Biggest thing that makes them viable is you use the straw you need. If you just drop a bale in and spread by hand you’ll use it all, regardless of how much they need. With that you will use half the straw. No experience with a mchale one, we have at teagle 808 that we bought new about 15 years ago and still going. Had the odd bearing and rotted panel, but that’s just the ‘farmer effect’-I.e don’t beleive in grease guns and/or washing it

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Completely agree with the bit about you use the right amount with a blower. We try to grease up every two weeks, specially in winter

[@derredriver]

Standing in front of the straw chopper is extremely dangerous if there's stones in the bale they come out like bullets .

[@MrJonah53]

Saw half a brick go through once, knocked a length of space boarding off the back wall.

Can't train stupid...🤷‍♂️

[@tmdavid1332]

Just remember "Danger doesn't take a day off".... I cringed, I've seen stones take yorkshire boarding out

[@damiencrowley9299]

Had a nife fall off the rotor and in through a cows leg with 1 🤔🤔 not a safe thing to b standing in front of trust me

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Hold my hands up. Didn’t really think at the time. Learning curve for my self and hopefully anyone younger watching.

[@spiercephotography]

Tom, I LOVE how passionate your Dad is about explaining the reasoning/functions behind why you guys are trying things out/bringing new equipment onto the farm and their purposes. He's so analytical, and it helps me learn ! It looks like it contributes nicely and saves you some time/wasted hay!

[@SD43]

Well said.

[@markjackson4045]

We went away from mchale because we demoed a kidd and was twice the job of the mchale before the mchale we had a teagle but it was abit soft the mchale was god but kidd better

[@PurplePumpkin18]

I love how excited your father is about this shiney new toy. Enjoy!

[@dice3704]

Ots so admirable that you keep your cows so well and with proper bedding and clean, it's hard work . My grandma used to say " milk cow wants a servant " , im not a farmer but I saw that most other animals don't need that much work as milk cows. Thank you for letting us be a part of it and hopefully become more grateful for the milk or meat we get from farmers .

[@PVAglue-fi4kc]

The straw blowers suit the enclosed sheds like the new one, messy bedding open sheds on windy days. Watch out for stone bullets when you're in the firing line. Check out led lights fitted to the manitou on "Farming life at La Forge" Tom, if you're looking to brighten your own up for the Christmas .

Time saving, straw saving, Dads back saving.... Time to spend some savings I recon Tom. 😄👍

[@randolphbutler1832]

What great support provided by your vendor as TOM shows all the different features. Appears to be a great time and body saver. The girls don’t seem to be bothered by the new kit. Thanks for sharing. 🐄🚜😷👍

[@popquizzz]

at 2:30 , that new machine looks good with that new bin in the background. The farm is modernizing.

[@4DModding]

There are 3 models in the range, and there is a plate you can add to feed silage with it (have a look at the Grassmen video from 2 weeks ago where mchale show how it works)

[@cilliangalvin8646]

Eeey its 4D modding! Love your work❤️

[@JSJFarms]

I am thankful that you show us the real life fun of being a farmer.

[@prjndigo]

If you toss your baleage (silage) into it to blow it into a mixer you get a much finer silage too. Makes it go easier on the mixer to run it in while it's mixing. You can put a bolt hole in the last bit of the chute and clamp in a wedge to split the spray into a pair of tracks to get a better spread too. Also to what Joseph Parker said above it roughs the straw up pretty good - crumpling and splitting it up - and makes it work better as bedding as well. You can dump in a foot of sawdust then throw a bale on top and push both... will make very quick work of pigfeed too. XD

[@KATSUvo]

Thanks for making and showing us your daily life. Such a beautiful lifestyle.

[@niccodeamus1]

I have a mounted Teagle blower, best tool I’ve ever bought. Went for mounted as it’s easier to reverse down narrow yards. Getting in the way of the blowing could hurt if you have any stones in your straw, but the cattle don’t seem to mind. Saves a fortune in straw, little and often

[@philipfleming3546]

Tom, great to see your Dad is looking forward to updating an upgrading to dairy farm. It will help make things easier for him an you.

[@novamyth9]

Your dad gets so excited when he talks mechanics. It’s cute.

[@kevinlesch9656]

Few years ago I picked up an old kidd bale chopper. Best piece of equipment I ever bought! It's very rough but it'll chop bedding hay just fine. Here in the states sawdust and straw are pricey. I still use them in certain situations, but old or poor quality hay makes great everyday bedding as long as it's chopped.

[@michelabossiere6621]

You have a very nice operation you and ginger make a great team would love and visit you guys and your beautiful country one day once covid is over we have cattle operation and custom service in Canada. great job tom keep it up love your video

[@KingVonfrm65th]

wow first time watching one of your vides would absolutley reccomen them mate great job ;)

[@SlipShodBob]

We love our straw chopper, it saves so much time and cost of bedding 1 4ft round bale will usually do two 60ftx24ft pens depending on how dense the bale is though ours is a 3pt type one as our 80ft shed we have to reverse up a 8.5ft wide passage only time I still put two or three bales in a pen is if we are feeding straw. Admittedly it is also part or the reason we winter shear as the sheep run into it but we have also found they're more comfortable in the shed shorn anyway and it causes less problems at lambing as we can pick up on problems more easily. It also means the lambs suck on a teat rather than trying to suck a clump of wool which 70% were doing the last year we didn't shear leaving us to have to teach them.

[@paulparnell3839]

Great video looked like a nice piece of kit keep the videos coming and Happy Farming

Your Father is my favorite to watch with his happiness about new machinery.

[@JayyD177]

We bought a second hand teagle 8080 straw chopper in 2013, still going strong, love it to peace's saves time and labour but as everyone says in the comments, dust and stones can be fatal, we've been lucky up to now, avoided aiming directly at the cattle, try to aim to the floor, recently been looking to swap for a McHale like this so looking forward to your overall review, keep it up👍

[@shanewhelan6492]

Tom I’d be always worried about stones being in the straw and cause injury to one of the animals using a straw blower, they’ll be like bullets

[@janetrivas1793]

Farming has come a long way & I love seeing all of it - thanks ☺️

[@phillipwhite1142]

Good bit of kit Tom. A lot safer than going into the yard to bed up you’d think. However we found that when we used this the cattle were a bugger to weigh and generally handle as not going in everyday took the human element away. Cattle became wilder and jumpy in crushes in runs and that side became more dangerous and time consuming. In the end we sold it and went back to bedding up by hand everyday.

[@Shortzy54]

I absolutely love the big ginge!! I could listen to him talk all day!!!!!

[@babilx6216]

[@oliverhaines4549]

We've got one of those and it makes bedding down a lot easier. They say it safes straw but the ideal way is to do it twice a day

[@LeRogaie]

We do it twice a day as well! Handy machine btw, I'd say essential!

[@oliverhaines4549]

We do some pens twice a day but not all. It also means we can be bedding down whilst milking as you don't need to open an close gates for the telehandler to get in each pen

[@samheal9383]

We got one and it’s brilliant, use it for feeding silage bales and bedding cattle up. Be interesting to see what it’s like on sawdust, we put wood chip through and seemed to be fine

[@owling2005]

Looks really good and looks like it'll make your lives easier

[@craigdavey8326]

I think in the McHale you can stop the front beater on the control box? This would be a great benefit as it stops that first bit or last bit of straw/silage falling in the fly and blocking it after the pro's been stopped.

[@christinegibbins6105]

With ours the baler picks up the odd stone and they rattle on the stanchions, and the seeds germinate on the bullock's back and some would have a green layer growing on them!!! Its a useful bit of kit, ours is a Teagale,

[@michaelswift4448]

Very good video Tom looking forward to seeing it in a another video with sawdust working love watching your videos

[@lukeculwick3390]

My mate bought an old one and they reckoned it halved there straw usage

[@stephaniejohnson3341]

Another awesome and educational vid!! You ROCK!!

[@bethfoster6591]

Looks powerful enough for the bedding. And, going through one bale instead of two will definitely be cheaper.👍👏

[@michelerandall123]

The cows seem so happy with the nice fluffy bedding they can eat or lay on. Nowdays the weather is so cold, wet and miserable for all livestock and they appreciate being warm and dry.

[@terrypickthall4107]

I’m absolutely loving your videos tom, please keep up the exceptional work, loved seeing the straw shoot across into the barn, very satisfying! 😀😀😀

Hi Tom I recently bought a Teagle trailed straw chopper and would not be without it now.Teagle is also built locally in Cornwall .

The straw blowers are great unless you have anything within a 3 mile radius that you don’t want covering in dust

[@MayorofDipshittery-lq7if]

Always worry about eye infection & foreign bodies in cattle’s eye when using these things.

[@rachaelmorrow6669]

Agree. And I would add the particles bothering their lungs and breathing as a concern.

[@Brooke_RS197]

Without a doubt, a straw chopper is the best bit of kit we have bought on our farm (aside from the Telehandler) in the last 30 years, it's genuinely cut my work load by a third! Sent you a picture of the style we have on Instagram!

[@conor7187]

I'm jealous of that new shed. It looks like a dream to work in. Easy feeding, easy bedding (with this machine) and seems like easy movement of cattle. Our shed is cramped in comparison

[@acresofclayhomestead]

That demo sure does make bedding look a whole lot easier! Great video!!

[@anitarogan9715]

I like the bale chooper your dad is happy with it 😀

[@walzy0910]

I prefer the tegal Tom blows a long distance at 1250rpm and have it between 4.5 and 5 on the speed setting for dry bales and around 3.5 and 4 of wet bales on dry bales you want to make sure your moving abit quicker in the tractor as you will get a nice even spread but don’t forget to move the spout up and down as it does help to stop it building up too much at the wall love the videos by the way and what a cracking shed all the best from your fellow farmers here in Cambridgeshire

[@ryanoshea1260]

We have bedded saw dust with a blower and it worked okay at the start but used to leave piles of it at the door what it could not get out, the more times you loaded it with the sawdust the more was stuck in it

[@johnlong3214]

They're less effort, save time and straw but create a lot of dust and the cattle have no choice but to breath that in. 👍

[@IONLYPLAYCODFTW]

Was thinking the same I wouldn’t use it on a dairy farm

[@classicambo9781]

Was wondering about eye health too.

[@mikeman584]

It appears to make a lot of sense from an economic point of view and also very importantly from a safety point of view those are large beef animals . Also time pressures on a winter farm routine this machine has got to be helpful. Love the way the farm is developing and the way you interface and manage the business with all its various aspects. I include yourself Tom your Dad and your mum who I feel is in the background but very importantly keeping an eye on the pennies. I feel there will be further announcements in the near future tractor wise because the Hurliman can't keep carrying the main tractor burden tho it has been a fantastic servant. Keep safe one and all.
