4.2 MACHINE COMPONENTS
The Tridekon Grain Boss Extractor is a
machine designed to empty or remove the
material from inside a large plastic storage
bag. It consists of a series of interconnected
augers for breaking up and gathering the
material. The material is conveyed to the
center of the frame where it is lifted to the
pivoting discharge auger. All augers are
powered by the tractor PTO.
Pressurized oil from the tractor provides
hydraulic power for the discharge swing,
frame movement, bag roll up rollers and
wheel drive.
The Extractor gathers the plastic of the bag
and pulls the machine into and through the
bag as it loads the material. Both wheels
are driven hydraulically and help move the
machine into the bag.
Distributing and gathering augers on the
rear move the material into the discharge.
Rollers gather the plastic bag during opera-
tion. A guide and bag cutter are located at
the back of the frame to guide and cut the
bag while operating.
