the same amount from both
the splined shaft and the safety shield. See Figure
4. Use a file to remove any burrs from the cut end.
NOTICE
Cut only the male end. Never cut the female end.
8. Never cut more than 9 inches from the male end.
Cutting 1 inch from the male end shortens both the
minimum and maximum lengths by 1 inch.
Figure 4. Cutting the Driveline Shaft
ATTACHING SHREDDER TO TRACTOR
1. Place unit on a level, dry area free of debris and
other foreign object.
Keep bystanders away from equipment.
Connect PTO driveline directly to power unit
PTO shaft. Never use adapter sleeves or adapter
shafts. Adapters can cause driveline failures due to
incorrect spline or incorrect operating length and
can result in personal injury or death.
2. Clear the area of bystanders, especially children.
3. Provide enough clearance to back the tractor
safely into the unit.
Do not allow anyone to stand between tractor
and unit when backing up to the unit.
With Quick Hitch Attachment:
4. Set the height of the 3-point hitch so that quick
hitch claws are lower than the mounting pins.
5. Make sure 3-point hitch is set in the non-sway
position. See tractor manual for details.
6. Align the claws under the lower and upper mast
mounting pins while backing up.
NOTE: For a Category II hitch, use the bottom
upper mast hole. For a Category III hitch, use the
top upper mast hole.
7. When the claws are under the pins, slowly raise
the 3-point hitch. Make sure each mounting pin
seats in its respective claw.
8. Release the claw retainer locks to secure the
mounting pins in the claws.
9. Check the top link frame. It should be free to slide
in its mounting slots. This movement allows the
unit to follow the ground contour when cresting a
hill or going through a depression.

13. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for other side.
14. Lower the tractor’s top link arm and secure in top
hole of upper mast assembly using spacer, hex
bolt, and lock nut. Attach PTO Driveline
1. Make sure the driveline telescopes easily and
shields rotate freely.
2. Attach the driveline to the tractor by retracting the
locking collar. Slide the yoke over the shaft and
push on the yoke until the lock collar clicks into
position. Make sure the yoke is locked into
position.
Attach Hydraulics and Lift Cylinder Hose
(Center Cutter Option)
1. Use a clean cloth to clean hose ends and area
around the couplers on the tractor.
2. Insert the hose male ends into the tractor couplers.
Make sure hoses lock in place.
3. Route hoses along or over the hitch and secure in
position with clips, tape, or plastic ties. Provide
enough slack for turning and lifting.
REMOVING SHREDDER FROM TRACTOR
Reverse the above procedure when removing unit from
the tractor. Engage transport lock channel at the four
struts prior to lowering shredder. Release pressure
before removing hoses.
Figure 6. Transport Lock
FIELD OPERATION
The Woods Flail Shredder is designed with the flexibil-
ity to operate well in almost any kind of crop and terrain
conditions. However, the operator is responsible for
being familiar with all operating and safety procedures
and following them. Each operator should review this
Field Operation section at the start of the season and
as often as required to be familiar with the unit.
Operators should also review the PRE-OPERATION
CHECK LIST, page 15, and Attaching Shredder to
Tractor, page 17.
Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace-
ment manuals and safety decals are available from
your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check
the Dealer Locator at www.WoodsEquipment.com,
or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-
6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules

“Specifications” section.
DP101
Operation 19
MAN0943 (07/12/2011)
Always sit in power unit seat when operating
controls or starting engine. Securely fasten seat
belt, place transmission in neutral, engage brake,
and ensure all other controls are disengaged
before starting power unit engine.
Always comply with all state and local lighting
and marking requirements.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
RUBBER FLAPS OR BELTING
All units are equipped with front shield flaps or belting
along the front of the frame. The shield flaps stop or
deflect trash, stones, or other debris picked up by the
flails.
Be sure the shield flaps or belting are in good condition
for operation. Replace if damaged, torn, or missing.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
1. Pull into the field and position the unit in a level
area.
2. Lower into operating position.
3. Set the 3-point so the quick hitch is vertical and the
floating upper mast is forward.
4. Use stroke control spacer on four cylinders to set
cutting height.
Flail Height
Set the unit to give a flail height of at least 3 to 6
inches (75 to 150 mm) above the ground. This will
minimize the amount of stones and dirt picked up by
the flails under all operating conditions. (See Balance
Statement, page 5.)
NOTE: To avoid unnecessary wear on knives and
related parts, never set the unit lower than the recom-
mended setting. (See Balance Statement, page 5.)
SET OPERATING HEIGHT
Use stroke control spacers. The number and thickness
should be equal on each cylinder to keep shredder
level.
Figure 7. Setting Operating Height
Be sure the floating mast is free to slide in its mounting
frame to allow the machine to follow ground contours.
Refer to Figure 8.
Figure 8. Free-Float Position
FLAIL KNIVES
The shredder is factory equipped with “L” or cup type
flails. The two types are interchangeable.
“L” Flails
“L” flails (Figure 10) work best when trash or crop resi-
due is standing.
Cup Flails
Cup flails (Figure 11) can pick up material from the
ground and work best in matted trash conditions.
The standard cup flail is 11 inches (279 mm) long and
is used for most applications. Optional 7 and 9 inch
(177 and 228 mm) flails are available to match the tip
position to ground contour.
Attach optional cup flails as follows, making sure that
knives at 180° match (see Figure 9) (see Balance
Statement, page 5):

1. Leave standard flails located between the rows.
2. Remove others and install shorter flails to follow
ground contour. Be sure to mount the same size
flails on opposite sides of the tube. Measure the
row spacing and flail position carefully to minimize
ground contact. See page 36 and page 37.
.

Setting Flail Height
1. Be sure wheels are set to follow in the center of
furrow row. Set flails 3 to 6 inches (75 to 150
mm) above the ground. (See Balance Statement,
page 5.)
2. Align the unit with the working area on or between
rows on flat farming.
3. Use stroke control spacers on four cylinders to set
cutting height.
Figure 12. Setting Flail Height
Setting Caster Wheels
Normally, wheels are set to track in the row centers,
between the raised seed beds. Tire position will deter-
mine flail height, but depth of furrow is also a factor in
setting flail height. In some conditions the furrow
between the seed beds is deeper on the ends, where
irrigation waters enter the field. As furrows change
depth, flail height will change.
To compensate for the depth change, move the caster
wheels against the side of the outer seed bed (see Fig-
ure 13). The wheels will then tend to climb up the side
of the seed bed and prevent the flails from hitting the
top of the bed.
Set the flail height after the wheels have been moved
against the seed bed.

other debris and throw it out with enough force to
severely injure bystanders.
Keep out of shaded area shown in Figure 14.
Shut down unit and wait for moving parts to stop before
approaching.
Figure 14. Hazard Area
GROUND SPEED
Travel speed can vary between 3 and 8 mph (5 and 13
kmph) depending on the bulk of residue and terrain
conditions. The operator is responsible for noting the
condition of the work, setting the speed to obtain a
quality shredding job, and maintaining control of the
unit.
Speed may be increased if shredding quality is good.
Decrease speed if trash is left standing or if some is not
picked up.

DO NOT OVERFILL. Lab tests have proven that
overfilling the gearbox can dramatically increase
the gearbox operating temperature. In extreme
cases this can overheat the oil, reducing its lubri-
cating and cooling properties, and eventually
cause shaft seals to deteriorate and fail. Over-
heated oil has an obvious burnt smell; drain it and
refill with new oil. Overfilling gearbox oil can void
the warranty.
The gearbox should not require frequent servicing of
oil. It is not designed to consume or lose large amounts
of oil. If oil needs to be added frequently, troubleshoot-
ing the cause is required (see section below).
Gearbox leakage & Troubleshooting
Some gearbox oil leakage may be acceptable if:
1. Oil covers less than a 3-inch diameter circle around
the shaft seal area (see Figure 29).
2. Oil covers less than a 4-inch diameter circle around
the dipstick tube (see Figure 29).
If oil leakage covers an area larger than that described
in 1 and 2, do the following:
1. Properly check oil level. If low, properly service.
2. Clean oily area of gearbox. Use a degreaser to
remove all oil from outside surface of gearbox.
3. Closely monitor gearbox for 10 hours of operation.
Check and service oil every 30 minutes or as
needed to ensure operation does not occur with oil
below the add mark.
4. If after 10 hours of operation, oil covers less than
the area described in 1 & 2 above, seepage is
considered to be acceptable.
5. If after 10 hours of operation, oil covers more than
the area described in 1 & 2 above, this seepage is
considered to be unacceptable leakage.
6. Gearboxes with unacceptable leakage should be
rebuilt, replacing old seals and worn parts with new
seals and parts. Gearbox rebuild and seal
replacement parts are available through your local
Woods dealer. Consult with Woods Technical
Service for further details, rebuild
recommendations, or warranty questions.
CHANGING GEARBOX OIL
Although gearbox oil never wears out, dust, dirt, and
moisture can enter through the breather during opera-
tion. These contaminants must be removed once a
year to ensure a long life for working components. In
very dusty or dirty conditions, change the oil twice a
year.
1. Clear area of bystanders, especially children.
2. Shut off tractor, place all controls in neutral, set
parking brake, remove key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop.
3. Raise the unit to provide access to underside.
Place safety stands or large blocks under frame.
4. Disconnect PTO driveline and hydraulic lines.
5. Place a pan under drain plug. Remove drain plug
and dipstick plug (see Figure 30).
6. Allow gearbox to drain for 10 minutes.
NOTE: To remove the most contaminants, drain oil
when gearbox is hot.

SERVICING ROTORS (FLAIL TUBES)
Do not handle knives with bare hands. Careless
or improper handling may result in serious injury.
Any excessive vibration caused by worn or
missing knives or damaged drive components can
cause damage to the shredder and personal injury.
Excessive vibration can also be transmitted
through the hitch mounts and PTO to the tractor
resulting in tractor damage.
Once field operation has been started, it is the
responsibility of the owner/operator to monitor and
maintain acceptable rotor balance. Refer to Bal-
ance Statement, page 5, for details.
NOTICE
Read Balance Statement, page 5, before replac-
ing any knives.
Refer to Replacing Knives, page 30, for knife or knife
component replacement.
The Woods Center Drive Flail Shredder has been
designed for durability when shredding any type of
crop. Some operating conditions will shorten the life of
the shredder or components. These include operating
too low to the ground or in frequent contact with the
ground, and contact with large rocks or other foreign
objects. Over time, some types of soils and crops can
cause wear or damage to rotor components and affect
rotor balance, leading to increased vibration. Contin-
ued operation with excessive vibration can damage the
shredder, requiring rotor service, removal, or replace-
ment.
Factory balanced replacement rotors are available
through your local Woods dealer. Contact Woods Tech-
nical Service for re-balance options or further details.

Block Shredded
Never go underneath equipment (lowered to the
ground or raised) unless it is properly blocked and
secured. Never place any part of the body under-
neath equipment or between moveable parts even
when the engine has been turned off. Hydraulic
system leak down, hydraulic system failures,
mechanical failures, or movement of control levers
can cause equipment to drop or rotate unexpect-
edly and cause severe injury or death. Follow Oper-
ator's Manual instructions for working underneath
and blocking requirements or have work done by a
qualified dealer.
To minimize the potential hazards of working under-
neath the shredder, follow these procedures.
1. Jackstands with a load rating of 2000 lbs or more
are the only approved blocking device for this
shredder. Install a minimum of four jackstands
under the shredder before working underneath

Do not position jackstands under wheels, axles, or
wheel supports. Components can rotate and cause
shredder to fall.
2. Consider the overall stability of the blocked unit.
Just placing jackstands underneath will not ensure
your safety.
The working surface must be level and solid to
support the weight on the jackstands. Make sure
jackstands are stable, both top and bottom. Make
sure shredder is approximately level.
3. With full shredder weight lowered onto jackstands,
test blocking stability before working underneath.
4. If shredder is attached to tractor when blocking, set
the brakes, remove key, and block shredder before
working underneath.
5. Securely block rear tractor wheels, in front and
behind. Tighten tractor lower 3-point arm anti-sway
mechanism to prevent side-to-side movement.
