Comfortable livestock are more productive.
Provide an even and absorbent bed of straw.
Increase consumption and reduce waste of baled silage.
Baled silage that is lightly shredded with a Tomahawk is more palatable and easily consumed.
Operation
Blow straw up to 35', discharge to one or both sides of the tractor. Alternative delivery chutes are available to suit your requirements.
Discharge silage to the right hand side only into a ring feeder or along a feed barrier.
The Tomahawk 4040, 5050 and 5050XLM Bale Feeder models use Blades to chop dry or wet material. With very wet material the chop length may be as low as 4 cm, and dry material will be around 15cm. long.
Easy control of output by adjusting the speed of drum rotation.

For your peace of mind Tomahawks are backed by an efficient after sales service from our production facility in Cornwall, England.
The Tomahawk Drum models are economical, simple and robust. There are no gearboxes, with the drive to the rotor being direct from the tractor, a hydraulic motor is used to rotate the drum. Due to their simplicity and strength, customers can expect a long service life from their Tomahawk.
