Manual and hopper-fed cutters both still require you to physically push fodder toward the blades at some point in the process. The Conveyer removes that step \u2014 a belt carries fodder into the cutting mechanism automatically, which does two things at once: it keeps the operator's hands further from the moving parts throughout the session, and it maintains a steadier, more continuous feed rate than manual pushing typically achieves.
This is the model to consider once you're running longer cutting sessions regularly, where the physical effort and safety margin of manual feeding start to matter more than they do for a quick daily batch. It's a step up in both cost and capability from the Gold Hooper, aimed at farms where fodder cutting is a sustained, higher-volume part of the daily routine rather than a short task.
