Possibly looking to feed chopped leafy silage bales through a bedder. Has anyone got any good/bad experiences of this? Maybe just complicating the process.
Mchail is the one !Possibly looking to feed chopped leafy silage bales through a bedder. Has anyone got any good/bad experiences of this? Maybe just complicating the process.
If you have slats put some self locking yokes in. Worth the money! Everyone said that slats wouldn’t work for us as we feed dry haylage and they would just block with silage but the cattle put their heads through and don’t pull back through the yokes. (we don’t lock them in) we then feed with a bale unrolled down the frount, very little waste even if there is a questionable bale.Ok thanks. Sounds like a mchale is the only option. I was going to maybe try an unrolled first for the simplicity and diesel option but think I might have less bother with stuff getting dragged through onto slats with the bedder idea.
Have I missed the grand new shed opening thenOne in stock here !
This was the most shocking for us, the amount of diesel usage was high, ok when cheap but where it now you can afford to waste a bit of silage with cattle dragging a bit under them. We just use our McHale for mainly bedding now.As already stated McHale . We use one though this yr its only gonna do bedding as we have put feeding bins across front of shed for silage . Knife wear is quite high cutting silage along with diesel usage .
Not had the ceremony yetHave I missed the grand new shed opening then
We used to feed slot of clamp through Lucas but stopped it and just bought a bigger shear grab and save the diesel it was considerableThis was the most shocking for us, the amount of diesel usage was high, ok when cheap but where it now you can afford to waste a bit of silage with cattle dragging a bit under them.

Gow do you get on with the feeding bins? What's the design of them? Clamp or bales?As already stated McHale . We use one though this yr its only gonna do bedding as we have put feeding bins across front of shed for silage . Knife wear is quite high cutting silage along with diesel usage .
Yes.
