Extract

When the subject of mobile equipment for dispensing forages is raised, bunker silage immediately springs to mind as the form of forage concerned. Current farming practice confirms this reaction to be generally correct but mobile equipment is also used for dispensing forage in the form of tower silage, green forage and occasionally dried grass, hay and straw. This paper will deal primarily with equipment for dispensing silage but will not entirely exclude consideration of other forms of forage.
