2024 Maschio Gaspardo Leopard 320DT

LEOPARD is a professional fixed straw chopper featuring a double transmission. Developed to cater for high yields, intensive use and shredding of unrivalled quality, LEOPARD has a working width of 10.5 ft and is designed to work with tractors up to 200 hp to meet the demands of large farms and contractors.

The very rugged build and HEAVY-DUTY bearings ensure brilliant performance in residue management for crops such as maize, sorghum, sunflowers, straw, cotton and sugar cane, as well as grass and brush, speeding up their natural breakdown process. The electronically balanced rotor with hammer flails or blades mounted in a helical arrangement results in improved rotation, reducing vibrations. The toothed lower counter blade results in finer residue shredding to speed up the decomposition process.

The dual drive system with 3 belts per side and rotatable roller bearings ensures a high level of reliability even when tackling thick or highly lignified residues

LEOPARD can be fitted with rear pivoting wheels to adjust work height and improve headland manoeuvrability.

Features may include:

The rotors on MASCHIO mulchers are balanced electronically in order to provide the hammer flails with a high speed of rotation whatever the work condition, low vibrations and reduced power requirements. This means the machine has a longer service life.

Drive belts can be tensioned simply and easily by means of a practical external screw system. All implements are fitted with toothed belts that, unlike plain belts, prove more effective and offer greater performance.

MASCHIO mulchers feature bearings comprising two rows of balls, which provide excellent impact resistance and allow them to withstand heavy workloads. Main advantages: long lifespan (30% longer than traditional bearings), high resistance and load capacity, and low maintenance.

For a finer mulch, the machine comes with a toothed lower counter blade welded to the internal structure.
