MX self-loading and forager-filled forage wagons

• Steel structure and steel floor
• Pivoting headboard
• Double chain-and-slat floor slopes at front
• With or without discharge rollers

The MX dual-purpose forage wagons with steel structures are made to excel in the toughest conditions. The pivoting headboard makes for easier filling - both from the forage harvester or the pick-up. The heavy-duty chain-and-slat floor feeds even heavy forage swiftly and consistently to the rear for unloading.

The MX 370 and 400 models have a hydraulic headboard which pivots to various positions to support the filling and unloading processes. For example, when the machine is filled by a forage harvester, the headboard pivots all the way forward to maximize the capacity (left). By comparison, when the machine is gathering material through the pick-up, the headboard is nearly vertical to optimize the filling process. Once the loading area is filled to capacity, the headboard pivots towards the tractor to expand the capacity by 4 m³. To speed up unloading, the headboard can pivot back and forth and support the work of the floor chain.

The MX 330 has a vertical headboard which is available with a foldable hatch at the top as an option. At the touch of a button, this hatch folds forward for easier filling from the forager whereas it is folded rearwards when the machine is loading grass via the pick-up.

It is possible to order optional LED lights for the MX models which can be fitted on the inside and outside of the body. The inside is illuminated by four optional LED light bands that are installed at the top of the sides while up to four LED work lights can be installed on the outside for better visibility. All lights can be switched from the operator terminal.

The four floor chains are made of high-tensile tube steel and the slats are made of channel steel. The chains are driven by two hydromotors – one on either side of the machine – and convey the heaviest material fast and effectively to the rear for quick unloading. The floor slopes at its front end, thereby shortening the passageway into the machine and reducing the strain on the crop as well as input power whilst boosting the intake rate.

The MX GD models have two or three discharge rollers which unload the material in a uniform mat. Overload protected by the clutch in the main driveshaft, the rollers discharge the material fast and efficiently.
