LOAD DIVIDING SYSTEM

05

The unique load dividing system found on the Comby Feeder Wagon Range is a proven concept that splits the load into 2 areas which move on demand, rather than continuously, which reduces the load on all the drives, reducing the number of revolutions required per load, substantially extending the working life of the feed chains, motors and drive system.

The full body is able to be loaded including the front section where the cross conveyor is, providing more capacity with a smaller more manoeuvrable machine, when compared to the conventional silage wagon. This design also gives the operator better visibility and control of the load, because there is no elevator blocking the view into the feed storage chamber.

Because there are no blockage points with the load dividing system, bales of any type are handled with ease, as with any other type of feed crops.

SIMPLE OPERATION

Comby feeders have a simple and easy joystick control feeding system. The elevator feeding system is controlled from the tractor hydraulics which can be stopped and started. The flow of oil passes through the elevator and goes to a joystick controlled valve system giving forward and reverse of the feeding chamber and forward and reverse of the rear floor conveyor which brings feed material into the feed chamber.

The rear self-loading forks are controlled by the second double acting control in the tractor or via a switch on the joystick control box. The controls on the Super Comby give full control of the feed material, being able to forward and reverse all floor movements. The elevator delivers feed out of the side of the machine and can be varied from light for sheep and deer to the heavier row for feeding cattle.

Optional extras, such as the Comby Spread Causmag spreader and Grain attachment, are linked into the existing hydraulic supply and controlled via the joystick control box.

The hydraulically controlled elevator provides a huge advantage in feed placement allowing the operator to place feed in troughs, bunks, onto feed pads, under or over electric fences (hotwires), and when the fields get really wet, feed can be placed well clear of the wheels even on the tightest turns to eliminate it from being run over or squashed into the mud.

Super Comby 08

THE COMPLETE HAY, SILAGE AND GRAIN FEEDER The Super Comby is a very versatile machine being able to feed all types and sizes of round and square bales including straw, hay and baled silage. All of these are able to be loaded with the self-loading forks and conveyed into place with the hydraulic driven floor conveyor. The Super Comby also feeds fine chop silage, with a level load capacity of 10.5m3 or 13.0m3 using the optional slip-on extension bin.

LOAD DIVIDING

MUDGUARDS

LOWER MAINTENANCE

WELDED BODY

The unique load dividing design utilises the entire body for storage capacity, making for a more compact and manoeuvrable feeder with better visibility of the load and more weight transferred to the tractor, which is especially important when operating in the field.

Standard the Super Comby is fitted with full length mudguards to protect your feed from contamination and keep the feeder clean.

With only one floor running continuously and the remaining 2 floors move on demand, this substantially reduces maintenance compared to that of a traditional silage wagon.

The fully welded body eliminates the need for bolts or rivets which can loosen when subject to vibration or flex.

LOAD CELL READY All new comby wagons come weigh-scale ready from the factory, providing you with a future-proofed feeding solution and easy entry into the world’s best silage feeders. The unique design weighs the entire feeder, whether parked or on the tractor.

SWINGING TAILGATE The new tailgate design makes for quicker and easier operation and stores neatly along the side of the feeder.

HD AXLES The toughest axle design on the market by a country mile, giving total peace of mind, and eliminating any possibility of downtime. 70 x 70 square stub axles standard.

STRONG RHS BARS

TILTING ELEVATOR

The all steel floor design that lasts the life time of the feeder. You’ll never need to worry about a broken board breaking a chain, or rotting out from the exposure to silage juices.

A pressed bullnose covers the driveshafts which eliminates any possibility of feed wrapping around the shafts or jamming.

RHS bars are substantially stronger torsionally than angle type bars of same size. We’ve used RHS bar on all floors for strength and reliability.

Allows the operator to easily feed into troughs, bunks or pasture, and to vary the thickness of the feed-line. The generous overhang eliminates feed being driven over by the wheels, whilst maintaining stability.

WHAT FARMERS ARE SAYING >

We listened to the needs of farmers who are spending countless hours operating feedout wagons. The result is Comby Feeders out-perform any other feedout wagon and they're proven by the toughest farmers in the world! Here’s what they have to say:

GRAEME FISH CREEK, AUSTRALIA

TIM MATHEWSON HORORATA, NEW ZEALAND

"I'm not a big fan of machinery, so I wanted a piece of machinery that would last and be simple. The first Comby proved that. This machine means we only need one feedout machine on the farm."

"This machine here can cut us back to 2 loads a day which is quite a few hours on the tractor."

MICHAEL GROOME HAWKES BAY, NEW ZEALAND GED WARRNAMBOOL, AUSTRALIA “Over the years I have purchased 4 Robertson machines. They are the strongest, most reliable, hardest working machine around. With the capability of feeding out silage, round & square bales so it also saved us capital expenditure by eliminating the need to purchase a second machine."

DAVID KATUNGA, AUSTRALIA "The single biggest reason we chose the Comby feeder is because we only needed one machine to do it all."

"I'd definitely recommend a Super Comby if you're looking to buy a feed wagon. We've had no issues at all feeding maize grain, palm kernel, maize silage, and baleage."

DANIEL ARISMEND MANUKA FARMS, CHILE Manuka Farms is milking 26,000 cows in Chile and rely on Super Comby EX feedout wagon from "It's much more efficient than the other wagons we had, faster, and you can feed bales."

“MORE FARMERS CHOOSE A HUSTLER THAN ANY OTHER BRAND.” – Digipol International Research Consultants

MAX HALL HAWKES BAY, NEW ZEALAND

RON LETT WAIRARAPA, NEW ZEALAND

“I just can't say enough about it, everything we've put in it, it feeds it out, it's just a remarkable machine! I'd recommend them strongly to anyone feeding out."

“After 13.5 years with our old Super Comby and only having to replace 3 chains apart from the general maintenance and greasing, it made perfect sense to buy another one. The new Super Comby EX is saving me an hour every day."

MARTIN ASHBURTON, NEW ZEALAND “The Super Comby was the best purchase we have ever made, with the capacity and performance it can feed out everything and has saved me time and labour costs."

BEN PLEASANT POINT, NEW ZEALAND "After experiencing first hand the frustrations of trying to feed round and square bales in a conventional silage wagon, we chose the Mega Comby XL for its ease of use to feed out anything we want to."

STUART BOWIE SOUTHLAND, NEW ZEALAND “I ended up this year with some fodder beet at the wrong end of the farm so we were forced to pick it. I just can’t fault the Super Comby, there’s no belt drives in it so it doesn’t slip, the tops are on there and it just feeds perfectly in a beautiful line."

COMBY SPREAD OPTIONAL CAUSMAG/LIME SPREADER The patented Comby Spread has been designed especially for spreading Causmag or minerals directly onto the row of feed. This convenient spreader mounts easily on the side of any feed out machine. This invention eliminates the need for a separate spreading operation in the field and the hazards and corrosion associated with spreading Causmag over the load in a feedout wagon.

The hydraulics plumb into the main hydraulic supply and has a flow adjustor to regulate the feed rate.

This unit controls the special auger which delivers a measured amount of Causmag onto the row with the assistance of a high velocity blower to ensure an even dusting.

The delivery of product is via a flexible stainless steel tube.

Spreading can be turned on/off on demand from the tractor seat using the in-cab control unit.

The Comby Spread is constructed of 3mm steel plate and has a rain proof lid.

GRAIN FEEDER OPTIONAL LOOSE GRAINS SPREADER Designed off a similar platform as the patented Comby Spread, the Grain Feeder uses the same in-cab control system, accurately measured flow regulator, water-proof lid and adjustable stainless steel chute.

It has a built in sight gauge on the side and the full length opening lid makes for easy loading with a front end loader bucket.

“THE IDEAL UNIT FOR SPREADING MINERALS INTO THE FEED ROW.” Accurate distribution of minerals with the Comby Spread or grains or PKE with the Grain Feeder.

The adjustable stainless chute allows placement of the mineral or grain on top or beside the feed row and can be locked in place.

ONBOARD SCALES

21

OPTIONAL EXTRAS Comby Feeders have a unique load cell weighing system that means the wagon can be a one piece structure, rather than a separate chassis and body.

This unique system adds a large amount of strength to the machine. The design means you get accurate weights when the machine is off the tractor for loading and whilst attached when feeding out.

The monitor is on a swing arm so it can be swung out for visibility whilst loading.

LOAD CELL SCALES The unique design utilises 4 load cells for Comby & Super Comby and 6 cells for the rest of the range.

HEAVY DUTY BATTERY The machine is fitted with its own battery meaning one less plug to connect to the tractor.

Round load cells are used because they are tougher, withstand flexing and are more reliable than the traditional square cells.

The wireless scale option, allows the monitor to be mounted in the cab of the feed out tractor.

LIGHT KIT The optional road light kit comes with marker lights on the front and stop/tail/indicator lights and hazard panels on the rear of the machine.

BRAKES Choose between 2 wheel or 4 wheel hydraulic activated drum brakes.

REMOTE GREASING Drive shaft grease points are remotely mounted to simplify greasing.

Brakes provide extra safety when feeding on rolling terrain.

Optional fully remote greasing can be specified as a factory fitted spec.

LED lights are used for reliability and comes ready to plug into the tractors standard trailer light plug.

FEEDPAD KIT The optional feedpad kit prevents any spillage between the cross floor and elevator making it ideal for use on feed pads or feedlots.

The feedpad kit is standard equipment on the Mega Comby Series.
