[QUOTE="The Grinch, post: 6732690, member: 72260"] We have a Skovbo 90x120 strawchopper on the front of a medium size pivot steer. Massive time saver bedding up 90 cubicles, couple of loose boxes and two straw yards. Doesn’t tie a tractor up and very manoeuvrable with it being on the pivot steer, only issue is low roofs when it has to tilt back. Does it save straw? I would say yes but not massive amounts the biggest saving is time and energy ( you don’t have to maul big slabs of straw about and split them by hand) like all strawchoppers doesn’t like sh!t straw and can block but all you have to do if it really blocks up is tip it out and start again. We have found this year that straw doesn’t seem to be going as far as normal years, lad down the road has a Teagle trailed and finding the same thing. [/QUOTE]
