Designed and manufactured by Blaney Agri in County Antrim, the Forager X10 has already proved popular on UK farms, saving hours of back-breaking labour and reducing bale waste by about 20 per cent. But now the X10 has been re-engineered and launched this autumn with a host of enhanced features that allow it to outperform any other type of equipment on all bale types.
Blaney has made the Forager X10 bale carrier 25 per cent stronger. Drive components have also been beefed up to withstand forces well in excess of 50 tonnes, and more-powerful hydraulics give generous capabilities to work with the heaviest bales year after year.
Innovative new feed out spikes, a new bale chamber and unique side rollers are designed to deal with the most difficult bales.
The new Forager X10 is now more compact, ideal for getting into tight spaces and narrow passageways. Its unique safety guards to protect livestock from injury are now 50 per cent stronger and more compact. The extra thick 50mm sprung tines are designed for road travel and developed to handle the heaviest bales.
The Forager X10L, a special loader/telehandler version of the bale unroller, is also being built to this enhanced specification. Fitted to any front loader or telescopic, it means that high stacked bales are no longer a problem, and silage can be fed along passageways, into feeders or used to unroll into mixer wagons to speed up processing times.
