  • This did not go as expected. But the end result was worth the work! Working with our awesome neighbor on our split pond build project and trying to get the dam secured before winter. Used Dirt Perfects tandem axle dump truck to haul in two loads of rip rap to repair an eroding drainage ditch. Then we borrowed his new to him straw blower to get all the seed and straw spread. Broke down on us at first, but we got it fixed and got the job done! hope you enjoy.

    Looks good Mikey! For future reference the bale chopper is designed to take an entire bale at a time. If the knives inside are sharp, you dont even need to cut the twine on the bale, but if they get dull then the twine will jamb up the knives. More rpm's means great chopping power and better throwing distance. but I am sure you figured that part out.

    Can't wait to see this next spring when the grass has come up. That was the craziest looking chicken I've seen in quite some time. Was it wearing a Halloween costume? Lol. Have a blessed and safe week, and please stay healthy.
