Tomahawk 8250

Customer Review

Gavin Rodda runs a 330-cow dairy herd at Rosemorran Farm, Cornwall, producing an average of 9500 litres. Milk produced under contract for Cathedral City branded cheese, which demands the constituents and quality of the milk are consistently high.

Gavin says "The straw is chopped short with clean cut ends. By chopping as needed keeps the straw fresh which the cows find more palatable, increasing intake and reducing waste for the dung pile”

Pre-process straw to save time and fuel

Achieving 64,000 chops per minute, this reduces diet feeder mixing time and prevents silage over-processing.

The 8555 delivers a short chop length of 50mm, ideal for feeding and enhancing rumen stimulation, which can increase milk yields.
