2026 Straw Chopper Prices | Cetinkayalar Agriculture

Straw chopper prices in 2026 vary by model type, capacity, and equipment configuration. Cetinkayalar Agriculture's NCK-03 Automatic Stem Collecting and NCK-06 Alfalfa Chopper models are priced on request — all cost-driving factors are detailed below.

What Is a Straw Chopper and What Does It Do?

A straw chopper (straw machine / stubble collector) collects crop residues left by combine harvesters or cut forage crops, and converts them into high-quality livestock feed.

Cetinkayalar straw choppers process 2,200 kg per hour, powered by the tractor PTO. They eliminate manual straw collection and reduce winter feed procurement costs significantly.

What Is the Difference Between a Straw Chopper and a Threshing Machine?

These two machines are frequently confused. Here is a direct comparison:

What Factors Affect Straw Chopper Price in 2026?

• Model type: Automatic pickup (NCK-03 SM) is more complex and priced higher than stationary hopper models (NCK-06 OM).
• Knife system option: The NCK-03 SM Knife System carries 54 precision blades — this adds cost over the standard crushing model.
• Pickup width: The 1,800 mm auto-collection header on NCK-03 SM is a major cost component.
• Gearbox system: Cetinkayalar's special PTO gearbox is standard; upgraded power transfer options increase price.
• Spare parts package: Pre-season spare parts packs are separately priced for uninterrupted operation.
• Delivery terms: Konya-based manufacturing offers competitive domestic pricing; export logistics vary by destination.

Cetinkayalar Straw Chopper Models: Which One Is Right for You?

NCK-03 SM — Automatic Stem Collecting Straw Machine

• Capacity: 2,200 kg/hr
• Pickup Width: 1,800 mm
• Input: Wheat, barley, oat, maize, soybean stalks (combine residue)
• Standard System: Automatically collects, chops, and loads into trailer. Eliminates manual labor.
• Knife (Chaff) System: 54 special blades produce ultra-fine chop straw — optimal for livestock digestion and milk/meat yield.

Best for: Large-scale livestock operations; farmers producing their own winter feed from field residues.

NCK-06 OM — Alfalfa & Forage Chopper

• Capacity: 2,200 kg/hr
• Hopper Width: 1,200 mm (manual feed hopper)
• Input: Cut and dried alfalfa, vetch, hay, meadow grass
• Key Feature: Precision drum preserves alfalfa leaves and protein content during processing.

Best for: Alfalfa and forage operations; processors preferring manual-feed stationary setup.

Standard Straw Chopper vs Knife System: Which Produces Better Straw?

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

1. How much does a straw chopper cost in 2026?

Cetinkayalar Agriculture customizes pricing based on model, options, and delivery requirements. With 50+ years of manufacturing experience, the team provides project-specific quotes — contact Cetinkayalar directly for current NCK-03 SM and NCK-06 OM pricing.

2. What is the difference between a straw chopper and a threshing machine?

A threshing machine (patoz) separates grain from the stalk to produce grain output. A straw chopper converts the stalk into animal feed. They serve complementary roles in the same harvest cycle.

3. Can the NCK-03 SM collect maize (corn) stalks?

Yes. The Knife System model is specifically effective on hard-structured maize and soybean stalks. The powerful drum converts them into straw without clogging, even at full 2,200 kg/hr capacity.

4. Which straw chopper is best for alfalfa?

For automatic field collection, choose NCK-03 SM. For processed dried alfalfa with manual feeding and maximum leaf retention, the NCK-06 OM (Alfalfa & Forage Chopper) provides better control and preserves protein content.

5. What tractor power is required for Cetinkayalar straw choppers?

Both NCK-03 SM and NCK-06 OM are powered by the tractor PTO. Cetinkayalar's special gearbox minimizes PTO load, reducing tractor fuel consumption. Contact the Cetinkayalar technical team for exact PTO horsepower requirements based on your specific configuration.

People Also Ask (PAA)

What crops can a straw chopper process?

Cetinkayalar NCK-03 SM processes wheat, barley, oat, maize, and soybean stalks. The NCK-06 OM handles alfalfa, vetch, hay, and meadow grass. Both models are multi-crop capable.

Is fine chop straw better for dairy cows?

Agricultural research broadly supports that fine-chop straw improves rumen efficiency in dairy cattle, reducing feed waste and positively impacting milk yield. Cetinkayalar's Knife System produces this fine-chop output as standard.

How many hours per day can a straw chopper operate?

Cetinkayalar straw choppers are built with reinforced steel chassis for continuous field operation. Daily operation hours depend on tractor capacity, terrain conditions, and stalk density. The closed-loop design minimizes downtime; spare parts support from Cetinkayalar ensures season-long operation.

Where is Cetinkayalar Agriculture based?

Cetinkayalar Agriculture has been manufacturing in Konya, Turkey since 1970. The company exports to markets across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, with a nationwide service network in Turkey for after-sales support.
