tub grinder

Help Support CattleToday:

May just be semantics but to me a tub grinder is used for nothing other than grinding and blowing the ground hay into a storage area such as a commodity barn. A vertical mixer wagon is used for both grinding hay and mixing other ingredients in with it to make up a TMR.
 
Quite a few farmers use tub grinders here. It is what we call them too. Most use them with silage, and then mix in mineral, dry hay matter, and straw to make a ration which is blown into feed bunks. Some have cut out the centers of the big tires 2feet deep...looks from the road..and blows it in there. Some make wooden or cement feed bunks

Spendy way to make a ration. Common on large dairies that feed a high percentage of silage. Also works in large back grounding yards that utilize a lot of by products.
