You are looking at the most durable and versatile bale and bedding chopper in the industry. The Patz Model 9427 Chopper can chop straw, hay, newspaper, and many other materials.
The rotor assembly has 20 rotor blades (80 cutting edges) in a spiral mounting to provide fast, efficient cutting. The large 5-inch- (127 mm-) diameter, diecast aluminum spacers reduce wrapping. The 1-1/2-inch- (38 mm-) diameter hex shaft is strong to handle the torque. The rotor speed of 2,850 RPMs cuts at a high-volume rate. There is a double-belt drive to the rotor.
Reverse or replace blades quickly and easily. Simply flip up the hinged deck and remove the rotor shaft. The belts can be easily removed from the rotor shaft pulley. Also, there are no knives to unbolt or bolt together.
An adjustable grate is standard equipment for the portable chopper. The grate and rotor are designed for short chopping of straw, hay, bark, plastics, and many more materials.
Each 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick grate finger is welded at both ends to the two full-length grate shafts for rigidity.
The Quadra-Shark™ blade sets a higher standard in chopper performance. Quadra-Shark™ is a trademark of Patz Corp.
This patented, unique, one-piece, four-point, double-edge rotor blade is designed for chopping and long life. The 3/16-inch (4.7 mm) thick, through-hardened steel blades are beveled and serrated for effective cutting action and provide plenty of strength for tough cutting conditions. There are no bolts, rivets, or welds on the blade, so snagging or wrapping of material is greatly reduced. You will enjoy trouble-free performance from this rotor blade, whether chopping newspaper, hay, straw, or other material.
A single-handle, seven-position grate control allows varying length of cut and adjusts material flow rate. The two-bolt flange rotor shaft bearings are mounted outside the chopper frame to minimize contamination and allow easy lubricating and servicing.
The polyethylene deck top eliminates metal-to-metal contact and provides easy tub rotation. Also, the polyethylene deck top along with the polyethylene tub skirt form a tight seal to help prevent leakage of paper and other materials. Grippers hold the bale as the steel tub rotates.
The deck is hinged to tilt away for convenient inspection of the rotor.
Two adjustable discharge doors direct the flow of materials.
All controls are grouped together for convenient and easy operation. Labels indicate clearly what each lever controls and direction to move it. The control levers on portable model are:
Parking Brake
Rotor Engagement (engine powered models only)
Grate Height Adjustment
Tub Rotation Engagement
A fire extinguisher (Class ABC Rated) is standard on all Model 9427 Choppers.

@hoeck2008 Thanks for the comment on our portable chopper video. It really is geared towards the smaller farm but has been used on large farms also. We appreciate your interest in our products.

That is super cool. I like it because its not only geared toward the large farmers. People who want good bedding for their horse or whatever can use this to. Nice.
