Straw, hay and grain shredders (hay cutters, chaff cutters, grass cutters)

Grain, straw and hay shredders from TechnoMashStroy are reliable machines for farms, livestock operations and private households that quickly turn coarse feed into a uniform, chopped mass. Our chaff cutters, hay choppers and grass shredders simplify feed preparation for cattle, horses, rabbits, sheep and poultry, improving digestibility and cutting feeding costs.

The lineup covers models of different output — from compact household shredders to powerful industrial units for processing bales. This range makes it easy to choose equipment for a small backyard farm as well as a large operation with hundreds of animals. Chopped straw and hay digest better and foul feed troughs less, while chopped grain is absorbed more efficiently by animals, which has a positive effect on weight gain and milk yield.

Chaff cutters and hay choppers from TechnoMashStroy are useful not only in livestock farming but also for preparing bedding, composting plant residue, or processing straw into fuel pellets and briquettes. Chopped material packs more evenly into balers, takes up less storage space and is easier to transport than whole stalks or bales.

The difference between hay choppers, chaff cutters and grass shredders

Hay choppers are built to chop dry hay and straw down to the required particle size, chaff cutters can process grain, corn cobs, branches and other tough materials, while grass shredders are designed for chopping fresh green mass. TechnoMashStroy's universal models combine these functions in a single machine, so hay, straw and grain can all be processed without buying several separate units.

The category includes the SNR-30 hay and straw shredder, the universal DR-150, DR-250, DR-500 and DR-1000 series, as well as the powerful TOKMAK and TOKMAK DUO round and square bale shredders, including a version driven by a tractor's PTO shaft. Also available are Universal-11 universal shredders in a base configuration, with a dust-collecting cyclone, and with a built-in feed mixer for preparing ready-to-use feed blends.

The DR series models run on an electric motor and move easily thanks to a wheeled frame, making them suitable for use inside a farm building, in a yard, or in the field next to a haystack. TOKMAK shredders are designed to load whole round or square bales of hay and straw without first cutting the twine, which significantly cuts feed preparation time on larger farms and reduces the need for manual labour.

Advantages of TechnoMashStroy equipment

• high output when chopping hay, straw, grain and baled feed;
• sturdy steel frame and wear-resistant blades built for daily use;
• adjustable particle size to match the type of feed and the animal species;
• compact dimensions on the SNR-30 and DR-150, ideal for a household farm;
• industrial-grade power on the DR-500, DR-1000 and TOKMAK series for large livestock operations;
• the cyclone dust-collection system on Universal-11 models reduces airborne dust during operation;
• shredders with a built-in feed mixer let you prepare a balanced ration right away;
• simple to install, maintain and connect to mains power or a tractor's PTO;
• most models sit on a wheeled base for quick relocation around the farm;
• feed savings thanks to even chopping and minimal raw material loss;
• a single machine can process dry hay and straw as well as grain.

When choosing shredder power, consider not only the number of animals but also the type of feed that dominates the diet: chopping tough corn or sunflower stalks calls for a stronger motor and a reinforced blade assembly, while medium-class models are enough for hay and grass. Our specialists can help calculate the output you need based on your herd size and daily feeding rate.

How to choose a shredder

For a household farm or a small operation, the SNR-30 hay and straw shredder or the universal DR-150 is the optimal choice. Medium-sized farms processing larger feed volumes are better served by the DR-250 or DR-500. For industrial-scale operations, we recommend the DR-1000 and the TOKMAK line, built to shred whole round and square bales of hay and straw without unpacking them first. If you need a comprehensive solution for chopping grain, hay and straw in one machine with the option of mixing feed afterwards, consider the Universal-11 in its feed-mixer configuration.

Materials and build quality

The housings and frames of TechnoMashStroy shredders are made from structural steel of increased thickness, built to withstand long-term use under farm conditions. The blade assemblies undergo heat treatment to stay sharp through daily chopping of tough straw or grain. The loading hoppers are shaped to prevent material jamming and ensure even feeding into the working chamber, while the outlet pipes and hoses let you direct the chopped mass straight into bags, bins or feed distributors.

All TechnoMashStroy equipment is built from quality materials and adapted to real farm working conditions. We deliver grain, straw and hay shredders across Ukraine and arrange international shipping for customers abroad, provide guidance on choosing the right model for your farm's specific tasks, and supply a full set of documentation.
