Frontier F-Series Self-Propelled Windrow Turners

Frontier F-Series Self-Propelled Windrow Turners

Frontier self-propelled straddle-type windrow turner, a machine designed and built by experienced composters with quality and serviceability in mind. No other windrow turner can out-perform this patented drum and paddle design for 100% mixing, 100% aeration, total porosity and odor control.

Frontier self-propelled windrow turners come equipped with air-conditioned cabs and hydraulic planetary wheel-drives with built-in brakes. Belt-driven drum drives are reliable and dependable, requiring minimal maintenance for the long life of the machine.

The Heart of the machine is in the patented drum and paddle design (US Patent # 5,586,731). The paddles are extremely abrasion resistant and weigh 7 to 10 lbs each, making them impervious to small rocks and debris, saving you time and money. The processing action of these paddles has proven to be far superior to rotor-tillers, conveyors, augers, knives or flat paddle designs. Frontier's patented feature aerates material as it mixes: left to right, right to left, top to bottom, bottom to top and inside out.

  • Particle size reduction without pulverizing.
  • Mixes by turbulently throwing material in two crossing patterns.
  • Creates two CO2 purging circulating airflows (15 cu. ft. air per cu. ft. material)
  • The airflow and paddles form the windrow into its optimum shape and porosity.
  • Operators cab slides forward at the touch of a button for a clear and safe view to the front and sides of the row; then retracts for trailering and storage
  • Components designed and laid out with maintenance and service in mind
  • Choose from 115 hp to available 600 hp to meet the demands of any site
  • Load transfer frame
  • Self-trailering controls and gear are set-up for smooth single-man operation.
  • Standard automatic belt tensioner and auto-reverse fan
  • Self-trailering patent for straddle turners with folding 90 degree wheels to make it 100% road legal
