BALANCE STATEMENT
Both of the Woods Center Drive Shredder flail tubes

effect and also increase vibration levels.
are balanced as rotor assemblies to meet or exceed
factory standards before installation. After installation,
the shredders are statistically inspected to check bal-
ance. These factory efforts allow the shredder to oper-
ate smoothly and be free of excessive vibration when
delivered to the customer.
●
●
●
Hitting large rocks or other foreign objects can
damage knives and other rotor parts, causing
excessive vibration.
Over time, certain types of soil and crops can also
lead to uneven knife wear and increased vibration
levels.
Once field operation has been started, it is the
operator’s responsibility to check and maintain
shredder rotor balance.
■ The operator must be familiar with all safety
rules and safety decals before installing and run-
ning the shredder. All personnel must be familiar
with and stay out of the hazard area whenever the
shredder is running. (See Figure 14, page 21).
●
●
If knife replacement is required due to wear or
damage, refer to REPLACING FLAILS, page 30.
Throughout the life of the flail shredder, removing
the flail tubes for replacement or re-balance may
be necessary.
Smooth, acceptable vibration levels can be easily esti-
mated in the field. After machine shutdown and coast
down has been completed, place a quarter on a clean
top panel of the shredder. At full rotor rpm (while main-
taining all safety rules regarding safe distances from
rotating equipment) observe the quarter. If the quarter
stays still and does not bounce around, the operator
can estimate that the shredder is free from excessive
vibration. If the quarter jumps around during full rotor
rpm, the shredder may be operating with excessive
vibration where troubleshooting and maintenance are
required (refer to the Troubleshooting section).
●
If flail tube replacement is required due to wear or
damage, refer to SERVICING ROTORS (FLAIL
TUBES), page 31.
●
●
●
Any re-balance should be done with all knives
installed.
Factory balanced repair rotors are available
through your local Woods dealer.
Consult with your local balance shop experts or
contact Woods Technical Service for re-balance or
replacement options.
The Woods Center Drive Flail Shredder has been
designed for maximum durability when shredding any
type of crop. While operating in the field, many factors
can affect and degrade shredder rotor balance and
cause increased vibration levels.
Continued operation with excessive vibration can
cause damage to and shorten component life, void
product warranty, and affect personal safety. Checking
and maintaining shredder rotor balance is the owner/
operator’s responsibility.
●
Operating too low to the ground or in frequent con-
tact with the ground can cause the flail knives to

SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
PREPARATION
„ Use a suitable lifting device of sufficient capac-
ity. Use adequate personnel to handle heavy com-
ponents.
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.
„ Check that all hardware is properly installed.
Always tighten to torque chart specifications
unless instructed otherwise in this manual.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness, concern,
„ Air in hydraulic systems can cause erratic oper-
ation and allows loads or equipment components
to drop unexpectedly. When connecting equipment
or hoses or performing any hydraulic maintenance,
purge any air in hydraulic system by operating all
hydraulic functions several times. Do this before
putting into service or allowing anyone to
approach the equipment.
judgement, and proper training of personnel
involved in the operation, transport, maintenance
and storage of equipment.
It has been said “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of operator.
TRAINING
„ Make sure all hydraulic hoses, fittings, and
valves are in good condition and not leaking before
starting power unit or using equipment. Check and
route hoses carefully to prevent damage. Hoses
must not be twisted, bent sharply, kinked, frayed,
pinched, or come into contact with any moving
parts. Operate moveable components through full
operational range to check clearances. Replace
any damaged hoses immediately.
„ Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and power unit manuals; follow all
safety rules and safety decal information. (Replace-
ment manuals and safety decals are available from
your dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, check
or in the United States and Canada call 1-800-319-
6637.) Failure to follow instructions or safety rules
can result in serious injury or death.
„ Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear
sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective
equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
„ If you do not understand any part of this manual
and need assistance, see your dealer.
„ Know your controls and how to stop engine and
attachment quickly in an emergency.
„ Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
„ Operators must be instructed in and be capable
of the safe operation of the equipment, its attach-
ments, and all controls. Do not allow anyone to
operate this equipment without proper instruc-
tions.
„ Make sure spring-activated locking pin or collar
slides freely and is seated firmly in tractor PTO
spline groove.
„ Before starting power unit, check all equipment
driveline guards for damage. Replace any damaged
guards. Make sure all guards rotate freely on all
drivelines. If guards do not rotate freely on drive-
lines, repair and replace bearings before putting

„ Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or
ROPS cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely
fastened. Falling off power unit can result in death
from being run over or crushed. Keep foldable
ROPS system in “locked up” position at all times.
„ Make sure that all operating and service person-
nel know that if hydraulic fluid penetrates skin, it
must be surgically removed as soon as possible by
a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gan-
grene, serious injury, or death will result. CON-
TACT A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY IF FLUID
ENTERS SKIN OR EYES. DO NOT DELAY.
„ Connect PTO driveline directly to power unit
PTO shaft. Never use adapter sleeves or adapter
shafts. Adapters can cause driveline failures due to
incorrect spline or incorrect operating length and
can result in personal injury or death.

PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST
(OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY)
___ Install and secure all guards, doors, and covers.
NOTICE
■ This Pre-Operation Check List is provided for
the operator. It is important to follow for both per-
sonal safety and maintenance of the flail shredder.
___ Check PTO clutch operation (see . Weasler Auto-
matic Clutch (30K), page 33).
CHOOSING THE CORRECT TRACTOR
___ Check all lubrication points and grease as
instructed in Lubrication Service Record, page
27.
To ensure safe and reliable operation of the flail shred-
der, use a tractor with the correct specifications. Use
the following guidelines to select the correct tractor.
___ Use only a tractor of adequate power and weight
to pull the unit. (See chart on page 16.)
1. Horsepower
___ Check that the unit is properly attached to the
tractor. On pull-type unit, be sure there is a
mechanical retainer through the drawbar pin and
the safety chain is installed. On 3-point hitch
units, be sure retainers are used on the mounting
pins.
Use Table 1 on page 16 for selecting the tractor horse-
power class appropriate for your unit’s width.
Increase the horsepower level by 25 percent when
operating in hilly, soft, or wet conditions.
2. Tractor Weight
___ Check oil level in gearbox. Add oil as required.
By following recommendations for tractor horsepower,
the tractor will have sufficient weight to provide stability
for unit during field operation or when transporting.
___ Check that the PTO driveline turns freely and that
the driveline can telescope easily.
When using a 3-point mounted shredder, we recom-
mend that each tractor be equipped with a full comple-
ment of suitcase weights on the tractor front (see
Figure 2 for example). This will provide the required
front weight for turning and extra traction if equipped
with front wheel assist.
___ Check tire pressure. Inflate to specified level.
___ Check flails. Inspect for damage or breakage.
Make sure they swing freely on their mount.
Repair or replace as required.
___ Check condition of cutter blade (if so equipped).

The operator is responsible for measuring the
dimensions of the driveline through its working
range. These dimensions will indicate if the drive-
line requires shorting to operate on the particular
tractor/unit attachment system. The operator must
check dimensions before using the unit for the first
time and each time a different tractor is used with
the unit.
The 3-point hitch models require that the tractor be
equipped with a Category II or Category III 3-point
hitch. If the hitch can be converted from one to the
other, use a Category III to provide a wider stance and
more stability.
Use the upper top link hole for Category III and the
lower hole for Category II as shown in Figure 3.
■
Use the following procedure when determining
driveline dimension:
For easier attachment, use a quick hitch. If not using a
quick hitch, use optional hitch extension.
4. Hydraulic Requirements when Using Center
Cutter Options
„ Keep bystanders away from equipment.
1. Clear the area of all bystanders.
The tractor hydraulic system must be capable of 8 gpm
(30 lpm) at 1500 psi (10,335 kPa). The system cannot
exceed 28 gpm or 3000 psi. Either closed-centered or
open-centered systems can be used.
2. Attach the 3-point hitch to the unit but not the PTO
driveline.
3. Raise the unit until the tractor PTO and gearbox
5. Load Sensing Hydraulics (3-Point Models Only)
shafts are the same height.
Many newer tractors are equipped with “load sensing”
hydraulics. The operator is responsible for setting the
tractor hydraulic system to provide “float” on the 3-point
hitch. Refer to the tractor manual for specific instruc-
tions.
4. Measure the dimension between the shaft grooves
on the tractor and implement ends. If this
dimension is less than 34.81 inches, the shaft will
require shortening.
5. Move the unit to its highest and lowest working
position and measure this dimension again. [The
unit’s shaft can telescope (see Figure 5) before it
has been shortened.]
The “float” feature will allow the unit to follow the
ground contours during operation. This applies to 3-
point mounted machines only.
NOTICE
6. If required, shorten the shaft to prevent bottoming
out during use. NOTE: An extra inch of
compression space in the shaft can eliminate
bottoming out during use. Measure to make sure.
■ Do not use PTO shaft adapters. They will
change the drawbar dimension and can cause driv-
eline failures.

cutting height.
Flail Height
“L” Flails
Set the unit to give a flail height of at least 3 to 6
inches (75 to 150 mm) above the ground. This will
minimize the amount of stones and dirt picked up by
the flails under all operating conditions. (See Balance
Statement, page 5.)
“L” flails (Figure 10) work best when trash or crop resi-
due is standing.
Cup Flails
Cup flails (Figure 11) can pick up material from the
ground and work best in matted trash conditions.
NOTE: To avoid unnecessary wear on knives and
related parts, never set the unit lower than the recom-
mended setting. (See Balance Statement, page 5.)
The standard cup flail is 11 inches (279 mm) long and
is used for most applications. Optional 7 and 9 inch
(177 and 228 mm) flails are available to match the tip
position to ground contour.
SET OPERATING HEIGHT
Use stroke control spacers. The number and thickness
should be equal on each cylinder to keep shredder
level.
Attach optional cup flails as follows, making sure that
knives at 180° match (see Figure 9) (see Balance

Figure 9. Optional Flail Contour
Figure 12. Setting Flail Height
Setting Caster Wheels
Normally, wheels are set to track in the row centers,
between the raised seed beds. Tire position will deter-
mine flail height, but depth of furrow is also a factor in
setting flail height. In some conditions the furrow
between the seed beds is deeper on the ends, where
irrigation waters enter the field. As furrows change
depth, flail height will change.
To compensate for the depth change, move the caster
wheels against the side of the outer seed bed (see Fig-
ure 13). The wheels will then tend to climb up the side
of the seed bed and prevent the flails from hitting the
top of the bed.

the area described in 1 & 2 above, this seepage is
considered to be unacceptable leakage.
Before checking gearbox oil level, shut down the
shredder for a couple of hours to allow the oil to drain
back into the reservoir for the most accurate reading.
Proper oil level should be between the full and add
lines on dipstick. When oil is needed, add through the
dipstick tube.
6. Gearboxes with unacceptable leakage should be
rebuilt, replacing old seals and worn parts with new
seals and parts. Gearbox rebuild and seal
replacement parts are available through your local
Woods dealer. Consult with Woods Technical
NOTICE
■ DO NOT OVERFILL. Lab tests have proven that
overfilling the gearbox can dramatically increase
the gearbox operating temperature. In extreme
cases this can overheat the oil, reducing its lubri-
cating and cooling properties, and eventually
cause shaft seals to deteriorate and fail. Over-
heated oil has an obvious burnt smell; drain it and
refill with new oil. Overfilling gearbox oil can void
the warranty.

recommendations, or warranty questions.
CHANGING GEARBOX OIL
Although gearbox oil never wears out, dust, dirt, and
moisture can enter through the breather during opera-
tion. These contaminants must be removed once a
year to ensure a long life for working components. In
very dusty or dirty conditions, change the oil twice a
year.
The gearbox should not require frequent servicing of
oil. It is not designed to consume or lose large amounts
of oil. If oil needs to be added frequently, troubleshoot-
ing the cause is required (see section below).
1. Clear area of bystanders, especially children.
2. Shut off tractor, place all controls in neutral, set
parking brake, remove key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop.
Gearbox leakage & Troubleshooting
Some gearbox oil leakage may be acceptable if:
1. Oil covers less than a 3-inch diameter circle around

The Woods Center Drive Flail Shredder has been
designed for durability when shredding any type of
crop. Some operating conditions will shorten the life of
the shredder or components. These include operating
too low to the ground or in frequent contact with the
ground, and contact with large rocks or other foreign
objects. Over time, some types of soils and crops can
cause wear or damage to rotor components and affect
rotor balance, leading to increased vibration. Contin-
ued operation with excessive vibration can damage the
shredder, requiring rotor service, removal, or replace-
ment.

1. Jackstands with a load rating of 2000 lbs or more
are the only approved blocking device for this
shredder. Install a minimum of four jackstands
under the shredder before working underneath
unit.
42 Assembly
MAN0943 (07/12/2011)
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Do not position jackstands under wheels, axles, or
wheel supports. Components can rotate and cause
shredder to fall.
2. Consider the overall stability of the blocked unit.
Just placing jackstands underneath will not ensure
your safety.
The working surface must be level and solid to
support the weight on the jackstands. Make sure
jackstands are stable, both top and bottom. Make
sure shredder is approximately level.
3. With full shredder weight lowered onto jackstands,
test blocking stability before working underneath.
4. If shredder is attached to tractor when blocking, set
the brakes, remove key, and block shredder before
working underneath.
5. Securely block rear tractor wheels, in front and
behind. Tighten tractor lower 3-point arm anti-sway
mechanism to prevent side-to-side movement.
