Model 9427 Chopper Success Story
Model 9427 Bedding Chopper: More throwing distance, more power!
Jim Kunkel saves time and uses less straw with his Patz Model 9427 Chopper.
Jim Kunkel operates a 70-cow dairy farm in Hazel Green, WI. His father, Don Kunkel, had farmed for over 50 years by the time Jim took over the farm in 2000.
Jim has a slurry store for his manure, which makes it necessary for him to chop his straw bedding. When it came time for him to buy a new bedding chopper, he purchased a Patz Model 9427 Portable Chopper from his local Patz Dealer Steinhart Farm Service, Inc.
"The best thing about the Patz Chopper is that I use less straw," says Jim, "and it has more throwing distance and power than my old chopper!"
The Model 9427 Chopper finely chops straw or hay and distributes it evenly, using less material than shaking out straw by hand. A hose attachment on the portable model makes it easy to blow the straw exactly where Jim wants it. The unique, serrated, 4-point Quadra-Shark™ blades are designed for chopping. The reversible blades are made of through-hardened 3/16-inch steel for long life.
"The fast chopping time saves me time and labor," states Jim. He is very pleased with the performance of his Patz Model 9427 Chopper and recommends it to others looking for a bedding chopper that will save time, labor and materials.
He also recommends Steinhart Farm Service, Inc., his local Patz Dealer, for great service and reliability.
