I know a picture's worth a thousand words,but it would take me longer to upload a picture with crawl up internet that type 1000 words so bear with me.I saw a new piece of equipment,may not be new design,but new never the less yesterday that has me somewhat stumpped.It's a 16-18 foot box with 6-8 foot sidewalls on a trailler with 4 larger than truck sized tires on it.It's pto driven,tractor pulled,has a round baler pickup and a roto chop behind the pickup.Is this somthing that can be used to pick up windrows of haylage ,chop and haul all in one package?If so,do you just haul it home and dump it?Didn't look like a high dump hookup.I didn't get the name,it had grey steel box walls and red on the pickup.Thanks for any insight lol.pd.

Hey Phillip, I'm a fellow islander and I've been watching this site for awhile but this is my first time posting. I think what you are talking about is the Pottinger silage wagon at Kensington Ag Services. I seen it demo'd this summer at a farm where I was chopping silage. Silage gets picked up out of the windrow, forced through a set of stationary knives, and an apron chain keeps hauling it into the box until full. you must then drive it to the bunker or pile to unload.

Very popular in europe. May be a trade from an immigrant. There's a few up in Quebec along the St. Lawrence too.
Some people use them for lifting straw in bulk and chop long for bedding. Have to be careful about heating.

sounds like a variation of one of these

I borrow an old one from a neighbor and pick up loose hay in small places.
Can pick the older ones up for a few bucks.

Spencer's right,I did see it at Kensington Ag,it was a brand new one too.I was talking to a neighbor today and he said it's used exactly like Spencer described as well,apparently they sold one to NS or NB last summer.I think if you have to head out on the road,or even down the lane and back to where you left off every load,it would be fairly slow compared to a chopper or a baler for that matter,which in most cases is faster than chopping,unless you have a large self propelled machine.Thanks for the input,just never saw one before.
They have their place for that small farm with one 50 acre field BESIDE THE BARN. After that it goes to hell in a handbag. Fast. Most of those wagons are probably only picking up 3 tonne on a load... and they can't drive particularly fast while picking up either. Neighbours had 3 of them here at one time before they switched to chop. They ended up mounting one body minus the cutterhead on a truck and using the second on a tractor for hauling from the chopper/high dump. Probably cover 2-3 times the ground in one day like that.

Some of them are pretty big now, for one man there could be an
advantage.
Some use them for daily green feed for dairy kept in barns.
They put a front mounted disc mower on and lift straight into
the wagon and take it back for feed.

I've read the wagon hold about 15 tonnes. I'm sure that varies a
lot depending on wilt.
