neilw Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Is it possible/feasible to use a standard grain trailer to collect maize or silage?? I know you can get extensions for some but not sure how far you could take it.......? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshParkinson Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I don't see why it wouldn't be, it's just silage/maize is much less dense and much lighter, hence having the extensions to take it up to the tonnage it is meant to be, so in other words you could put silage in say a 14 tonne grain trailer but you would have nowhere near 14 tonnes in there.

Deere-est Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 And half of it would be on the floor. Foragers have a lot of blowing power and without sides you'd lose a hell of a lot. So no, I don't think it would be feasable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I've seen it done, as tris says not the best for holding it all in, but better than a wheel barrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roberthenning Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Yes why wouldnt it be? heres us doing silage, 16tonne kane hold as much as a 12 silage one, few neighbours use lorries for longer runs the odd time too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
