    No, it's a bucket with a shear grab. They claim it will take 1.5tons of silage.

    Yes. They have videos up on their websites but I would like a user's opinion.

    Ring them up and for a demo at your place, it's the only way to know if it suit your set up? Are you still feeding silage?

    Transport would be a problem.
    I'm feeding a buffer of maize silage and maize grain.

    Transport?

    Is there a dealer nearby? Ask them to stick it on a trailer and drive to your place. There looks like plenty of dealers around the place. As long as you have a loader to fit they should be fine to take a drive out to make a sale. I know from fellas near me that for new equipment they look to make a effort. Word of mouth in the farming community still carries a lot of weight.

    One of the neighbours has a bucket similar to this one. How big they make them I'm not sure but leaves a very tidy feed face.







    They feed grass silage, a couple of different types of whole crop, maize silage, crimped grain and protein blends with it.

    Can't friggin link. Look up Emily silage defacer.
