SILOKING 4.0 ON TOUR

With over 3,000 self-propelled models built by Siloking since 2004, interest in the self-propelled feeder range continues to develop. It is recognised as the fastest, most accurate and most efficient way to feed cows, with accurately weighed ingredients processed through the milling head.

This SelfLine System 500+ model is the very latest to arrive in the UK, and is currently working its way around the Kverneland UK dealer network.

Complete with integrated feed management software, this 260hp 2519 model comes with feed-out options that include a front-left side conveyor and HD doors. The twin vertical augers are made of 15mm steel, with an additional 6mm layer of Silonox high-strength steel applied for longevity.

With power supplied by Volvo Penta, this SelfLine System 500+ model boasts a 1,000hour engine oil change interval, 500-hour greasing intervals, and can be specified with 25, 40 and 50kph transmissions.

The range of ROC mergers available for the 2023 season continues to grow, with the arrival of the RT870 and RT1000 models, offering working widths of 8.7m and 10m. An 11.5m RT1150 model is also expected to become available. ROC mergers use a 1m deep belt-type pickup that can position forage either left or right, or create a central swath. With three belts, the RT870 model has advanced functionality that enables its centre belt to be removed in a matter of minutes, thanks to a quick release mechanism. This allows the two outer belts to create a large centre swath.

“The advantage of removing the centre belt is that the ROC merger still keeps the centre pickup reel in place,” explains Kverneland forage specialist Dan Crowe. “This enables the centre swath to be lifted from the ground and combined with crop from the two outer swaths. It’s all about preserving high quality forage.”

ROC mergers are capable of gently lifting and conveying forage crops while preserving delicate leaves. Doing so is less likely to lift stones and dirt from the ground, leading to reduced contamination and those with forage harvesters should see extended working life from blades and chute liners.
