Magnon 11 Silage Wagon
Strautmann has announced a new silage wagon series with a cutting length of only 22 mm, the shortest cut on the market. The new Magnon 11 silage wagon is designed to meet the needs of farmers who require a shortcut length to improve fodder quality and animal health.
The Magnon 11 silage wagon features a number of innovative features, i.e. :
- A new rotor with 84 knives achieves a theoretical cutting length of 22 mm.
- A proven “Exact-Cut” knife protection system that protects each knife separately.
- Double-sided knife blades that can be turned over.
- A maintenance-free cutting unit.
- Conveying tines with 10 mm wide Hardox tine plates and additional armoring at the tine tip.
- An oil-bath gearbox with an integrated planetary set that powers the rotor.
- Drive gears in reinforced design and protection of 3000 Nm to take up even the highest tractor power.
The Magnon 11 silage wagon is expected to be available in a pre-series in a limited quantity for the coming 2024 season. As a result, the series run-in is planned for the 2025 season.
Benefits of a Short-Cut Length for Silage
A shorter cut length for silage has several benefits, for instance:
- Better compaction in the silo, hence reducing the risk of faulty fermentation and improving the quality of the fodder.
- Reduced selection in the feeding trough, which improves animal health and milk yield.
- Increased digestibility of the forage, therefore leading to better feed utilization and animal performance.
