Teagle will show its latest 6200P ‘Power Drive’ straw blower at the FTMTA Show, alongside two other trailed and mounted straw blowers and a selection of its excavator-mounted mulching heads.

The new 6200P mounted model combines PTO fan drive with the firm’s latest hydraulic drive and control system for processing straw and hay bales. Weighing in at 1,577kg, Teagle says the 6200P is suitable for tractors from 90hp.

The straw blower comes with Teagle’s tried-and-tested Wi-Fi control system to operate all functions, as well as incorporating a push-button pause/resume spreading feature.

The load on the cross beater is monitored, with an auto reverse function automatically operating when it is overloaded. The bale chamber can accommodate round bales up to 1.5m (5ft) in diameter or full-size rectangular bales up to 2.8m long.

Teagle says the low-speed cross-beater with auto-reverse function teases the bale apart, minimising the amount of dust created and leaving straw long.

It says straw is evenly spread up to 20m by an updated fan and paddle design, via the three-stage, 280° swivel chute, delivering straw to either side or in front of the machine. The mechanical, hydraulic and electronic systems used in the machine are not new to Teagle, having been proven in other models in the Tomahawk range.
