There are specialized aggregates among them (only grain is crushed), and you can also find universal feed grinders (process grain, legumes, oilseeds and root crops).

• Performance is not the most important parameter of a home crusher. But the greater the number of pets (and the larger they are), the more powerful the model is required.
• On the other hand, compact and lightweight equipment is chosen for the house so that, if necessary, the device can be moved closer to the forage stock.
