Description: Forage wagons like this one are towed behind a chopper to collect the hay or corn. They are available in several models, and also fitted on a truck (NAL #4781). At a storage silo, powered by a tractor, a bottom apron moves the load toward at one end where rotating teeth (visible in NAL #4781) deliver the forage into a hopper with an auger to a blower to deliver it into a tower silo. Alternatively, the auger may deposit the load into a bunker (horizontal) silo. The ensiled forage may be loaded into a feeder wagon and dropped (NAL #4782) by the wagon for fence line feeding of cattle. Alternatively, forages may be loaded into a grinder-mixer (NAL #4783) to grind hay and mix it with all of the other ration ingredients (even silage) to produce a total mixed ration (TMR). The TMR can be fed to cattle with a feed wagon (NAL #4782). Another mixer-grinder (NAL #4784) performs similar functions, but it can also deliver the TMR for fence line feeding to cattle.
