ABSTRACT:
A pulverizing machine with a cutter assembly adapted to be towed when the machine is moving either forward or in reverse. The machine includes a frame, a plurality of wheels supporting the frame, a cutter assembly carried by the frame and a pair of elevation cylinders for raising and lowering the cutter assembly. The cutter assembly has a cutter housing and a cutter drum rotatably mounted within the cutter housing. The cutter housing is pivotally suspended from the frame by a pair of chain cases, one on each side. Each chain case contains a chain drive assembly connected to the cutter drum to drive the rotation of the cutter drum. Cutter teeth extend from the cutter drum to pulverize material as the cutter drum is lowered and rotated into the material. A pair of rear cylinders are mounted between the rear of the cutter housing and the frame. When the machine is operated in the forward direction, the chain cases tow the cutter assembly. Conversely, when the machine is operated in the reverse direction, the rear cylinders are locked to tow the cutter assembly from the rear end of the frame.
