Tanco i73 Bale Shear

The i73 Bale Shear was first developed by Tanco to better improve the feeding of round bales in winter months. Before the i73 Bale Shear, feeding bales was labour intensive, where operators had to exit the cab and manually open bales with pocketknives and then re-enter the cab. The job was time consuming, posed safety risks, unpleasant and made recycling plastic a more time consuming and difficult task. 

Tanco i73

Today with the i73 Bale Shear operators can stay within the safety of the cab. Bales up to 1.55m in diameter are picked and split into passageways, diet feeders and feeding rings. The plastic is held by a patented gripping mechanism, that positively holds the plastic without piercing it, therefore eliminating the likelihood of tearing plastic. Once the bale is discharged the plastic can then be driven to a drop off point.

Improved safety and ease

By removing the requirement to leave the cab to manually split bales with a knife, the convenience and safety of feeding bales is significantly enhanced.

Reduced feeding time

As bales are split before they are placed into a diet-feeder, farmers are experiencing massive reductions in mixing times – by up to 60% – when using the Tanco i73 Bale Shear.

Reducing overall costs

The i73 Bale Shear can result in significant savings on labour hours, fuel and diet-feeder maintenance. This is due greatly to reduced wear and tear on the mixer-drive systems.
