It's a Luck Now 2350. Only a few years old.
It takes a good 30 minutes to chew up a fescue bale, with some of it boiling over in the process.
Of course that's just our experience with the machine. I'm sure the bigger machines with two rotors make short work out of a bale.
Judging by the pic is a smaller lightweight mixer and the larger bales are just too big for it, thus the spillage. Jed posted pics of his on here one time and it's even larger than the one we had and hooked up to a large tractor with rpm's where they should be there is no problem grinding even extremely high moisture bailage in addition to all the other ingredients that go into the TMR.
