LOL aye!!

You get knackered after like 5 mins  

It's really a 2 man job, one cutting and one feeding it through the rollers. The more you feed through at one time the better! But you can do it just one bloke!

It saves loads of money, a bag of chop is like £6  

The hay & straw we get free, we make it ourselves, and we get free beet to feed them, so we only have to buy the coarse mix at like £5 a bag

I bet it takes more than a SE1 to run it though, might have to break out the Jensen.
