Rubber deflectors
Gearbox
A heavy-duty gearbox transfers power to the power-band drive belts through cross shafts with intermediate bearing supports:
- Gearbox has a constant-duty rating of 150 hp and a maximum rating of 225 hp.
Rotor bearings
The rotor bearings are now made of steel and have a three-lip seal to keep the dirt out and increase the life of the bearings.
The side and center bearings now have guards in order to avoid leaks and dust, increasing the life of the bearings.

Accessories and Attachments
Easy End Transport
Endwise transport
An easy-end transport system is available as an attachment on the 520 Flail Shredder for more convenient transport positioning.
The attachment includes two additional arms, one for the front and one for the rear of the machine:
- Reduces the time it takes to prepare the machine for endwise transport
- Allows the arms to be left on for normal field operation
- Not compatible with the disk hitch attachment
- Transport width of less than 8 ft
Field position
Transport position
Transport arms are pinned in the down position for transport and pinned up during field operation.
Miscellaneous
