I. Product Overview

The tractor root crusher is a professional root processing equipment driven by the tractor PTO (power output shaft), which combines the mobility of a tractor and the efficiency of a professional crusher. The equipment is particularly suitable for scenarios such as orchard renewal, forest land transformation and agricultural waste treatment, and can crush tree roots with a diameter of 10-40cm into wood chips that can be directly returned to the field.

 

Ⅱ. Core technical parameters

Matching power: 40-120 horsepower, needs to match the tractor PTO speed (540/1000rpm);

Working width: 60-150cm, depends on the size of the knife roller;

Crushing particle size: 3-8cm, replaceable screen adjustment;

Processing efficiency: 0.2-0.6 hectares/hour, depending on the root density;

Equipment weight: 450-1200kg, three-point suspension design;

 

Ⅲ. Core structure analysis

1. Power transmission system

Adopt heavy-duty universal joint drive shaft (torque load ≥2000N·m);

Standard safety clutch (sliding torque adjustable range 150-180% rated value);

2-stage gear reducer (reduction ratio 1:3.5-1:4.2);

 

2. Crushing mechanism

Multiple rows of staggered alloy steel hammers (hardness HRC56-60);

Replaceable wear-resistant lining (service life ≥800 hours);

Bidirectional rotation design (forward and reverse switching time <30 seconds);

 

3. Hydraulic system

Integrated hydraulic lifting device (working pressure 16-20MPa);

Automatic obstacle avoidance protection function (response time <0.5 seconds);

Depth adjustment mechanism (crushing depth 5-25cm adjustable);

 

IV. Innovative technical features ‌

1. Intelligent protection system‌: real-time load monitoring through speed sensor, automatically lifting the knife roller when the PTO speed drops by more than 15%; ‌

2. Multi-terrain adaptation design‌: floating suspension mechanism can adapt to ±15° slope operation, ground pressure <15kPa; ‌

3. Quick knife change technology‌: patented quick-release structure makes the replacement time of a single hammer <3 minutes; ‌

4. Noise reduction treatment: The internal acoustic package design keeps the operating noise below 82dB(A);

 

V. Typical application scenarios ‌

1. Orchard renewal: Processing old stumps of fruit trees such as apples and citrus, the crushed wood chips can be directly returned to the field as organic matter ‌

2. Forestry thinning: Cleaning the roots of coniferous trees such as pine and fir, and the work efficiency is more than 20 times higher than that of manual labor ‌

3. Biomass collection: Provide fuel for small rural biomass boilers, and 8-12 tons of dry matter can be collected per hectare ‌

4. Post-disaster treatment: Quickly clean the root parts of trees that have fallen due to ice and wind disasters

 

VI. Key points of operating specifications ‌

1. Pre-operation inspection:

Confirm that the PTO speed matches the equipment (540/1000rpm);

Check the wear of the hammer (single-side wear>5mm needs to be replaced);

Lubricate all oiling points (use lithium-based grease); ‌

 

2. Note during operation:

Keep the tractor forward speed at 3-6km/h;

When encountering extra-large tree roots, they should be processed in sections;

Regularly check whether the discharge is smooth;

 

3. Maintenance after operation:

Clean up the residual wood chips (especially the transmission parts);

Check the torque of the fasteners (key bolt torque 120-150N·m);

Refill the grease of the knife roller bearing every 50 hours;

 

VII. Selection and matching suggestions

1. Applicable to small orchards:

Matching tractor: 40-60 horsepower

Equipment working width: 80-100cm

Recommended model: TG-100 (self-weight 580kg)

 

2. Applicable to medium-sized forests:

Matching tractor: 70-90 horsepower

Equipment working width: 120-140cm

Recommended model: TG-135 (self-weight 850kg)

 

3. Applicable to large-scale operations:

Tractor: 100-120 horsepower

Working width of equipment: 150cm

Recommended model: TG-150 (weight 1150kg)

 

VIII. Technology development trend

1. Intelligent upgrade: Add GNSS positioning system and operation volume statistics module

2. Material innovation: Carbon fiber composite shell reduces weight by 30%

3. Power diversification: Develop a special version for electric tractors (48V DC drive)

4. Function integration: Integrate additional functions such as deep loosening and fertilization

 

As a key equipment for agricultural and forestry waste treatment, the technology development of tractor root crusher is rapidly evolving towards a more efficient, smarter and more environmentally friendly direction. Correct selection and use of such equipment can help users reduce the cost of root treatment by more than 60% and realize the recycling of resources.
