Telehandler mounted straw chopper

[philib]

Anybody used one on a telehandler
Like a Lucas raptor g or telehawk
Looking at options to speed up bedding calf house having just increased its size by 50 %
Pens at 90 degrees to central passage
Or should I not even think of using a straw blower with young calves
Thanks

You might struggle with a PTO machine?

Would need a big hydraulic motor to power it.

Why not a Spreadabale?

You can have them "sideways" on the machine

Thanks will have a look

I have a teleporter demo machine over in Castlecomer if you want to try it...

How much poke have these things got? They look a lot handier than the spreadable things?

They stop blowing where the trailed pto ones start , they are not handier than spb you can’t see fudge all fir the rotor can’t see what the bale is doing or where your going , just my personal findings.

Last sentence spot on. As our cattle have generally got younger over the years we use ours less and less to the point where I’ll be selling mine soon. IMO from experience nothing under six months should be bedded with a blower, asking for niggling troubles their immature lungs can’t cope with the daily exposure to the dust, also the cumulative effect can’t be good

Can they throw it 20 feet?

Using a spread a bale at the minute and find poking it over the feed rail a pain in the chuff, be far better to drive along the feed barrier and throw it into the shed at 90 degrees.

No need to see the bale as can see what is happening in the pen easy enough. Wonder what they are like to load from the shed.

Trailed PTO machine is a non-starter as you need another tractor and you need a loader to load it anyway. Telehandler needs to do the lot.

It clearly doesn't blow as far as the pto version.. This vid may answer some of your questions.

What about an altec straw spreader, got a friend with one and he loves it.

3 in 1 Straw Spreading Machine | Straw Spreader

Altec Straw spreaders will load their own bale, spread straw and feed haylage or silage, regardless of the condition of the straw and bales available.

does that have a separate control box on cab for bed/spout/blower functions?

No idea, I guess it must have something, what with the 4 extra functions to do. I'd be more concerned about the weight, I've a mounted version and its boss of a 100hp tractor even with a full set of weights...

I think that this conversion by @Monty could be suitable as less torque would spread better without stuffing the eaves so much.? Round bale straw chopper spreader thingy. Visibility wouldn’t matter too much as it goes everywhere.? Maybe with modifications since his last post the machine is less wild now??

I think one brand uses a bluetooth controller?

Tegal do its good but I’ve no experience on the durability side .
