Portable Choppers
The Newhouse portable bale chopper/bale feeder is equipped with 20,000 lb. axles with flotation tires for various ground conditions. Pintle chains carry the bales to the cutter head. The chains enter a slotted incline to lift the baled hay away from the risers and prevent hay from being pulled around the sprockets and wasted on the ground below. Plain/Smooth, Plated/Smooth or Plated/Serrated knives are available. Tailgate can be folded down to accommodate up to six large bales or up to nine mid-size bales at one loading. The Big Bale Hay Chopper is able to convert up to 16 tons per hour.
