We've got one ain't used it for years,we found mixing it in the sawdust in the bedding machine is better and we've cut the lime down massively over the years u only need a shovel full a day that's all any more it's knackers the teats up etc!

I've had one for 7 years. Its works fine and hasn't been any bother. Use it 7 days a week in the winter and put 1 25kg bag out on 140 cubicals before the sawdust.
It is an extra trip rather than mixing it with the sawdust but you can see every bed has some on it.

thats not mine its a customers ,
they are using fresh green sawdust to cut down on dust , that is what i would see as a problem as the finer products which are doing a better job tend to be the dusty ones , when you move from hand bedding to machine you will have a dust problem if your not careful

Valmetal self propelled bedding chopper is a good option

Anyone know the cost of a new wood chuck?

No but I've just bought a new mensch side shooter which I'd highly recommend.

PM me if you want more info.

Why so ?

 

[William26]

Material always bridges so have to shake the dispenser to make it fall and when I full throttle the stuff just flys every where

 

[William26]

The new ag I’ve gone for has a top auger stop bridging and also the spread is a lot more concentrated

Use a ride on lawnmower as a silage pusher, do you think it'd be possible to alter the scraper to do the silage aswell?
Ps auto scrapers so don't need the scraper really.

do you have any pics?
