Vertical diet feeder

[Celt83]

Our current shelbourne vertical diet feeder is about to give up!

We are looking to change and I was wondering what people were running and what recommendations you were willing to give. It would be a single auger and a 15cu we are looking at.

Any suggestions greatly welcomed. TIA.

Im not a fan of auger feeders but the trioliet seems to be well thought of round here

I’ve just traded my single auger 15cu Shelbourne for a triolet 16 twin auger,hasn’t actually arrived yet but hoping to see it this side of Christmas

If you don't mind me asking but what made you swap for the triolet?

 

[Ducati899]

Wanted to go slightly bigger but without a conveyor as I just need a door either side and I believe the 15 is the biggest Shelbourne offer without conveyor

How old is you’re Shelbourne?

BVL great design, build quality and most importantly good back up

Many of them use the same gearbox so driveline is the same. If we buy a new one it will have stainless to help life span. RS agri have been very helpful to us Keeping our siloking going and likely have one of there’s next time. Siloking has been remarkably reliable and strong

Just got a new one last week but having a job getting dry silage to come out because of the heavy mat covering the doors. Hopefully going to speak to the rep this week about it but think just cutting the bottom 12 inches off the curtain may do the job but want to speak to him first before attacking a new machine

Chain it up out of the way

It’s fixed to the machine on three sides so easier said than done

Lots of Siloking round here seem really reliable think for 15 cu though don’t do a single auger
The one I have is a 14 cu single and just on the borderline for feeding 130 to 140 dairy cows

What weight should you be getting in 20m3 using bales?

 

[HarryB97]

It has to be another Shelbourne they are the best built mixer wagons on the market. Are your bales chopped by the baler?

They need to be, I wanted to support British but they were considerably dearer than bvl and a good few thousand more than abbey. Shame really

Umm there are other makes out there with door only! Just adding this comment for balance! (Not involved with feeders anymore)
