R ight from the outset, it is important to make one obvious point clear. A good number of silage feeders/straw blowers are likely to be used hard and given little in the way of maintenance. There will always be a trickle of decent used examples on the market, but you do need to make sure you know what you are buying.
McHale dealers could well offer models that they have refreshed or refurbished, but these may carry a premium that reflects that they have been readied for front line service once again. If you are looking at a private or auction C4 ‘chopper blower’ buy, assume it will need some work doing to it. These are simple items of kit, but they do wear. It is all too easy to not factor in the time it may take to fettle a well-worn machine and the cost of replacement parts.
