This is describing a tractor. What happens when there is too little ground clearance? I can't find 'Schoppen' anywhere.

hay/grass build-up in the hopper
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)
I am only proposing this based on the sound. The hay chopper is an agricultural machine that cuts hay to make it into feed.

formation of hay balls
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
