forage wagon

I run 105 suckler cows and 1500 ewes. Not pushed to the limit of what the farm will carry by any means. I grow a bit of barley to fatten young stock and neeps for sheep. I do everything in house. I have an extensive range of machinery, all older, bought and paid for stuff. The business has no...

Had the 1st day out with the wagon yesterday (Pottinger Europrofi) and whilst I'm pleased with it the chop quality wasn't the best, even with brand new blades in and was difficult to clamp. We did row 3 into 1 straight out of mower swath and are just wondering if the centre swath which hasn't...

Written by Justin Roberts from Agriland In a move that will come as little surprise to those following the market for forage wagons, a major manufacturer is to stop building the machines. Claas has just announced that after reviewing the future of forage production, it has decided to focus its...

How far are people traveling with forage wagons? Our job would average 3/4 miles field to clamp 2 / 3miles good main road, the remainder lanes and farm drives contactor recons it'd work out dearer than forager but obviously that depends on volume of crop. Would be a contractor payed on the...

We have a fendt 313 which is capable of lifting 3.5t on the front and 6t on the back, what would be a suitable buckrake, everything iv rang about dealers are saying I need 200hp+ for. Only for our own silage.

We’ve just bought a forage wagon fitted with a powder additive applicator, and having a quick search online, I can only find a handful of powdered silage inoculants. Does this mean that powdered additives are inferior to liquid ones? Any recommendations for good powder inoculants. N.B...

Answer me this then Is it possible to convert a SPFH in to a zero grazer? Remember, the key is to cause the least damage to the cut grass so knives out for a start but what about drum? Will the impeller be able to accelerate grass of, say 10” , up and through spout without blocking?

I seem to feel quite sleepy after eating my few sandwiches and salad veg at mid lunchtime, do any other members suffer with the same problem? If so have you found any cures that help alleviate the problem? From what I have read on the internet,I get the impression it is meant to be better to...

Hi all, Looking at options to upgrade our ageing parlour. Want to be able to milk 140 cows as a one-man set up in preferably no more than 90 mins, plus wash down time, without feeling jet-lagged at the end of it. Herd size unlikely to grow beyond this but would like to build some flexibility...

We're looking at possibly starting zero grazing again and due to only having 1 tractor and no front linkage/PTO we would buy a zero grazing forage wagon with a mower infront of the pickup. Does anyone have any experience with these and know how good a job they do? After looking online it seems...

Written by Justin Roberts from Agriland Chopping forage into shorter lengths is generally considered a good thing, certainly when it comes to promoting a quick fermentation and greater consolidation in the clamp. Substantial reduction of material length has always been considered the preserve...

Hi I'm looking at a triaxle 5000gl slurry tank and I'm wondering what size tractor I would need to pull it I'm not in hilly country and the biggest tractor I have ATM is a tm 190 mapped but I think it would be sluggish and our next wagon will prob be a triaxle so the tractor would have to be big...

Had the belts get hot a few times, feeding silage (round bale) by the time you stop machine there is a lot of smoke from belts, took cover aff last night to possibly adjust up but found it to be an auto type which i am not familiar with. There is adjustment but how do you know if you over...

why does the same wide angle pto, which a use on a forage wagon with 180hp for 10 years without problems, is getting hot on a slurry mixer with 100hp after 10 min? the 5m long mixer is mounted in 2m deep slurry pit with ca. 30° angle

Farmer Focus - December 2021 Harvest has come and gone. Yields were good but could have been better had the growing season not been so variable. We had trimmed our Nitrogen rates to 160 Kg/N/Ha for wheat and OSR, but huge swings of yields within the fields told me that the yield had not been...
