Bruce I don't know how the butterfat dropped. We fed high moisture ground ear corn foe several years. I always noticed the butterfat, dropped when we had to go back to shelled corn to grind. We used an NI Uni with a 3 row stripper plate head I set the knives so they just ticked the ledger plate in the chopper with a 3/4 hole screen this came out like ground feed from a feed grinder with about 20-30 percent moisture corn. It does take some power though the key is to keep the knives sharp and tight to the ledger and screen. The guys complaining about fuel and power consumption probably are either trying to push the machine to hard or don't keep the knives sharp. If the ledger is worn change it. We bagged it in silage bags with little spoilage. The honeybees love it in early spring to feed on till it greens up a bit. They would cover the face during the day. So would just work there late in the day that time of year. We ground it into anything we could pull with either the chopper or along side as in the 80's we had a lot of wet falls.

The engine on this tractor, a 1937 John Deere "B", had been stuck for 2 years before he gave it to me. This last spring (1999) I hauled the tractor to our 2 acre lot in St. Libory Nebraska where it joined my antique machinery collection, at that time a 1929 Caterpillar T
