Grass season is one of the busiest and most important periods in the agricultural calendar. When weather windows are short and conditions are right, dependable machinery can make all the difference between getting the crop secured efficiently and facing costly delays.
Here at McNae Agricultural Engineering we stock a strong selection of Fendt and Krone silage equipment designed to support every stage of the process, from mowing and tedding through to baling and forage collection. With machinery built for productivity, crop quality and reliable operation, farmers can head into the season with greater confidence.
Clean and Efficient Mowing
A clean, consistent cut is the starting point for producing quality silage. The Krone R320 CV Rear Mower offers a generous 3.2-metre working width and combines a robust, fully welded cutter bar with quick-change blades.
Its V-shaped steel conditioner tines help prepare the crop for faster and more consistent wilting, while adjustable spreading plates distribute material across a wider area. Features including the SafeCut disc protection system, adjustable cutter-bar suspension and optimised break-back protection make it a dependable choice for demanding grassland work.
Faster and More Consistent Tedding
Once the crop has been cut, effective tedding helps encourage even drying and prepares the grass for the next stage of the operation. The Fendt Lotus 770 Tedder has a 7.7-metre working width, six rotors and six tines per rotor, allowing it to cover large areas efficiently.
Fendt Performance tines are designed to move substantial volumes of grass while producing an even spread. The stable construction allows operators to work confidently at higher travel speeds, while adjustable spreading angles, edge-spreading equipment and an anti-wrapping system help maintain consistent results across different field conditions.
High-Capacity Forage Collection
For farms looking to move large volumes of crop efficiently, the Krone RX370 GL OptiGrass forage wagon provides an impressive 37m³ capacity.
Its 54-blade cutting system produces a theoretical chop length of 28mm, while the SpeedSharp sharpening system helps maintain cutting performance. An automatic loading system, onboard silage-additive equipment, camera system and LED work lights give operators greater control throughout long working days. Heavy-duty hydraulic running gear also helps the machine remain stable and capable when working with substantial loads.
Reliable Baling Performance
We also supply machinery such as the Fendt Rotana 130F, a fixed-chamber round baler designed to produce dense, consistently formed bales.
Its 2.4-metre pick-up helps gather wide swaths cleanly, while the 25-knife cutting system processes the crop efficiently before it enters the chamber. This makes it a strong option for operators looking for dependable baling performance during demanding seasonal workloads.
Supporting Farmers Through the Season
Good preparation remains essential before machinery enters the field. Blades, tines, belts, filters, tyres and lubrication points should all be inspected in advance to reduce the risk of unnecessary downtime when conditions are at their best.
Alongside its selection of Fendt and Krone grassland machinery, McNae Agricultural provides parts and servicing support to help customers keep equipment operating throughout the season.
