hay/grass build-up in the hopper Explanation: Schoppen can have the general meaning of receptacle. In southern Germany it refers to a pint of beer. I would think that the word "hopper" is appropriate for the device that catches the hay. |

not enough clearance (to allow for hay chopping, for example) Explanation: I am only proposing this based on the sound. The hay chopper is an agricultural machine that cuts hay to make it into feed. Le grand dictionnaire de la BTQ |

formation of hay balls Explanation: this sounds horrible, don't worry, I'm not a Pro. Deutscher Duden has following explanation for schoppen, v.: (südd., österr. u. schweiz. mdal. für: hineinstopfen, nudeln, zustecken). That makes me think of the compressed and rolled-up deposits of grass I find not only in the catcher but also in the blade case of my mower whenever I choose the wrong hight setting. Trying to help. Regards Deutscher Duden |
