Our PTO-driven WN1600 & WN3000 units are built to work through compost heaps efficiently and economically. The WN1600 is for 1.6m rows and the WN3000 is for 3.0m rows. These machines are strongly built with simplicity, which makes them easy to use and to maintain. They have been designed to produce microbially-active, high-quality compost. Tractors with a crawler gear with speeds between 250-750 meters per hour are essential for these machines to operate efficiently.

A special hardened steel is used to manufacture the blades to ensure long lifespan and reduce running/maintenance costs. Each blade is uniquely shaped to bring the compost from the bottom to the top and from the outside to the inside. This allows the compost rows to have a chimney effect to create the perfect flow for CO2/Oxygen. Adding moisture to your compost will increase the microbial activity and is an essential part of compost making. A pipe is fitted where a quick coupler and hose can be attached. This unit requires little maintenance and a regular rinse will enhance the lifespan.

Unique Features:
• These compost turners have a transport mode.
• The unit is quickly converted from operational mode to transport mode with the use of hydraulics.
• Because of this feature the machine is easy to maintain, especially when you have breakdowns while in operation, as it cuts into a heap or turns quickly out of it.
