Product Description
Take the Guesswork Out of Silage Quality
In the fast-paced world of fodder harvesting, accuracy is everything. Applying too little inoculant risks poor fermentation and heating; applying too much is a waste of an expensive product. Harvest Tec systems provide the reliability and control needed to ensure every tonne of forage is treated exactly to your specifications.
Why Precision Application Matters:
-
Optimised Fermentation: Ensures a rapid pH drop to lock in nutrients and prevent dry matter loss.
-
Reduced Spoilage: Prevents heating and mould growth at the pit face during feed-out.
-
Operational Efficiency: High-capacity tanks and in-cab controls mean less downtime for refilling and recalibrating.
