The 64m³ tub on the Biga Mega Mammoet HD trailed mixer wagon on the Dutch manufacturer’s Agritechnica stand feeds 400 cows at a time.
Aimed at farms feeding cows at multiple locations, it depends on the transport distances, but the company reckons that it is for European farms with around 2,000 cows.
The three-stage powershift softens the start-up load, but a tractor with at least 300hp is needed to power the four vertical augers to mix over 25t of material. This exits through up to four hydraulically operated discharge doors.
With three-steered axles and full road approval, the four-axled wagon, which weighs 27t, costs around €200,000. The company has delivered a dozen units this year. The show machine is sold to a Belgian dairy farm. Another one of the 12m-long wagons has gone to Denmark, and there are a few running in Poland and Ukraine.
The Mega Mammoet is available with 20cm side extensions for the North American market. This increases the capacity to 70m³.
