200–400kg/hr Aico Japan ACH500 Multipurpose Chopper – 8HP Petrol Engine

The 200–400kg/hr Aico Japan ACH500 Multipurpose Chopper is a petrol-powered agricultural machine designed for farmers who need a practical way to prepare fodder and suitable livestock feed without depending on mains electricity.

Powered by an 8HP petrol engine, the ACH500 can operate independently in farm locations where electricity is unavailable, unreliable or too far from the feed-preparation area. This makes it particularly useful for rural farms, dairy units and livestock operations where flexibility in machine placement is important.

The machine has a stated processing capacity of 200kg to 400kg per hour, providing useful output for regular farm feed preparation. Instead of manually cutting large quantities of fodder, farmers can mechanise the chopping process and reduce the time and physical labour required to prepare daily livestock feed.

The 8HP engine configuration is especially useful for farmers who prefer an engine-driven machine over the 3HP electric ACH500. It allows feed preparation to continue without relying on grid electricity while retaining the ACH500’s stated 200–400kg/hr processing capacity.

Macire supplies the Aico Japan ACH500 with equipment guidance, nationwide delivery arrangements and after-sales support.
