[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1751617, member: 26138"] I've seen the Vermeer marketing on chopped bales. They say a cow will take a bite of hay, chew on the middle and the ends fall to the ground, wasted. If the bales are prechopped into strips there are no ends to waste. It makes sense I guess, I have never watched a cow eat to verify. Ours still pick and sort through the best stuff just to be a pain in the rear. We have a 604 Pro. Not actually a Vermeer baler, it's a Welger with Vermeer stickers. It's been pretty good. We don't chop any of our dry hay. They make a huge mess when you cut the net off and you can't really unroll them, you just get a big pile that might stretch 50ft. What we chop goes through the mixer, which helps considerably in processing time. Not as good as a forage chopper, but nowhere near the expense. [/QUOTE]
