Shear grabs as key machines for large farms

Henryk Schultz is the farm manager of Agrargenossenschaft Oberes Elbtal Reinhartsdorf e.G. With a total of 1100 head of cattle, 900 hectares of arable land and 450 hectares of grassland under cultivation, the astonishing dimensions of the farm are clear to see. Due to the decentralised location of the farm and the transport chains, Henryk invested in two shear grabs. Earlier removal devices could not withstand the daily pressure. With a high feed volume, a robust key machine is essential for the removal process. After using the MAMMUT shear grabs, a particularly smooth cut surface became visible and there was no undesirable secondary fermentation. The robust design of the MAMMUT shear grabs was therefore convincing in the daily removal process on the large farm.

Due to the distribution of our land across nine different localities, our silos are also located far away from the farm site. This is why we need our own transport chains for feeding our livestock. The investment in two shear grabs therefore enables us to be more flexible in our removal. With a daily feed of 20 tonnes of maize silage and 25 tonnes of grass silage, the removal equipment requires particular stability. Previous removal devices could not withstand the daily pressure and also caused an unsightly cut pattern in the silage stock. Thanks to the design and the welded cutting edge, the shear grabs glides effortlessly through the forage. The smooth cutting surface prevents unwanted air ingress and preserves the quality of our base forage. With MAMMUT shear grabs, premature wear and tearing in the silage stock is a thing of the past.
