TAKE A TOUGH-BUILT, RED
BEDDING CHOPPER
FROM OUR TRUCK
And Put It To Work in Your Own Dairy Barn
When you have cows, you want them
to be comfortable and clean. And you
don’t want to spend your total milk
check to pay for bedding. That’s why in
the past several weeks, a growing
number of smart dairymen in Penn
sylvania have turned to the science
engineered red bedding chopper from
US Farm Systems of Pennsylvania.
While chopping bales of straw and old
hay into short lengths, this practical
machine fluffs the material into liquid
absorbent bedding that your farm
neighbors say uses a lot less straw. No
more saw dust to hold mastitus germs
under the cow. No more long straw to
shake out and clog your liquid manure
system.
Designed for the modern dairy farm,
the tough-built red bedding chopper
eats full bales of straw and old hay with
ease.

And blows out finely chopped bedding
onto the cows’ stalls right where you
want it. Powered by your choice of
electric or gasoline motor, the chopper
