The best forage quality is the basis for your success High-yield livestock need high quality base forage. Ruminants are fussy about their forage. The quality of the base forage they are given, in other words its energy content, digestibility, odour and taste, determines whether they eat large amounts or not. What they like most is base forage that is clean and tasty. The amount of concentrates used can be reduced. This cuts forage costs while at the same time improving animal health. Healthy livestock rewards you with higher fertility, a longer useful life and, crucially, higher milk and...

EUROCAT Front and rear drum mowers Ease of use with reliability With our EUROCAT drum mowers you set the basis for clean forage thanks to their unique ground tracking.

It's only when you switch on the PTO that some torque is needed. The PLUS height adjustment system is so simple and ingenious that we can adjust the cutting height to match the grass. It's only going to be used if it's easy to use!"...

Clean and tidy conditioning The best silage quality In order to keep the energy content of the crop as high as possible, fast and gentle drying is required. Using a conditioner facilitates the release of cell juice in the clamp. This results in faster pH value reduction. What this means is that the silage reaches a stable state more quickly. When mowing with a conditioner, you save one thing above all else: time. The tines or rollers integrated into the mower fold or crimp the crop and place a wide and loose forage carpet, the best prerequisites for a fast drying process. “On high yield...

Rapid and uniform drying: ED tine conditioner The EXTRA DRY conditioner is a joint development with the Institute of Agricultural Engineering (IMAG-DLO) in Wageningen (Holland) that started in 1997 to prove there is better way. V-shaped tines made of hardened steel hit the stalks in the crop and guarantee a continuous flow of forage. The tines are mounted on rubber blocks that are designed to flex. The round, high volume conditioner hood and the adjustable guide vanes enable a loose and airy blanket to be placed. You can adjust the conditioning intensity. Depending on individual...
