CT514 Compost Turner


Process up to 2,300 tons/2,086.5 metric tons per hour with the CT514 compost turner. Towed with a 60 hp tractor or front-end loaders, the CT514 creates windrows measuring 5’x14’/ 1.26 x 4/3 m with ease, thanks to a powerful John Deere 6068HF PowerTech Tier 3 engine. Aggressive flails promote aeration and mixing to reduce total composting time. Heavy-duty construction and added features like a hydraulic actuated clutch help extend clutch life.
