I'm looking for some guidance/information. How far can a JD 16a or NH 38 throw the forage from the tip of the discharge chute. I have an old Fox 844 flail chopper that throws the grass/legumes/etc about 14'- 16' from the end of the discharge chute if the material/grass is dry. As I have a 20 foot self feeding wagon .. I need the flail chopper to 'throw' the forage 22 - 24 feet... from the tip of the discharge chute. I have asked manufacture's sales folks .. but they have either been unresponsive to my request or down right evasive. My old Fox 844 is in decent shape but in need of some 'tweaking' .. as parts are now hard to come by.. Hiniker .. who owns the Fox parts business today is rapidly running out of 'parts'. Can I expect a Deere 16A ..set to factory specs .. to throw/propel the forage to the back of my self feeding wagon? At 76 years of age I'm getting a bit 'worn' to fork the forage from the front of my wagon to the back... Although my cardiologist says it's good exercise.... and getting in/out of that damn wagon is getting to be a 'trip' ..?of sorts. . I really need some guidance as the manufacturers don't want to cooperate. The question to answer is how far will a flail chopper throw/propel dry grass/legume if in new condition??? thanks
