HAY MAXX SYSTEM adjustments
Basic HAY MAXX SYSTEM must be bolted in the fully extended upright position if not equipped with
optional hydraulic cylinder.
HAY MAXX SYSTEM equipped with optional hydraulic cylinder can be adjusted with the clevis on the
cylinder so that when the cylinder is fully extended the pan is in the upright position and when the cylinder
is retracted the pan is completely down.
Adjusting the knife to pan tolerance may be necessary for different types of feedstuff. As hay may vary
in quality, moisture and material, each of these can affect how it goes through the HAY MAXX system.
The pan can be adjusted to up to 1” from the knife for a more aggressive faster take through and will greatly
increase the power required to operate. The factory setting is at 1/2”- 5/8” and should never be adjusted to
less than 1/2” apart or greater than 1”. Field testing shows that 1/2” -5/8” is best for most materials.
To adjust: loosen bolts, 3 in front & 2 at rear at the locations shown, make adjustment then securely tighten
all five bolts.
