ProDig Attachments has launched a new offering of folding silage forks.
Carlow-based Irish manufacturer ProDig Attachments has launched a new offering of folding silage forks ahead of the 2023/24 harvesting season.
After listening to the demands of farmers and silage contractors, redevelopment of its existing models, saw a focus on strength, performance and weight, with the arrival of the new Mammoth and Taurus folding forks, available in width from 3.6m up to 5.5m (12 to 18 feet) and tare weights from 1.5 to 2.2 tonnes.
At the heart of the machines, the main bottom frame is 12mm folded steel, protected by a 12mm Hardox wear plate, carrying 50mm thick Hardox tines which have been increased to 1.8m in length.
There is an option of 2.1m long tines, for those looking to move more material in one pass. Twin, high-tensile sidetines are bolted, rather than welded, for ease of replacement in the event of damage.
An angled plate is now fitted to the top of the entire beam both front and rear to prevent material retention, while also helping material flow through the fork. For safety, when folded in the transport position, the maximum width is kept to only 2.9 metres, with a further option of tines guards to protect other road users.
The Taurus Folding Fork Range can be specified with increased tine spacing if desired along with an optional bolton maize blade. Both the Mammoth and Taurus range can be specified with customer logos or branding in the wing sections as well as custom colour schemes.
