A Portable Forage Crop Chopper

Abstract

A small portable forage crop chopper, constructed from the reel and cutterbar assembly of a power lawn mower, is described. The unit is powered by the engine originally used on the power lawn mower. It has been designed for chopping forage plot material required for sampling purposes. The low cost of construction, compactness, weight, and size makes it well suited and easily transported for the conducting of regional tests.
