TESTIMONIALS

"The Macerator has changed our hay making abilities more than anything else over the last 26 years. We consistently cut our dry down time by one to two days. We even got good drying on cloudy days and the hay would cure even at night time. On several occasions we beat the rain because we used the Macerator. The Macerator will pay for itself in our conditions faster than any other piece of equipment. The quality of hay is superior and our customers are asking for the macerated hay. The animals love the softer texture of the macerated hay. For the first time, we were also able to make a 4th cut this year, thanks to the Macerator."

"We conducted a trial to determine what the maximum yield would be with non irrigated alfalfa in the Interlake region. We did our third cut of 1900 lbs. per acre in September, on non irrigated land, which is typically an extremely slow drying time of the year this far north. The AgLand Macerator shortened drying time a great deal. The hay was macerated on Tuesday and baled on Friday. This hay was bud stage and had a relative feed value of 209 and protein of 23.5 with a moisture content of 14%. Without the Macerator the hay would have still been on the field by Sunday when we received significant rain, which would have ruined this incredible hay".

Here is what Ben Poirier had to say: "We cut Hay - July 4th at 9.00 am - 10:00 am, macerated from 11.00 am to 12.00 am. It was a normal warm day and it was the heavy first cut of mixed alfalfa, clover, brome and new seeding done the summer of 2001. We raked it at 11.00 am July 5th and baled it at 12.00 pm with a Gehl 1470 round baler 4 x 5 at maximum density, without using preservatives. The hay was stored in a closed shed the same day and it kept very well. The Macerator is an amazing machine, 14 points superior in feed value!"

"I bought my Macerator for the 2002 haying season. It did not take long to realize that the Macerator was a "must have" hay tool. The dry down time was incredible, on average _ of normal. I farm 9 quarters of hay and would say that the Macerator is just as important to the operation as the balers".
