[QUOTE="bmoore87, post: 1391365, member: 21684"] The ones we have owned and used Kuhn knight & patz (500 cubic foot range) somewhere in between what your both saying while they don't take 30 minutes to grind it does take longer than if using tub ground hay in as good reel mixer especially the new helix reels and doesn't grind the bale before you can turn around unless extremely dry alfalfa. Tougher made hay can take longer and the hay can boil over but we put hay retention kits on them and it helps keep it in and grind. I like doing it for calves but we stopped doing it for the cows. Its not efficient or as quick to grind that much hay so we set out bales based on weight for so many days and fill out any extra hay we need In the mixer with silage, ryelage corn and byproducts. It takes less time and saves on knives and wear. Like I said tire feeders are $20-30 and work just as good as feed bunks. Used verticals can be had for under 10k that would work for a smaller herd.
