The machine is rated for roughly 3–6 tonnes per hour in the product description and commonly marketed as a 4–6 t/h model. Actual throughput depends on material type, moisture content and feed size—dry, thin straw yields higher throughput than wet, bulky green fodder.
It can cut a wide range of fresh and dry materials including wheat straw, paddy straw, corn stalks, green grass, hay, peanut seedlings, sweet potato seedlings, wild grass and similar roughage for cattle, sheep, horses and pigs.
The chaff cutter can be driven by an electric motor, a diesel engine or by a tractor PTO. Specific motor size or engine power required depends on the model variant—please confirm recommended power ratings with the supplier when ordering.
Yes. The unit is suitable for field operations, especially when driven by a diesel engine or tractor. For stationary use on a farm, an electric motor is typically used.
The product is packaged in a wooden case to protect it during transport.
The machine should be equipped with guards around cutting parts and an emergency stop procedure. Always follow the operator manual: wear protective gear, keep hands and loose clothing away from feed and cutting areas, shut off power before maintenance, and ensure the machine is on level ground during use.
Most chaff cutters allow adjustment of cutting length via different blade configurations, screen sizes or by changing the rotor/blade setup. Check with the supplier for available blade sets or screen options for precise particle length control.
Yes. It can be used as a silage chopper to prepare chopped roughage for ensiling. Proper chopping and moisture control are important for good silage fermentation.
Regular maintenance includes sharpening or replacing blades, checking and tightening belts and fasteners, lubricating bearings and moving parts per the manual, and cleaning the machine after use to prevent buildup and corrosion.
Spare blades and common wear parts are typically available from the manufacturer or dealer. Confirm parts availability and lead times with your supplier before purchase.
The machine is designed to prepare feed for cattle, sheep, horses, pigs and other livestock that consume chopped roughage.
Yes. The machine can produce suitably chopped straw for straw returning (mulching) to fields, improving residue incorporation and decomposition.
Choose electric drive for stationary, farm-based operations with reliable power. Select diesel or tractor PTO drive when you need mobility for field operations or where grid power isn't available. Consider fuel availability, typical operating location and required mobility when deciding.
