THE CROSS TELEHANDLER CHOP RANGE
The Cross range of telehandler format Beet Choppers come in various sizes. These models include the BC400, BC800, BC1000, BC1500 and the BC2000. These numbers in the model name represent the rotor width in millimeters. These choppers range from 30 tonnes per hour to 200 tonnes per hour. Each Telehandler Chopper has a Hydraulic release stone system which also works as a variable chop size door. This stone protection system also is equipped with a shear bolt to cope with a sudden stone jam.
Tractors from 60hp upwards are suitable for this machine.

Stone Protection
Variable Chop Size
The Cross Bucket Beet Chopper has been designed with a moving spring chopper door. The spring is used to open the door and allow stones to pass which may be mixed into the beet crop. By tightening or loosening the bolt, one can open or close the door.
​
The moving door is also used for varying the chop size of the product. The Beet can be chopped to a pulp or just roughly chopped. The fineness of the chop all depends on the operator's needs and it can be set using simple hand tools.

Side Rotor
Ensuring beet out of path of wheels
The Bucket Chopper system integrates the rotor to the side of the bucket, ensuring that the chopped beet is safely deposited to the side and not driven over. An auger at the back of the bucket ensures beet is funneled towards this auger and that it is chopped in a rapid manner.

Bucket Size
All Cross Bucket Choppers come in a wide range of sizes. This allows for easier filling and large hopper capacities.
​
All choppers vary in width as standard. The chopper should be specified to suit your track width on the vehicle. The distance between the sides is what determines the chopper to suit your vehicle.

Ease of Use
Streamlining the process
The Bucket Chopper allows operators to scoop and chop in one item, removing the previous need to use a stationary chopper. This makes it useful in streamlining the process in applications such as animal feeding, biogas installations, and waste processing​.
