Shear bucket SILO BUCKET

Precise silage extraction through accurate cutting action

With long-fibre silage and with particulate feed (e.g. corn silage, sugar beet pulp, …), airtight preservation of feed and precise extraction have an important role to play. The MAMMUT SILO BUCKET, a shear bucket, delivers convincing ease and speed of used combined with precision cutting action. The closed bucket bottom on the SILO BUCKET type prevents losses during transport and keeps the yard and silo plate clean.

Clean use

Feed losses due to particulate silage can become a real challenge, especially over longer transport distances. The completely closed bottom of the SILO BUCKET keeps feed reliably in the bucket – keeping the mobile silo and transport route clean.

Avoiding feed losses

A compact cut surface is also important for finely chopped feed to prevent the accidental ingress of air and the resultant fermentation process. Thanks to the ingenious design of the shear bucket, the block is separated out of the silo cleanly.

Easing of the workload

The shear bucket is every effective when filling the mixer carriage because there is no need to replace tools or bucket and brush. Also, the SILO BUCKET is ideal for transporting loose material like bruised grain or mineral-based feed.

Your benefits at a glance:

Precise cut for optimum feed

High-quality silage is essential for good milk yields and animal health. Careful silo extraction is also important for finely ground feed to prevent any impairment to quality. With the SILO BUCKET silage shear bucket, thanks to its smooth cutting blade and the ingenious geometry, a precise and compact cut can be achieved in the silo, preventing the accidental ingress of air during extraction from the bunker silo. This eliminates any possibility of heat building up at higher temperatures or even undesirable fermentation.

Technology that protects feed

The MAMMUT silage shear bucket combines the advantages of a bucket and a silo tine, achieving a smooth cutting pattern in the silo through its double-walled design that treats feed gently. The silo remains undamaged during extraction and, for example in combination with a hydraulic pusher, it can be used for laying in stock or for automatic livestock feeding systems.

A tidy outcome to the silage extraction process

Cleanliness during the loading of feed into silo storage is becoming an ever more important topic. Stringent stipulations governing the preservation of feed are intended to prevent crop liquids from trickling out of the silo into the ground water. It is therefore all the more important, also during the extraction process, to prevent unnecessary contamination and to keep the silo plate clean. The completely closed base of the SILO BUCKET (silo cutting bucket) minimises feed losses during transport – and this greatly reduces workloads, especially when transporting feed over long distances.

Multiple everyday benefits

In addition to the classic extraction of feed, the MAMMUT shear bucket also makes it possible to transport bruised grain or mineral-based feed. This means that no tool changes are needed when filling the feed mixer. Another advantage of the SILO BUCKET is that any residual feed can be picked up easily without having to climb down into the silo – so manual work with buckets and brushes is now relegated to the past.

Great stability with a refined modular design

The SILO BUCKET keeps the mobile silo and the transport route clean.

The welded Hardox cutter guarantees low cutting resistance.

SILO BUCKET combines stability and ease of movement

The MAMMUT silage shear bucket delivers convincing ease of movement and precise cutting action – this technology with its perfect cutting edge protects the silo as well as the carrier vehicle. A key feature of this is the ingenious cutting radius that, with the SILO BUCKET, approximates the ‘neutral phase’ and therefore keeps the force required to cut through the silo block at a low level. In addition, the double-walled design of this device makes it incredibly stable: all reinforcements are inside the cutting basket and the base.

Easy insertion in the silo

The bucket bottom is also double-walled. This makes it possible to dispense with additional external reinforcement ribs. This makes it easy to insert the bucket while also preventing residual feed from remaining on the base.

Welded Hardox cutter for optimum cutting characteristics.

The welded cutting blade made of Hardox steel delivers many advantages. The geometry of the blade is an essential feature for the cutting characteristics. With the SILO BUCKET, the aggressively shaped, pointed tines enable the feed to be pierced right through precisely. Together with the ingenious bucket design of the silage shear bucket, the carrier vehicle only requires a low operating pressure to cut through and separate the block. The Hardox steel used for the cutter can cope with any level of strain and guarantees ultimate quality for many years.

‘Made in Austria’ quality

Impact force not only increases when loading the silo. It also does so during extraction, assuring a speedy and efficient operation. Larger carrier vehicles entail increasing demands on silo extraction technology. The SILO BUCKET silage shear bucket was designed for the highest of operating loads and it combines design with functionality. Generously proportioned pin diameter (types N, M: 50 mm Ø / types H, XL: 60 mm Ø) as well as a wear-resistant plastic plate on the main mounting assure the machine a long service life.

Carefully thought out placement of replaceable Hardox scraper strips on the underbody protect the buckets.

Optimum retained value

The double-walled design of the base and the shear bucket prevent distortion during the loading process. Also, the machine does not need to have a flow divider valve. In addition, an integrated torsion bar makes this device very resistant to torsional stresses (e.g. when cutting out half of a silo block). Replaceable Hardox scraper strips are integrated in the underbody of the SILO BUCKET to protect the device from wear and tear. The powder-coated frame and the welded cutter made of Hardox steel help the silage shear bucket to retain its value for many years.

The right solution for all needs

Screwed attachment plates enable the SILO BUCKET shear bucket to delivery ultimate flexibility with its attachment options. Here, MAMMUT provides a wide choice of varied attachments for front loaders, wheel loaders, farmyard loaders or telehandlers. In addition, the device can be equipped with a hydraulic pusher for using the silage shear bucket in combination with automatic livestock feeding systems. This provides an ideal way for transporting blocks of feed into the supply containers. A wide selection of 12 different models with block volumes ranging from 0.64 to 3.62 m³ assure perfect adjustment to suit every requirement and size of farm.
