Dutch company Trioliet is going after the larger farmer with a new self-propelled machine. The mixing system is made up of the well-known Trioliet double vertical auger system. The specially designed mixing chamber also pushes the feed in a horizontal direction, and this dual-flow principle results in perfect mixing, according to the manufacturer. Trioliet says that the machine can be fitted with the electronic weighing system. It can also be delivered with the TFM tracker feed management programme, which allows straightforward listing and monitoring of the feed served.

The JCB four-cylinder common-rail diesel engine and the ECOdrive system improve fuel efficiency. I-Control takes care of the hydraulic systems automatically and load dependent. This means energy is always applied efficiently and maximum power is available when needed most, according to Trioliet.

The engine is also mounted on a new rail, making maintenance easier. The cabin features a hydraulic vertical adjustment system for an improved working view. All-wheel steering and drive is standard with 22.5in tyres. All machines have a hydrostatic drive with powershift transmission for ECOdrive during transport and traction during farmyard mode.

The telescopic cutting loading system has a maximum discharge height of 6m. Trioliet believes that the cutterhead leaves an optimal vertical cutting surface on the silage.

Taking the forage from the head is a 1.85m width cutting frame and belt conveyor. This ensures a quick transfer of material from the pit to the mixer wagon. Trioliet says that the Triotrac new edition is particularly suitable for larger cattle farms and dairy farms.

Padraig O’Kane from Trioliet says that the machine is suitable for some Irish farmers, and the big advantage is that there is now a tractor and loader required. It is a one-person operation that might also suit contractors.
