Silage forks will be up front and centre on the Samco stand at Grass 2026 next week. The Limerick firm now offers silage forks in widths from 10 foot up to 16 foot with tines from six to seven foot.
It is planning to showcase 10ft, 15ft and 16ft models on the day.
Within its fork offering, Samco has said that wider spacing is becoming popular with precision chop silage contractors due to the grass been allowed to flow through the tines as it is levelled by the loader.

It notes that a reduced amount of ‘flicking’ is needed by the operator to level the load, which increases the forward momentum hence the amount of time spent rolling the pit can be increased. It also reduces wear and stress on both man and machine from less movement needed to level the load of grass.
Samco claims to build the only fork available on the market with the double ball self-angling bearing for a long service life. It says the positioning of the bearing system at the outside of the hinge points increases strength and reduces wear on the hinge points.
