Hey Clayton, This is something you never see here in Wi. at least not where i live, so I have to ask these questions. Why do you grind your hay? also do you take the stings and net wrap off before grinding, if not doesn't it wrap?

I would say that around 75% of the cattleman grind around here. It improves the palatability and you have less waste. You can also mix in some lower quality hay when grinding and they will eat it. A lot of guys mix some grain and silage in with a tmr or a chuck wagon by layering it when you load it. It is usually fed in a feed bunk or in inside out tractor tires out in the pastures. Most of the feedlots also have ground hay in their rations. As for the twine and rap most every body just leaves it on. You have to clean the hammer mill in the grinder off every once in a while. The twine will wrap on it somewhat. I think the net wrap grinds up pretty well. I have never personally ground net wrap though. I used to do a lot of grinding when I worked for my cousin but that was when they still had a twine baler.

not to hijack Claytons post but heres another one. dad and our 4450  our neighbor Jim and his 4450  dad and the guy who owns the grinder(Jerry) switching screens to go to cane.  here kitty kitty kitty, never killed it but have come awful close a time or two  and all our hay is net wrapped and we dont take it off, so far havent had any trouble. Just have to clean the augers on the mixer wagon alittle more often. |

I don't think the 4430 could keep up with that giant by itself. ;D
