Welcome to the forage harvester category of Truck1.eu, your go-to platform for buying agricultural machinery. Here, we provide an expansive collection of new and used forage harvesters for sale to cater to your specific needs. Let's delve deeper to understand what these machines are and their applications.
A forage harvester, also known as a silage harvester, is a farm implement used to harvest forage plants to make silage. Silage is fermented, high-moisture stored fodder that can be fed to cattle, sheep, and other ruminants or used as a biofuel feedstock for anaerobic digesters.
Applications
Forage harvesters are versatile and can operate in a range of environments. They are primarily used in fields with corn and grass crops. The machine's adaptability to diverse terrains makes it a valuable addition to any agricultural operation.
Types of Forage Harvesters
The two main types of forage harvesters are:
- Self-propelled harvesters – Independent machines with their own engine and mobility.
- Tractor-mounted harvesters – Attached to a tractor and powered by its PTO (Power Take-Off).
Both types have similar structural features including a cutting unit, a processing unit, and a discharge spout. The cutting unit slices through crops, the processing unit chops and conditions the forage, and the discharge spout directs the processed forage into a wagon.
Key Specifications to Consider
When looking to buy a forage harvester, consider factors such as horsepower, cutting width, kernel processor, and efficiency. The horsepower determines the machine's capacity to handle heavy loads, while the cutting width affects its productivity. The kernel processor's quality influences the forage's nutritional value. Efficiency in fuel consumption and maintenance can also impact the overall cost of ownership.
Pricing and Market Trends in Europe
The forage harvester price varies depending on factors such as brand, model, year of manufacture, and overall condition. New machines typically cost more, but offer the latest technology and minimal wear and tear. Used forage harvesters, on the other hand, are more affordable and can provide excellent value if well-maintained. Regional trends also influence prices, with higher demand often leading to increased costs.

FAQ
The lifespan of a forage harvester depends on several factors, including the brand, model, how it is used, and how well it is maintained. However, with regular maintenance, many harvesters can last for 10 to 15 years or more.
While forage harvesters are primarily used on corn and grass crops, they can be adapted for use on other crops. The suitability of a harvester for a specific crop type may depend on the machine's specifications and the attachments used.
Regular maintenance of a forage harvester includes cleaning, lubricating, and checking the cutting unit, processing unit, and discharge spout for wear. Periodic servicing by professionals is also recommended to ensure optimal performance.
