Is this going to turn in to the equivalent of a pub brawl?

I'll go get a handful. Take a picture and let you judge for yourself.

No just inquisitive.
I have two machines. One is a mill for chopping straw an inch long for cubicles.
The second just teases the straw out and spreads it with discs.
One extreme to the other.

Oh and the third is me a round bale and a fork!
 
As a special treat for you I've taken 2 photos. Ones gone through the mincer I mean shredder I mean blower and one hasn't.

Havent got one, if your happy pissing your payment on machines lash on.
Straw costs reduced by over £1000 a year.

Cattle far cleaner and huge reduction in disease at calving.

Sheds mucked out quicker because it's an even distribution of straw, it composts down far quicker for spreading, and is much easier to spread.

But there's no point explaining to a chipped shouldered Luddite the business benefits of re-investing profit to improve net margin.

Next you be telling us you cant farm without a payment, think anyone is going to listen to a farmer with a failed system, think again.
Why do you feel it necessary to attempt to insult a poster that disagrees with your factless opinion. Will you be calling anyone a dick head tonight again?

I'm sorry that you can't substantiate any of your claims, be they of a business or a personal insult nature. It must be very frustrating for you.

What has happened you? You used to be a really interesting guy to read, informative and progressive. Now you seem to jump down peoples necks, weather its their nationality weather they own a straw blower or if they voted to stay in the eu.

I reckon its because you voted out

Anybody know much about the enegis bale chopper4 ? It is similar to the rest of the machines but also has a hammer mill that can be engaged to chop down til about 2 inches if required for TMR inclusion. It seems to tick all the boxes but just wondering how reliable it is.
