Where the 9F-70 Fits: Your Complete Forage-to-Feed Chain<\/h2>\n

Most livestock operations already have most of the forage chain in place \u2014 a mower, a rake, and a baler. The 9F-70 closes the last gap between stored whole bales and ready-to-feed processed forage. Without a dedicated feed crusher<\/strong>, that gap is filled by one of three compromises: hand-feeding whole bales (which creates sorting and wastage), purchasing a separate forage harvester (which is expensive and time-specific), or buying processed feed at retail prices (which eliminates the economic value of owning your own forage production system).<\/p>\n

Adding a dedicated forage feed crusher<\/strong> like the 9F-70 to an established forage production system is the most capital-efficient way to recover value from stored bales. This full chain \u2014 from our hay rake lineup<\/a> through our round baler lineup<\/a> to the 9F-70 feed crusher \u2014 can be sourced from one supplier, serviced from one U.S. parts warehouse, and supported by one technical team that understands how each component connects to the next.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The 9F-70 connects to the tractor’s rear PTO at 540 rpm and is supported by the rear three-point hitch Category I or II. It requires no hydraulic remote outlet \u2014 operation is entirely mechanical once PTO is engaged. The U.S. team confirms tractor compatibility from your tractor model and serial number before the forage crusher<\/strong> ships.<\/p>\n

The Feeding Math: Does the 9F-70 Cover Your Herd’s Daily Requirement?<\/h2>\n

Before specifying any feed crusher<\/strong>, the productive capacity needs to be confirmed against actual daily feed demand. The table below works backward from herd size to daily crusher run time \u2014 the number that determines whether you can fully process your herd’s forage needs within a single morning’s work or whether multiple passes are needed.<\/p>\n

\n
Assumptions for calculation<\/div>\n
Dry hay bale: 600 kg average (1.25 m round). Daily dry matter intake: dairy cow 22\u201326 kg DM; beef cow 10\u201314 kg DM; growing steer 8\u201311 kg DM. Crusher throughput at mid-speed, 12 mm screen: 5.5 t\/hr (dry hay). Values are indicative; confirm with your nutritionist for ration-specific requirements.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Planning note:<\/strong> All 9F-70 run times above fall under 2 hours per day for herd sizes up to 500 head of cattle. For mixed-species operations (e.g. 200 dairy cows + 300 beef stockers), add the daily forage volumes and run the crusher in a single session before morning feeding.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Particle Size Control: Choosing the Right Screen for Your Feeding Program<\/h2>\n

The output particle size of the 9F-70 forage feed crusher<\/strong> is determined by which screen is installed. Screens are interchangeable \u2014 swapping takes approximately 15 minutes \u2014 and four standard hole diameters are available. The correct choice depends on the animal species, the feeding system (direct feed vs TMR mixer), and whether the processed forage will be mixed with grain or fed as a standalone roughage source.<\/p>\n

Screen swap tip:<\/strong> Screens are retained by four bolts accessible from the underside of the crusher housing. Keep at least two screen sizes on hand during feeding season \u2014 changing from 12 mm (daily TMR) to 8 mm (bedding production from spare straw) takes under 20 minutes and extends the machine’s productive hours beyond just the daily ration processing job.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Working Principle: How the 9F-70 Hammer Mill Processes Forage<\/h2>\n

The 9F-70 feed crusher<\/strong> operates on the horizontal-shaft free-swinging hammer mill<\/strong> principle \u2014 the same mechanical basis used in commercial grain hammer mills, scaled and respecified for the lower-density, higher-moisture-range characteristics of forage material. Understanding the three-phase processing cycle explains why the freely-swinging hammer design consistently outperforms fixed-blade choppers on variable-density forage inputs.<\/p>\n

Phase 1 \u2014 Feed Entry and Initial Impact<\/h3>\n

Forage material \u2014 either loose hay fed through the top inlet or bale fragments delivered by a front-loading tractor \u2014 enters the feed inlet at the top of the housing. The 700 mm rotor, spinning at PTO-driven speed, presents 36 hardened steel hammers in four staggered rows. The first hammer impact fractures the forage stem structure along its natural fiber lines rather than cutting perpendicular to the grain, which is why hammer-milled forage retains a rougher, more absorbent particle surface than disc-cut forage \u2014 a characteristic that affects both TMR mixing performance and rumen fermentation rate.<\/p>\n

\"9F-70<\/p>\n

Phase 2 \u2014 Circulation and Repeated Impact<\/h3>\n

Material that does not immediately pass through the screen after the first hammer contact circulates within the housing, receiving multiple hammer impacts on each revolution. The freely-swinging mount of each hammer is mechanically significant: when a hammer strikes a dense knot or hard section in a hay stem, the swing-mount allows it to deflect backward momentarily, absorbing the overload impact without transmitting it as a shock load through the rotor shaft and into the gearbox drive circuit. Fixed-blade designs transmit all such loads directly to the drive mechanism \u2014 which is why hammer mills consistently outlast fixed-blade choppers on hard, irregular forage inputs.<\/p>\n

Phase 3 \u2014 Screen Classification and Discharge<\/h3>\n

Only particles that have been reduced below the screen hole diameter pass through the bottom screen and exit the housing. Oversized particles remain inside and continue to receive hammer impacts. This self-classifying action guarantees that the screen diameter is also the maximum particle size in the output \u2014 there is no distribution tail of oversized particles that bypasses the screen. The classified output discharges through the bottom, typically into a ground pile, a conveyor, or directly into a mixer wagon tub.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bale Type Compatibility: What the 9F-70 Accepts<\/h2>\n

The 9F-70 forage crusher<\/strong> processes any forage material that can be fed through its 700 mm inlet. The practical method for most operations is to open or slice the bale with a knife and feed sections to the inlet using a front-loader or bucket tractor. The inlet width of 700 mm accommodates sections from round bales of any diameter \u2014 the bale is positioned on the front loader, the net wrap or twine is removed, and the tractor pushes sections into the inlet at a rate that maintains steady inlet pressure without overloading the rotor.<\/p>\n

Four Livestock Operations That Benefit Most From the 9F-70<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

\ud83d\udc04 Commercial Dairy \u2014 TMR Integration<\/strong><\/p>\n

Large dairy operations running 200 to 600 cows on a total mixed ration (TMR) program face a consistent processing challenge: whole-bale hay cannot be loaded directly into a TMR wagon, and the forage particle length after manual flaking is too variable for nutritionist-specified ration formulas. The 9F-70 feed crusher<\/strong> at a 12 mm screen produces a consistent short-chop hay particle that mixes uniformly with grain and protein supplements in the wagon, eliminating the sorting behavior that reduces DMI on fiber-selective dairy herds. Wisconsin and Minnesota dairy operations of 250 to 400 cows routinely process their full daily forage requirement in a single 90-minute morning session before the AM milking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\ud83d\udc02 Beef Cow-Calf \u2014 Winter Feeding Efficiency<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cow-calf operations in the northern Plains and Rocky Mountain states that winter-feed on native grass and meadow hay stored in round bales face a specific logistics challenge: whole-bale feeding produces 15 to 30% forage waste from sorting and trampling, which compounds across 120 to 150 winter feeding days into a significant wasted inventory value. Processing through the 9F-70 forage crusher<\/strong> at an 8 to 10 mm screen reduces sorting by providing uniform particles that cattle consume without selecting, cutting winter hay waste from the typical 20\u201325% on whole bales to under 8% on processed forage. For a 300-cow herd feeding 4 bales per day, that waste reduction translates to 20 to 35 fewer bales needed per winter \u2014 effectively paying for the machine in two to three seasons on forage alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\ud83c\udf3e Stocker and Feedlot \u2014 Ration Roughage Supplement<\/strong><\/p>\n

Backgrounding and stocker operations in Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas that feed high-grain growing rations require a controlled inclusion of roughage to maintain rumen health. The 9F-70 feed crusher<\/strong> processes stored hay at 16 mm screen to produce a short-chop particle that can be weighed and mixed with ground grain or distillers grains at the specified roughage percentage without creating feed sorting at the bunk. Consistent particle size at the ration mix-in level is critical for preventing sub-acute ruminal acidosis (SARA) on high-concentrate growing programs \u2014 and it is only achievable when the roughage source is processed to a target particle length, not flaked from whole bales.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\ud83d\udc11 Small Ruminant and Specialty Livestock Operations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sheep, goat, alpaca, and horse operations that purchase or grow round bales of hay face the mismatch between commercial bale formats (produced at 500\u2013750 kg for cattle operations) and the daily intake requirements of small ruminants. A 600 kg alfalfa bale feeds 400 ewes for one day \u2014 but a whole bale cannot be stored open without moisture intrusion and mold risk. The 9F-70 forage feed crusher<\/strong> processes one bale per session into a day’s supply of short-chop hay that can be accurately weighed into individual feeding trays or mixed with mineral supplements, with the leftover processed forage sealed in bags for next-day use without the spoilage risk of an open whole bale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Six Technical Advantages That Make the 9F-70 the Practical Choice<\/h2>\n

\"9F-70<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\ud83d\udd28<\/div>\n

Freely-Swinging 65Mn Hammers<\/strong><\/p>\n

65Mn spring steel hammers heat-treated to HRC 48\u201352 are reversible \u2014 when one face wears below the critical threshold, flip the hammer to expose the unworn face and continue at full performance. Each hammer delivers approximately two full service lives before replacement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\ud83d\udd04<\/div>\n

Interchangeable Screens \u2014 15-Minute Swap<\/strong><\/p>\n

Four hole-diameter options (8, 10, 12, 16 mm) on the same machine. Change screen for different feeding programs, animal species, or bedding production without any tooling change beyond a standard wrench. Keep all four screens in the toolbox and switch as needed for the day’s ration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u2699\ufe0f<\/div>\n

No Hydraulic Requirement<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 9F-70 operates entirely from the rear PTO \u2014 no rear hydraulic remote outlets, no electrical harness beyond the PTO driveshaft. Any tractor from 50 HP upward with a working 540 rpm rear PTO can run it, including older fleet tractors without functional hydraulics or those reserved for specific non-hydraulic tasks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\ud83d\udcca<\/div>\n

Screen-Guaranteed Maximum Particle Size<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unlike disc choppers and tub grinders, the screen-classification mechanism guarantees that no particle above the screen hole diameter exits the machine. Nutritionists formulating TMR rations can specify the screen setting as a defined particle size input in ration calculations \u2014 a level of consistency that chopper-based systems cannot provide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\ud83c\udf21\ufe0f<\/div>\n

Low Moisture Sensitivity<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 9F-70 processes forage across the full moisture range from air-dry (12%) to moderate-moisture haylage (45%). Above 45% moisture, material tends to mat on the screen rather than pass cleanly \u2014 for higher-moisture silage processing, pair the 9F-70 with the 9YCM-850 silage baler-wrapper<\/a> to preserve high-moisture material intact for separate processing at a lower moisture point.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\ud83d\udd27<\/div>\n

Simple Maintenance Profile<\/strong><\/p>\n

The machine has three service points: hammer wear inspection (flip or replace), rotor shaft bearing grease (NLGI-2, every 50 hours), and PTO driveshaft lubrication. There are no belts, no chains, no hydraulic cylinders, and no electronic sensors in the core crushing mechanism. Annual service takes under two hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

PTO Driveline at Full Continuous Load<\/h2>\n
\"PTO<\/div>\n

The 9F-70 forage feed crusher<\/strong> is a high-inertia machine \u2014 the rotor assembly at 700 mm diameter maintains significant rotational mass once up to speed, but the start-up torque demand and the torque spikes when dense forage sections enter the chamber are substantial. The internal bevel gear transfer between the PTO shaft and the rotor shaft must handle both the steady-state torque of continuous full-feed operation and the peak torque of a dense knot or hard section entering the rotor at full RPM.<\/p>\n

A correctly specified heavy-duty forage processing gearbox<\/a> for this application is rated for continuous input torque above 800 Nm with case-hardened spiral bevel gears, sealed oil-bath lubrication, and tapered roller bearings that handle the combined axial and radial loads generated by the high-inertia rotor at 540 rpm input. The overload clutch on the PTO driveshaft should be pre-set at 700\u2013750 Nm to protect the gearbox from the rare but high-magnitude torque spikes that occur when a particularly hard material (a dried thistle clump, a soil-contaminated bale edge) passes through the rotor in a single pass.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Maintenance Schedule<\/h2>\n

The 9F-70 feed crusher<\/strong> has the simplest maintenance profile of any machine in our lineup. Three components require regular attention; everything else is a visual inspection at the start of each season.<\/p>\n
