Straw chopper feedback

[mghley]

Looking for a 2nd hand straw chopper to bed cattle yards and sheep yards, not wanting to spend a fortune £2000/£3000.
Been looking at Teagle 80/80 trailed, are they any good ?? Or other model recommendations
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks MGH

We have a trailed KV chopper here that would be worth that sort of money. It’s been no problem since we stopped putting silage bales through it.

At that price buy on condition and/or spec.
they're all much of a muchness if it's just for straw.
just narrow it down to wether you want cable or electric controls. Straight or swivel spout.
swivel won't blow as far but will be handier if you have funny shaped sheds etc

What are the pros and cons of different controls

Electric far nicer and easier to use but will command a price premium and a bit more to go wrong if not looked after.
cables are pretty idiot/bomb proof

I had a KV 832 for 15 years and was a good machine, allthough didn’t like damp straw and the side arm chute would block, chute could have done with being larger.
Controls were a spool block on the machine, downside you had to reach out of back window to operate, plus side they never give any bother which can be important especially as machines get older.
Far better build quality than the Teagle I have now and less trouble in 15 years than the Teagle in 3

For that price, don't expect too much at this time of the year !!

Got this for 2400 a month ago, it's a fantastic machine compared to my old teagle, swival spout is a real plus for awkward sheds, cable controls arent as refined but to my mind better as I can fix them... Oh and its more manoeuvrable being mounted with no tyres to go flat on a Sunday morn

It will be shagged at that age, just scrap
