For over 20 years, Advantage Plastics has been manufacturing and supplying New Zealand-wide a large range of on-farm storage & handling equipment.

From storage silos, portable hoppers to feeders, to name a few, all products are manufactured from polyethylene, the benefits of which have been proven and tested on the largest farms throughout New Zealand.

With a recent increased range of products for the dairy industry, which included a large range of calf meal equipment, the company says it is to make your life on farm easier and more efficient.

"Always keen to listen to feedback and having manufactured customised solutions for years, we saw an opportunity with several of our customers to utilise our Smart Stakkas into a feed out trailer, with an unloading auger that could be operated from your vehicle, side by or quad bike.

"This would help a lot on farm, especially when feeding out into troughs, by removing the need for back braking work of manhandling bags etc."

Advantage Plastics FBTW

Advantage Plastics says its large range of calf meal equipment makes life on farm easier and more efficient.

This has resulted in a 1-tonne feedout trailer, released last year. With many improvements over time, the company says it has become the ultimate solution needed on farm, proven by many, saving time and money.

Key features include a heavy duty trailer which is hot dipped galvanised, 5-inch foldaway auger that reduces the unit's overall width making it safer for transport, it is fast discharging, it has a slide gate to reduce flow if needed, and remote on/off switch which allows ease of use from a distance and means the operator is kept space.

Designed to be powered by a portable generator, the feedout trailer can be used for several applications, making it a worthwhile investment.
