Save Time and Fuel

Time and fuel can be saved by
processing straw prior to it being
added to the ration in a diet feeder.
Over 65,000 chops per minute
offers fast and consistent output

No Over Processing

Pre-process straw so that the
diet feeder does not need to
mix for as long, to prevent over
processing the ration.

Short Chop Length

Chopping down to an average of 2”, with clean cut ends, means you can produce the ideal material for feeding to create effective rumen stimulation and increased milk yields.

Technical Specifications

Crossbeater

Straw is teased from the bale by hooks on the crossbeater.

Blades

When the blades are lowered, straw is chopped using a scissor action.

Screen

The straw then passes through a quick change calibrating screen
located behind the knife cassette. If the straw is too long it is recirculated
through the blades by the crossbeater. A 11/2” screen is supplied as
standard, with other diameters available.

Baffle Plate

When the blades and baffle plate are raised, straw passes above the
screen and is discharged, without being chopped.

3 Operating Modes

Now you can also process clamp and baled silage with the Tomahawk 8555. The screen which is usually fitted to ensure a consistently short chop length, is now removable through the side of the machine and an optional bypass frame is fitted.
