Straw choppers

[hally]

Operator must be to blame for a machine to fall to bits spreading straw?! Had a teagle 8100 for 3 years now and only broken one shear bolt this year with some real sh** straw. Not saying it’s better than other makes but had no reason not to buy it. And it’s british!!

We had a 8100 as well, the first 3 years were great but the next 3 were not so good to say the least. We know have a Mchale which is a totally different beast.

What’s the difference?
I’m in year 2 of using a teagle 8100. Never put a foot wrong, and I use it for straw and fairly wet misshapen silage bales. Blue tooth connection is simple too!

Basically build, it’s a lot heavier machine with higher output. The speed the Mchale puts silage out would block the teagle no question. Only time will tell about longevity

Fills me with dread for next year onwards !

Not necessarily, you may be kinder than the rough arse here
