Diet feeder, muck spreader on display

Written by 

ABBEY DIET feeders on Farmgard’s site will include a new 22m3 ‘flagship’ vertical-mixing model, with a self-steering tandem axle, from the Irish manufacturer.

And it will show Abbey’s AP 900 Multi spreader for solid effluent, muck with straw, etc.

Also on site will be Abbey slurry tankers, Berti mulchers and mowers, Celli power harrows, rotary hoes and spikes rotors, Overum ploughs, Farmgard grader blades, RZ Discs and more.

The Abbey 22m3 feeder has a 20mm base plate, Hardox steel tub and 15mm auger flighting, making it a “serious mixer,” Farmgard says.  

Power consumption is said to be low, and the mix consistent (96%), because of the mixer’s gradual auger flighting and precision-rolled tub. 

Its mixing auger chops and mixes and the machine will handle all animal feed ingredients. Roots can be chopped and mixed with other ingredients in one operation and incorporated with big-bale hay, straw and silage. 

The AP 900 Multi spreader has even flow of material without clogging.  It suits spreading broiler manure, mushroom compost, farmyard manure and semi-solids. 

Design and operating features include: reversible gearbox, rugged construction, overshot discharge rotor and access hatch/stone trap
