Silage Wagons For Sale in New Zealand

Forage wagons, also called forage boxes or silage wagons, work with a forage harvester and hold and transport the alfalfa, corn, or other material that’s been cut and chopped. The forage wagon can either be attached to a forage harvester or follow behind or next to it. Wagons can include beaters and augers, in conjunction with a floor apron, to handle the material.

You’ll find new and used forage wagons for sale from manufacturer names such as Badger, Gehl, H&S, John Deere, Meyer, Miller Pro, and New Holland. Most manufacturers offer wagon or truck-mount forage boxes with roof, tarp, and open-top models and front, rear, or front/rear unload options. Miller Pro forage wagons for sale have heavy-weight running gear and optional higher roof or side extensions to handle larger capacities. H&S forage boxes come in semi-trailer or truck-mounted models and use a deep stagger beater design with beaters that turn progressively faster from top to bottom, which H&S notes provides for smooth, even material flow across the conveyor.

Specialised forage wagons include trap door or self-unloading models that can unload without requiring the operator to stop. Self-loading forage wagons—relative newcomers to the United States market, although they’ve been popular internationally for years—are pulled directly over swaths of material and use rotary pickups and knives to grab, cut, and move the material into the wagon, saving time and labor.
