Baler mounted chopper HAY & FORAGE HARVESTING Accessories 15-2-22 Deutz Fahr Co. introduced this first-of-itskind baler-mounted chopper that works great for silage bales and straw.
The GP230 Opticut mounts on the company's standard 4-ft. round baler between the pickup and bale-forming mechanism. The baler pickup is moved forward and a rotor equipped with spiral pronged forks is mounted behind it. In straw, the rotor does all the chopping. But in hay or grass, a set of spring-loaded knives mounted on the forks improves chopping. Main benefit is that 10 to 20% more material can be squeezed into a bale, especially important with bagged silage bales. The company also claims feed value of silage bales is increased.
