About Harvest Equipment

Harvesting a crop is one thing. Getting the crop out of the field is another. That’s where the machines in the Harvest Equipment category come in, and on FarmandPlant.ie, the equipment is organised into a handful of subcategories: Silage Trailers, Grain Trailers, Gravity Wagons, and Other Harvest Equipment (boll buggies, defoliators, etc.). Whether transporting brassicas, herbs, forage crops, maize, rapeseed, or other grain, harvest equipment allows for the temporary storage and hauling of a few thousand to tens of thousands of litres of crop to a final destination, such as a grain bin, processing plant, or animal feeding grounds.

Common Features

Although they serve a function as old as farming itself, machines in the harvest equipment category often come loaded with new and innovative functions. Silage trailers, for instance, can include self-locking hydraulic trailer doors or rubber-sealed doors for use with rapeseed. Hydraulically folding top sides simplify operation for root crop trailers. Load-sensing mechanisms are available to help operators monitor the load and stay under transport regulation limits. You’ll also find harvest equipment decked out with sensors, cameras, monitors, and other advanced features that make them safer to operate and easier to load and unload.

Silage Trailers

Silage trailers are sometimes called “forage wagons” or “forage boxes.” They typically offer front or rear unloading (or both) and can either be attached to a forage harvester or be pulled behind or next to one. Beaters or augers and a floor apron help move the crop. Some silage trailers also feature side discharge options to distributed feed in a line directly in front of livestock feeding areas. You'll find self-contained wagons, truck-mounted boxes, and semi-trailer options on the market.

Grain Trailers

Also referred to as "grain auger wagons" or “grain carts,” grain trailers are tractor-pulled machines that travel alongside or behind harvesters so combines or forage harvesters can offload their payload without stopping or leaving the field. After collecting the crop, the machines might also transport it to a waiting grain truck and use an auger system to unload the grain. They can include such components as directional downspouts, electric tarp systems, front-located augers that provide enhanced visibility, dual augers, and remote downspout control.

Gravity Wagons

Gravity wagons use gravity and their sloped side walls in concert with side- and bottom-located doors to offload material quickly, which is why you’ll sometimes see them referred to as “slant” or “gravity flow” wagons. Some models also feature specially coated interiors for faster unloading. Unlike grain carts that typically remain in the field, gravity wagons generally transport the crop to where it will permanently be stored. Grain wagons may include access ladders and viewing windows, small doors for drawing crop samples, side extensions to increase capacity, dual interior compartments, center dump chutes for pit unloading, and tarp covers.
