The most versatile model in the Tomahawk range, now with removable screen and an automatic chain lubrication system.
Now you can also process clamp and baled silage with the Tomahawk 8555.
3 Operating ModesTime and fuel can be saved by processing straw prior to it being added to the ration in a diet feeder, 66,000 chops per minute offers fast and consistent performance.
No over processingPre-process straw so that the diet feeder does not need to mix for as long, thereby reducing the problem of over processing the silage in the ration.
Short chop lengthChopping down to an average of 2" with clean cut ends, means you can achieve the ideal material for feeding to create effective rumen stimulation and increased milk yields.
Features may include:
Removable screenThe surface area of the new removable screen has been increased by 20% from its predecessor, the 8550, for increased output and efficiency.
Visual FeedbackAn indicator confirms the movement of the bed chain. The hydraulic motor driving the bed chain is not vulnerable to damage.
Adjustable Feed SlideFor accurate placement of feed materials.
Wireless ControlSlimline control panel uses Bluetooth® wireless technology for straight-forward communication between the operator and the Tomahawk.
DurabilityWear resistant steel is found throughout the fan housing and discharge chute components.
Pre-selector gearboxAll Tomahawk models feature a high specification gearbox, with high/low fan speed gear preselection.
Slip and overrun on PTOFor driveline protection a slip clutch is fitted as standard on the Walterscheid PTO shaft.

Automatic chain lubrication systemThe new 8555 incorporates an electronically controlled, automatic lubrication system for the crossbeater drive chain.
Wide bodyAll models in the 8500 range feature a wide bale chamber, wide crossbeater and large diameter fan. This makes loading easier and increases both processing speed and spreading distance.
ReliabilityBed chain, crossbeater, fan and chute components are tried and tested in all models in the Tomahawk range.
Heavy Duty Bed Chain12mm heavy duty bed chain, resulting in less tensioning adjustments. The chain does not have anything welded to it, which would lower its strength.
Remote control tailgate & bedchain switchLoad bales without returning to the tractor cab, ideal when removing netting or wrap.
Easy Tailgate LoadingTailgate is flared for easy loading and is supported by two hydraulic rams to enable the heaviest of bales to be loaded.
