Grass 2026 at Cuffesgrange Co Kilkenny. \ Odhran Ducie

Samco Agricultural Engineering put to work and displayed several of its new silage forks at Grass 2026. The Limerick manufacturer now builds silage forks from 10ft up to 16ft wide, with up to 7ft tines available.
It says wider spacing is also becoming popular, as the grass is allowed to flow through the tines, thus reducing the amount of ‘flicking’ needed, allowing more time for rolling.
Samco claims to have the only silage fork available with double ball self-angling bearings for long service use. It says the positioning of the bearing system at the outside of the hinge points increases strength and reduces wear.

It claims to have the lowest weight to working width of forks on the market, by using laser-tube cutting technology, using hot-rolled box iron section in the construction made from high-grade steel.
Samco is using heavy duty 70mm x 50mm Hardox on its 6ft tines and 100mm x 50mm Hardox on its 7ft square tines, which are welded through the 180mm hot rolled main frame. These tines are spaced at either 280mm of 335mm. The firm is welding on a 10mm Hardox bottom wearing plate to protect wearing the main frame.
