Affordable, Quiet Chopping for Small-Scale Farms
Step up from hand-chopping with the 3-Blade Chaff Cutter (2hp Electric). Designed specifically for small-scale zero-grazing dairy, goat, and sheep farmers, this compact machine combines the traditional, uniform cutting action of a 3-blade flywheel with the ultra-low running costs of an electric motor.
Perfect for peri-urban farms in Kikuyu, Kiambu, and Thika where single-phase electricity is available, this chaff cutter operates quietly, starts instantly with a switch, and requires zero engine maintenance. It effortlessly processes soft to medium Napier grass and desmodium, ensuring your 1-5 cows or goats get perfectly chopped, highly digestible feed every day.
