Forage harvesters

Forage harvesters, also known as silage harvesters, are agricultural machines that harvest and chop crops such as corn, grass, and alfalfa into small pieces for livestock feed.

These machines are used for cutting, processing, and storing large volumes of silage, a type of fermented feed that preserves the crop’s nutritional value.

Silage harvesters have revolutionized the way farmers produce and store feed, allowing for more efficient and sustainable practices in the agricultural industry.

How Forage Harvesters Work

These machines have several components, including a cutting head, chopper, blower, and storage container, which make harvesting as simple as possible.

• Cutting Head is attached to the front of the machine, cuts the crop, and feeds it into the chopper.
• Chopper onsists of a set of rotating blades that cut the crop into smaller pieces.
• Blower is used to move the chopped feed into a storage container.
• Storage Container is used to store feed until it is transferred into a silo or used to feed livestock.

Types of Forage Harvesters

• Self-Propelled. One of the most common types is the self-propelled forage harvester, a large, robust machine that can harvest various crops quickly and efficiently.
• Pull-Type is another type is the pull-type forage harvester, which is attached to a tractor and pulled behind. These machines are often smaller than self-propelled models and are ideal for use on smaller farms.
• Other Types include the handheld forage harvester, a manual tool used to harvest smaller areas of crops.
