Silage spreader

Silage spreader SILO FOX

The silage spreader from MAMMUT provides the best silage quality

When filling the bunker silo, even distribution and compaction up to the edges is often neglected. This is also mainly due to the technical possibilities. However, in order to provide consistent feed quality in the fermentation process, MAMMUT offers the right solutions in this case. The silage spreader of the SILO FOX series distributes the piles of feed evenly towards the front, and is ideal for use with large unloading quantities.

Quick working in the silo

During unloading into the bunker silo and subsequent distribution or compaction of the feed, effectiveness is required. The harvest chain must not be interrupted – this is ensured with the MAMMUT silage spreader.

Uniform silo structure

As well as effectiveness, the handling of the distribution technology and the quality of this essential work step are particularly important. The following applies: The more evenly the applied layer of feed is compacted, the greater the certainty of correct fermentation and high-quality silage.

Optimal swivelling behaviour

When it comes to ensiling, it's not just the distribution quality that counts - the MAMMUT SILO FOX also scores points with a well thought-out concept when swivelling the silage spreader: The pivot point is designed in such a way that a large swivel range is achieved and it is easy to swivel away from the silo wall.

Water-fillable drums as standard equipment

With the new model range, the standard equipment also changes: All types are now equipped with water-fillable drums – even the two larger silage distributors GIGANT and KOLOSS now offer the option of water filling as standard. This allows for an optimal adjustment of the weight ratios, and additionally guarantees the multiple use of your silage spreader.

Mammut-strong technology, even better

Furthermore, in the new development of the MAMMUT silage spreader, attention has been paid to a more solid construction of the safety bar. In combination with a well thought-out design, the new guard bar means not only safe use in silage harvesting but also ideal sliding of the forage to be distributed. From now on, the positioning of all hydraulic hoses is also centrally designed – this keeps the lines protected and the distribution remains free of blockages. In addition, the solid pivot point on the hydraulic swivel device (optional) guarantees trouble-free operation. A practical deflector plate package is now available as an accessory for the new models in the SILO FOX series, which allows the forage to slide off even better. Many other useful options offer maximum working comfort and individual adaptation to your operation.

Drum silage distributor as the basis for even compaction and silage quality

In order to produce tasty feed, it is certainly not enough to just wait for the right harvest time and ensure that the harvest protects the sward. In the silage making process itself, many factors determine the quality and the resulting feed conversion – because animals only like to eat nutrient-rich and aerobically stable silage. This is also the basis for high performance in the barn and the associated profitability.

High-quality silage also ensures that there is a high feed intake, and only low losses occur at the feeding table. Exact distribution in the silo also ensures that there is maximum compaction as far as the edge of the trench silo. The MAMMUT silage distributor therefore makes a decisive contribution to having perfect air exclusion.

Exact distribution ensures that anaerobic fermentation takes place

When the feed is loaded into the bunker silo, it is important for it to be evenly distributed up to the edge of the silo in order to avoid air inclusions and subsequent fermentation pockets. A great deal of incorrect fermentation often occurs in the edge area of bunker silos due to air ingress, which makes a considerable proportion of the feed unusable. With the SILO FOX drum silage distributor, even large unloading quantities can be reduced quickly and distributed in a homogeneous way, which ensures that stable lactic acid fermentation takes place and the best feed quality is produced.

Feed production: Ensuring that you have effectiveness in the trench silo

Effective feed collection is a prerequisite for every operation due to the harvest window, which is often small. Logistics in the sio play an essential role in this. A well-coordinated enliling chain increases efficiency in the silo and ensures that there is a stable silage fermentation process. The concept of the drum silage distributor from MAMMUT is particularly important, particularly with large or uneven unloading quantities.

Swivelling device with a well thought-out pivot point

The silage spreaders from MAMMUT can be equipped with a hydraulic pivoting device.

This significantly increases the distribution accuracy when working in the silo. The technology is designed so that the pivot point of the silo distributor is close to the three-point attachment.

Spreading pattern – a decisive quality factor with silage distributors

With silage distributors, the even spread pattern of the forage up to the edge of the bunker silo is the decisive factor. The more homogeneous the distribution, the more reliable the subsequent compaction. The drum silage spreaders from MAMMUT achieve an even and very fine preparation of the unloaded heaps of fodder due to their design.

Design combined with functionality

With the MAMMUT silage distributors of the SILO FOX series, the design of the throwing shovels is sloping so that the feed automatically slides off again at the right moment. From the type Silo Fox “SF 195 CLASSIC” onwards, edged end pieces are also included as standard, which can be mounted on the straight, outer shovels either facing inwards or outwards. This allows the spread pattern to be individually adapted to each silo.

Blockage-free through the harvest

In order to ensure an ideal throughput of both chopped and long-fibre forage, special attention has been paid to the SILO FOX silage distributors to ensure a fluid operation without forage accumulation. All hydraulic lines, for example, are installed centrally and are well protected by their clever positioning – but the shape and design of the protective bracket also helps to ensure that the heaps of grass are distributed evenly in the bunker silo and do not get stuck on the implement. For even better performance, there is now also a new additional equipment: the deflector plate package, which reliably reduces forage jams on the upper side of the headstock as well as in the direction of the tractor.

MAMMUT guarantees a long service life

With MAMMUT, the focus is not only on work quality, but also on customer profitability. That is why importance is placed on maximum reliability and a long service life during development. The gear components are adapted to the sizes of the models, and have been tested for extreme peak loads. But the pivot point is also solidly constructed and its design guarantees trouble-free use. Moreover, the silage distributors of the SILO FOX series are powder-coated, and are therefore also characterised by maximum value retention.

Be it front or rear use – stay flexible

At MAMMUT, the SILO FOX series is available either as a rear-only device or as a front and rear model. A reverse and reduction gear is installed in the front and rear variant, which changes the direction of rotation and also reduces the drum speed. In this way, the speed is ideally matched to the rear PTO (usually 540 rpm) or the front PTO (1,000 rpm). This means that the technology can be attached to any tractor.

NEW: All models water-fillable as standard

The new 2022 model series also comes with some useful features in terms of standard equipment: Accordingly, all types, i.e. from the smallest CLASSIC silage spreader to the professional KOLOSS unit, are now equipped with water-fillable drums as standard. The increased dead weight of the distributor due to the water filling means better compaction and ensures a constant forage quality. This means that additional ballasting of the carrier vehicle can be implemented directly with the silage distributor.

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a silage spreader weigh?

Depending on the model, the unladen weight ranges from approx. 460 kg to 1,530 kg. In addition, all SILO FOX models are water-fillable as standard. This allows – depending on the type – up to 1,000 kg of additional weight to be added. This improves compaction performance and ensures optimum weight distribution on the roller vehicle.

What is the power requirement for a silage spreader?

The power requirement depends on the model size:

SF 175 / 195 CLASSIC: from 60 PS
SF 215 CLASSIC & TITAN: from 70 PS
SF 245 TITAN: from 90 PS
SF 230 GIGANT: from 100 PS
SF 280 GIGANT: from 120 PS
KOLOSS models: from 140 PS

This means there is a suitable size for everyone, from small grassland farms to contract operators.

Which drive shaft is supplied with a silage spreader, and when is a wide-angle drive shaft not required?

The MAMMUT SILO FOX is supplied with a drive shaft as standard. A wide-angle PTO shaft is not normally required, as the pivot point is located close to the three-point hitch. This ensures that the joint angles remain small even when swivelling, and power is transmitted smoothly and reliably. A wide-angle PTO shaft may only be necessary for tractors with a high lift height, to ensure sufficient clearance for the hydraulics and the drive.

How is the silage spreader secured?

Depending on the model, different overload protection devices are used. The CLASSIC, TITAN and GIGANT models are fitted as standard with a maintenance-free star-ratchet clutch. For the SILO FOX GIGANT, a cam-shift clutch is available as an option; this is particularly recommended for contractors or applications involving particularly high loads. On the SILO FOX KOLOSS, the cam-switch clutch is already part of the standard specification.

Another advantage: the overload protection is located directly on the machine between the reversing gearbox and the main gearbox. This ensures it is optimally protected whilst remaining easily accessible. Additional protection on the PTO shaft is therefore not necessary.

Why are there two cylinders on the swivel bracket?

The two hydraulic cylinders ensure a stable and smooth swivelling motion of the silage spreader. The forces generated during swivelling are distributed evenly across both cylinders, which protects the components and ensures the machine is guided precisely even under high loads. This increases stability and ensures a long service life.

Can the silage spreaders be filled with water?

Yes. All MAMMUT SILO FOX models come with water-filling as standard. This allows the distributor’s own weight to be increased, resulting in better compaction performance and optimal weight distribution. Depending on the model, up to 1,000 kg of additional weight can be added by filling with water.

What is the function of the blades fitted to the silage spreader?

The specially shaped throwing blades ensure that the silage is distributed quickly and evenly.
The material is stripped off at just the right moment, preventing it from being thrown back onto the tractor or machine. At the same time, the distribution direction can be individually adjusted to suit the conditions in the drive-in silo. This allows the forage to be distributed further forwards or more widely as required, ensuring even distribution right up to the edge of the silo.

How does the MAMMUT silage spreader differ from the competition?

The MAMMUT SILO FOX stands out in particular for:

an optimal pivot point close to the three-point hitch, allowing the spreader to be swung away from the silo wall
standard water filling
robust construction and large gearboxes
individually adjustable spread pattern
very even distribution right up to the edge of the silo
The Koloss silage spreader is the largest and most powerful spreader on the market

This ensures high efficiency and the best forage quality.

Why does the silage spreader’s gearbox make noise?

Slight running noises from the gearbox are completely normal for a drum-type Silage spreader. MAMMUT uses specially developed gearboxes with straight-toothed gears, as these transmit the high forces involved in distributing the silage particularly reliably. Straight-toothed gearboxes are extremely robust and durable; however, due to their design, they generate slightly more running noise than conventional gearboxes. These noises are therefore a normal characteristic of the design and do not indicate a fault.
