COMPACTION AS THE BASIS
We paid a visit to the Kopper family during the second cut. On this hot June day, about 30 ha of grassland and forage for the herd of 80 cows and their offspring were being chopped. The farm, which is located at the foot of the Austrian mountain range called „Wechsel“, can boast great breeding success in the Fleckvieh sector: Alexander's cows have a barn average of 10,000 litres. The performance basis for this is the high quality of the basic feed, says Kopper. The family farm pays special attention to compaction in the silo - in the past, this was often the bottleneck in the silage chain. Now Alexander Kopper works with a SILO FOX "SF 230 Gigant" silage spreader and a SILO KOMPAKT "SK 250 H" silage roller.
"Harvesting technology is becoming more and more powerful, but often outdated technology is used in the silo. We used to work with two tractors in the bunker silo to cope with the rapidly delivered harvest. This cost not only time but also money. In addition, there was the strain on the drivers to look after each other at the heap. Today I am glad that I invested in MAMMUT technology. We can do the same work with a tractor with a better result," says Alexander.
