[QUOTE="cousinjack, post: 6728141, member: 71160"] We class it at one of the best machines we've ever bought.. The time saving is immense, along with the saving in straw use and the ability to spread less than perfect bales quickly.. 120 head sucker herd here.. Teagle chopper on wheels, which is more manuverable, and can operate behind a smaller tractor than the mounted ones .. 80hp is ample. Downsides we have found are : Slight increase in eye issues due to blowing straw over top of cattle, Don't spend time in and around the herd so much, so can miss health problems occasionally It's another machine to start on cold days, find a shed for, maintain etc.. Once you've had one, I doubt you'd get rid ! [/QUOTE]
