Today there are many types of special agricultural machinery that facilitate manual labor on farms, including cattle breeding. Since the traditional means of transport is a tractor, manufacturers produce towed devices for different jobs. One of such devices is the KTU-10 feeder.
Appointment of feeder.
The main function of this type of towing device is clear from its name. The full name is "KTU-10, tractor universal feeder". Feed is loaded into it, transported from the place of preparation or storage to barns or open areas, and during movement it is dosed and distributed to feeders. Fodder can be crushed straw, haylage, cereal or leguminous herbs, cut beets or carrots, full-rotation fodder mixtures.
In addition, the device can be used for the maintenance of corn and silage harvesting equipment, transportation and unloading of various agricultural cargoes, and dosed feeding of prepared fodder to warehouses and stationary dispensers on farms.
Technical characteristics
The most important characteristics of the device are its carrying capacity and body volume, that is, capacity. Feeder KTU-10 transports 4 tons of cargo with a volume of up to 10 cubic meters. m. It weighs a little more than 2 tons. The overall dimensions of the trailer are important for driving in livestock premises. Its length is 6.45-6.7 m, width - 2.35 m, and height - 2.45 m. With an additional conveyor installed in the transport position, the width of the dispenser is 2.65 m. The turning radius, determined by the track of the outer wheel, is 6.5 m. Track width - 1.6-1.8 m, ground clearance - 300 mm.
The speed of movement of KTU-10 is about 30 km/h. Manufacturers also show characteristics related to the distribution of fodder. This is the productivity of the process, which can be in the range from 70 to 500 m3/h, and there are usually six options for changing the delivery rate.
Device KTU-10
The feeder is a tractor-trailer, the front
wheels of which are considered to be steerable. Mechanisms with the help of which feed is loosened, moved and dosed are located in the body. The undercarriage of the unit consists of a bottom, to which axles with
wheels are suspended on springs, and a traction-coupling device for connecting to the tractor. The rear axle is simple in design - it is a beam made of rolled metal of a certain profile. But the front one is a tubular beam, on which wheel studs with rotary knuckles are welded. The hydraulic brake system is based on the rear wheels, which is controlled by the tractor operator from the cab. A metal body is mounted on the bottom. It has loading windows on the sides and a folding rear board. For the safety of movement, a locking device is installed on the front axle, which blocks the wheels when moving backwards. The distributing device is a longitudinal (chain transmission) and transverse (stretched canvas on the rollers) conveyors, as well as two drum beaters, which are fixed in the sides of the body. The drive of its working bodies is carried out from the PTO
tractor through the drive mechanisms of the feeder.

Work KTU-10
Prepared, pre-ground feed is loaded evenly into the body of the KTU-10. The feed dispenser is fed into the feed passage by the tractor. The power take-off shaft is already included in it. The longitudinal conveyor with scrapers feeds the feed to the beaters, which loosen them and, in turn, feed them to the transverse conveyor, which, depending on the design of the distributor, distributes it on one or two sides at the same time. If the unit works as a self-unloading trailer, the longitudinal conveyor unloads the feed back through the folded back side. The distribution rate is regulated by adjusting the ratchet mechanism, as well as changing the speed of the longitudinal conveyor and the tractor.
The KTU-10A model completely repeats the basic technical characteristics. It is distinguished by a reinforced body frame and a rotary wheel. KTU-10 feed dispenser on balancers is produced. This modification is marked with the number "1" and is a tractor single-axle semi-trailer on twin wheels. KTU-10 is a feeder, one of the modifications of which can be found in almost every livestock farm.
