[QUOTE="Serup, post: 7786400, member: 568"] I have had a 8555 for almost 3 years now. Bought it to replace a 18 year old Kuhn primor 3560 because i wanted to chop straw for my tmr mixer. We run 5-6 bales through it per day. About 5 per week is chopped. To be honest it has been a horrible experience. We have spend more on maintenance than we did on the Kuhn all it’s life and we have had so many problems i can’t remember them all. the chop lenght when chopping is also very inconsistent, and a lot of long straw go through. Our plan was to use some for bedding cubicles, but my slurry system can’t handle all the long straw. My dry cows also sort at least half of the straw out of the ration because it’s too long. Every time we put some wet straw through, the screen needs removing for cleaning, before it can chop straw. I really like the idea of the machine, but in pracis it has been a big disappointment and a money pit. Parts are also horrendously priced - some wear parts are more than 10x the price for the Kuhn. Other dealers won’t pay much for it, so it is very expensive to get rid of. Picture of chopped straw. [/QUOTE]
