Features may include:
    HD Steel Frame with tubular floor supports on 24" centers. 7'5" inside width for maximum capacity! New integrated top rail system eliminates the need for side supports when roof is removed.
    Variable Speed RT belt drive standard equipment - featuring our new, high-efficiency bevel geardrive system which offer cleanout speeds up to 17' / minute. New RT Auger Drive feature consistent auger speed based throughout the range.
    Spring-loaded roller chain tensioning w/ nylon paddle tightner on primary drive and auger drives
    HD 2" main drive shaft dwarfs the competition. It features machined steel sprockets and 667H pintle aprons - Tuff Stuff!
    24" wide pintle chain apron provides an even discharge to your blower or bagger without the buildup of roller chain conveyors. Hold-downs and fold-down conveyor extension are standard.
    Feather start controls including cross apron / augers / main apron. No jaw clutch starts like other brands!
    LED lighting is standard
    Basic Hydraulic or Cab-Controlled Hydraulic Drive available
Large Diameter Augers
    18" diameter drum augers in a tapered formation provide a smooth mat of feed to the discharge conveyor below. Much smoother than spiral beater arrangements in haylage!
Marine Treated Plywood Floor
    Meyer RT500 Forage Boxes come standard with a marine treated plywood floor (runs full length).
Higher Roof
    A 6" taller roof package is available for ease of filling and additional capacity.
