Top tip shut cows back and drive up scrape passage 😂 love the commentary from the gaffer too
2 wee people and a packet of biscuits sounds a lot cheaper than a new bedder.... 😉
😁
what I see about those machine's is that you need a tractor , whether it is a straw blower or a feeder
Spread-a-bale? We’ve just got one doesn’t chop up the the straw near as much as a chopper and don’t require a tractor, maybe just a newer forklift
Good to have gatelady do voice over
Great to have Gate Lady dulcet tones on the voice over. 😊😊😊
Go for it. We did 10 years ago. Better beds, less straw usage. If you listen to the machine you can tell when it's going to block.. Just hit the bed reverser.
For us, we move cattle out of the pens. It's just something we always done and it keeps the straw off their backs.
Spreading on a windy day is fun.
Wouldn't be without it now.
Best bet would be if you could get a longer demo to try out the machine. That would help in deciding if it's a benefit to you.
No flat things to stand on? A sure way for more people to get hurt. But hey I'm just an Idiot, that didn't go to school for enough years to come up with that "brilliant" regulation.
So with these silly new designs coming out of no flat edges to stand on, let’s be real you and I are all going to still climb of these things because of the time stress with are under, so now they have just made things far more dangerous when you slip off these sloped edges, people in offices shouldn’t have control over how we should run our farms 😞
Gate Lady should do more voice overs
What about all that dust going into there lungs and eyes. At lest when you roll out bales the cattle are used to you walking around with them
NO, NO, NO ... rolling out straw is better!! Plus when you are in about the coos, you can see better how they're doing. Since Gate Lady is an engineer, she should have done the whole video!!!
Definitely wouldn't be without our bedder...ours is a KV. It saves so much time and uses less straw. Just a tip on loading - I either use a spike and hold the second bale above the horizontal back door, roll it on off the floor once I've cut the net on the side nearest the bedder or roll it off the pallet forks to the rear of the back door once I've cut the net nearest the bedder.
Your shed looks impressive from our side of the valley. The sun was shining off it today...fantastic job 💪
What if the cow gets straw in it's eye. It doesnt have any fingers to get it out, or a mirror handy and it can't ask the cow next to it to help. Im very worried about this Crawford 😂
Try a different brand for a longer demo, will get a better idea. I suggest a Kuhn good machine ran one for years, no problems
We have an Emily bale spreader for square bales. Does not have the same throw as one with a knife drum, but the advantage is less dust. Longer straw provides better carrying capacity for larger animals
bedder makes a mess, dust and mold everywhere and stones shooting through the roof I cant agree it uses less straw I on the other hand got problems with deep trenches because of the shorter straw gives you less structure had one sold it happily bedding with my e-loader and a bale grab now
Hi loon if you have a look at I think it was grassmen they did a visit to teagle. We have a kv bedder and it's great we use less straw and when it comes to cleaning out it's easier.
Great video. PS: gatelady voice overs are brilliant.
We run a teagle 1010 I hear the mchales are good but they don’t make a big enough one for us yet
We just have got a Mchale 460 awsome thing for blowing straw used to take a hour to put a 6x4x3 bale into the pen and move it around 3 pens with a fork now put the bale into the blower and done in 5 minutes wouldn’t be without it now
Often wondered if the cows ever get any eye problems from blowing straw at them
Cant get less issues anyways
I would say bedder is better especially if your using big square bales and are very hard to brake up by hand
That's the most ridiculous machine I've ever seen
Definitely not wood I go back to rolling out bales agen
I can’t believe that thing about no flat surfaces allowed on equipment. That’s insane.
Joe Seels is a big fan of bedders . He would be one to speak to.
I was always worried about the cattle getting straw particles in their eyes.
Nope but now and again stones can be an issue. I feed them and bed up when they are at the barrier eating.
That’s some machine I thought it was a converter…. Normal cows into highland cows
Just going by what I've seen in your videos: time spent on maintenance, machine storage, and hooking it up and blocking a tractor (if theres even one available at all times) just to do the same things (drive bale to shed, drop it in, distribute) with less flexibility doesnt seem like its a good enough time saving for your size operation. Maybe time your manual process minus the steps that are the same with the bedder and see if there's a tangible improvement vs the costs.
Straw beer saves straw saws labour no brainer
Do you have to clean out the drinkers after you use the machine?
What about a spread a bale on the front of the telehandler ?
what about a spreader bale
Dusty even in wet straw
Spredabale ?
Top voice from GL. Happy Birthday for the other day GL.
I would 100% never go back to a pitch fork now after having a bedder, farming knackers our your body enough as it is without heaving straw around daily, let alone what ots doing to your lungs! Personally I shut the animals back and bed up from the scrape passage, saves having to rev the bedder so hard to get the straw over into the bed, less dust and less straw in the rafters as you say 👍👍
Talk to Joe Seeles
I can not live wive out my Teagle beder
How long you had it
Bought a used 08 reco jeantil this year, used on short wheat, long barley, pit silage, baled chopped, non chopped and tmr. Never blocked it yet. With your shed layout it makes total sense from scrape passage if you want no straw in slurry, if your not bothered, scrape, push up feed then blow over cows eating. Not driving tractor or blower in any muck then and keep yard clean 👌
keep it
It looks like you have a new toy
Yeah i have a 8500 teagle older one use it for old hay and strawfor bedding and put round silage in barrier yes you can block it if your pushing to much throw but your quickly learn the sound of machine and know to reverse bed
Saves straw and time 👌
I've a straw blower on our trioliet mixer wagon that i don't use due to the time it takes and mess it creates and if you smoke aset of belts its a 10 hour job to replace, have had trailed kv and mounted jeantill bedders in past and comes down to can roll out upto 9 bales bedding in time takes mixer to mix 2 batches. But being half way through 1200 bales of outside straw this season if someone offered me a spreadabale i wouldnt turn it away!
Mchale c460 here, wouldn't be without it. Never managed to block it up yet 😂
Wintering 330 head. We’ve saved a 1/3 of wheat straw this year after buying a tellihawk and we’ve found the dung more evenly decomposed
We’ve had a Teague bedder for years. But you’ll not have a nice clean shed for very long especially if it’s windy. I wouldn’t be without a bedder.
We have a mchale c460 straw blower, we would never go back to bedding by hand. It’s messing but we can bed 8-900 cattle in under a hour it’s a big time saver and it’s safe. We’ve had a tegale blower before few years ago now but didn’t last 2 minutes compared to the mchale. Hope this helps
I think bedders all look very dusty and from a "stockman" perspective rolling out bales surrounded by cattle gives you opportunity to check cattle for lameness etc
Wouldnt be without our teagle, take 10 minutes max to bed 150 cows with 4 bales a day. would be lost without it. makes so much more use o the straw and leaves a nice fluffy bed. and if you sensible on the spout straw only goes where you want it to :D
To my USA English ear, the gate lady is more understandable. 😂😂😂
I would highly recomend a blower, for straw usage and time saving for such a operation you plan to do. ( up to 100 cows ). Have had a Kverneland and a Mchale and the Mchale is a different league. Regards Tore 8 from Norway )
Hi Crawford. I have had a KV bale chopper for the last six years. Feeding and bedding with it. Change it for a Tegal 8155 this year and it’s a far better machine. I never managed to block it and far quicker that the KV. I wouldn’t be without a bale chopper. I love it.
Wont get your fitness workout if you get a bedder ,pushing bales about warms you up on a cold day ,might need one when you reach 50 odd
Definitely demo a McHale as well . Got one McHale here, wouldnt be without it.
If plan to do shed yourself - so much easier, bed anytime , and saves you in around cattle.
Have about 5k bales through McHale , no problem , round,square, wet or dry .
I'd put it on tractor for one bale if needed bedding now. At current prices saves a nice bit (10-15% on straw)
If you have barns like that, believe me spend one winter with a bedder and you’ll never want to roll bales out again, it’s a faf and waste of time honestly by hand. And to keep the shed’s clean only consists of maintenance!!! So anyways that’s my opinion, I’m sure you’ll make you’re own based on you’re uses for it. Cheers crawford
Bedder is the only machine on farm which gets used every single day. We even have a backup because they usually break at weekends. You are correct about straw everywhere,Just comes down to how many bales you use per day and the time taken. One thing for sure is that once you have one, you;lll never do it manually again...
Crawford
Why dont you put straw on a shelf above where cows lie-down
A chuck straw down when needed
Just a thought 🤷
Good vid tho 😉
We have a trailed bedder and its great. Bed little and often to save straw. They only block if you go too fast. We often bed with dry rushes and feed silage without problems.
We had a straw chopper on demo and I felt it made way to much mess and dust plus if there’s a stone or stones in the bales off straw what’s it going to hit? And I felt bedding cattle buy hand you can also look at the cattle and notice if any off them need attention. We didn’t end up buying one. 😊
Wouldn't be without the bedder, yes can be messy but time lost shuffling cattle in and out of pens to do it manually would be best part of a day lost with 500 cattle.
Never used a bedder but I’m like you, they’re messy and straw ends up everywhere, there’s also the risk of eye infection amongst the cattle. Vermin is also a good point.
We have a teagle and a Lucas and the teagle is would be a more controlled machine but doesn’t chuck as far when the lucas does but it’s less controlled however your better bedding through the scrape passage
Spreadabale is a great bit of kit, but unlikely to be any good with rounds .
Also we wouldn't be without ours now. It saves a good 2 or 3 hours a for 2 people every day. That's just just on straw.
Also we have found that the cattle eat blown bales better then just putting complete bales in front of them.
Bought a Lucas Castor 30R brilliant machine use it to bed cattle and sheep and also to feed round bale haylage you'll never look back.
Everything has pros and cons big man, do whatever your guts going with ! Donkey done a teagle interview on grassmen YT channel recently it was pretty cool. Designed in line with upcoming rules regarding all sloping edges to discourage climbing on/in !
🤣That machine is funny, just throwing the straw at the cows.
Got a spreadabale last year, you’d NEVER go back.
Nice machine we have a spread a bale now about 6 or 7 years on the jcb 536 works very well for us and never let us down but the blower maybe suits some people better
Hope your paying the kids well.😉😂
I wonder about the effects on cattle health when you're blowing all that dust and straw around and on them.
Ye were very lucky to get the win over Wales . I thought surely at half time Scotland were in for a cricket shoreline in the end it was tight 😊
Spreadabale aren’t as messy as it’s not chopped and blown only spread like dung spreader mchale still best bedder blower
Should have had it going on a windy day to see how far it can direct the straw, wet straw always directs easier.
I would strongly recommend that you try the McHale one. They are far better for straw and silage we hardly ever block ours up.
This is true we have one used to have a tegal it was useless
We went from a Teagle to a mchale too. Great machine for silage bales and far more blowing power for straw.
Should try a spread a bale less dust on the shed and with your shed it would work well
Your young straw bedders are coming on you won't need a tractor driven one 😂
Love the child labour. Plus yellow lab, the best colour labrador. 😊
I think that was the quickest demo on record!!!
Mabye a speada bale wood suit u abit better ???
I'd leave getting the teagle and get a battery for the digger 😂
Great video Crawford as always 💪👌
Loving the new electricky sheds
Would never do without one and you do use less straw
It saves so much time when you need to get back out to the field
best thing is a bedder saves one straw
Go gate lady with all that spec ☺
Joe seels, is the man to talk too
I don’t think you need a straw bedder I can’t lie not enough need for it like we have 4 sheds to bed every 2 nd day makes more sense but your only 1 shed thjnk it would be a waste but it makes better use of the straw less wasting if that makes any sense
👍🏼
Spead a bale! Less dusty
Great straw choppers 👍🏻
Neighbour of mine beds from scrape passage, he has scraper mounted on tractor loader and scrapes passage ahead of himself while bedding, gets two jobs done in one hit. Might not suit your situation but is a neat setup
Smart idea
Would suit your setup if you were to build a midden opposite the door of shed but at the same time your loading into trailer setup is a tidy way of doing things
Don’t get a bedder.
Reasons?
@@CrawfordsFarm1 because stone cold said so.. just as you say it gets everywhere, bedding up get to look at stock better. In my humble opinion.
@@CrawfordsFarm1 if I was gonna have one I’d have a mchale tho.
Great video Crawford. Enjoyed watching 👍🏼👍🏼
Watch for the drum blocking at the front,spent many an happy hour cleaning one out,but great machine saves a lot of time
