Thanks for that. We pit about 400 tons in 2 clamps , but I don`t understand how adding water to it after its passed through the rollers can eliminate the whole grains ?.

Do you always use a hose pipe?, or only if you think its too dry.

I`m not blaming the cattle. I just wondered if other crimp feeders had the same problem. Don`t think its stones in the grain because we're not on stoney land. It might be worn rollers although the contracter had the fluted sort, don`t know if there better ?. The s/barley crop last year was...

There having about 5kgs head.

As title says. Any body feeding Crimp ?. We had the same problem last year, only worse. It was dryer though, about 25% moisture. This year it averaged 35%, but still too many whole grains in the muck. About a small handful in a passing. Seem such a waste, although cattle are doing well . TIA.

How much do you call a long distance ?.

That's good to know.(y)

160 hp tractor, is that enough ?.

1000 ton clamp, about 150 acres, mostly PP. About 2 or 3 mile haul max.

:) Are you saying we should roll it all up in bales :rolleyes::rolleyes:

We`ve got a chance of a Demo in the next few weeks, and just wondering if the extra hassle of sheeting and resheeting clamps between cuts outweighs the extra quality of cutting much younger grass. Just trying to use much less grain for fattening cattle. We cut mainly PP once atm.

OK Thanks

Anybody on TFF use them. Pros and Cons? TIA.
