Hi-Spec tanker suitable for all operational sizes, types
Dairy farm effluent has a part to play in complementing inorganic fertilisers, particularly as prices have risen over the last few years as a result of global conflicts.
The company says the Prodig range of attachments offers buckets, forks, grabs and handling equipment that meet the needs. Design and build quality, using high grade steels, ensures a trouble free and long life.
One standout machine in the range is the Shear Genius, which combines the attributes of a re-handling bucket with those of a shear grab and should prove extremely useful in silage clamps or around feed-pads for loading mixer wagons or feed trailers.
Available in 1500, 1800 and 2200mm sizes with respective capacities of 1.0, 1.3 and 1.6m3, the conventional style bucket has a shear grab with hardened and tempered blades to cut a clean face at the silage clamp, and so reduce secondary fermentation. Double acting rams (nickel chromium plated) power the unit.
The outer corners of the shear have extensions that stop the main blade hitting the ground. Its geometry enables it to open far enough to slice silage bales in half, for dumping into wagons, while retaining the plastic wrap and bale netting with a retainer built into the upper edge of the bucket.
In essence, the design might allow users to look at replacing a bucket, shear grab, silage grab and bale fork with one multi-purpose unit.
