Episode 3 - The Danish experience
A unique performance
With short silage harvesting windows, farms are growing in size and requiring higher output machines.
On the big day, Vincent Hazenberg, Product Marketing manager gives his thoughts on the event.
With the increase in livestock operations, our customers are more and more looking for solutions that offer high work output but also preserve and ensure good forage quality. For this windrowing record project we partnered with Mr SKELDAL in real conditions with a job site totalling 250 hectares. We wish to demonstrate the work capacity of the for-rotor GA 15131, featuring a working width of 14.7 meters during a time period of 8 hours.
