More and more JUMBOs with autocut

Report from an enthusiastic expert in Slovakia

The Slovakian specialist farm machinery magazine MM Press, s. r. o. held a competition last year for "The most innovative machine of the year 2010". One of the entries was a JUMBO silage wagon, which went on to win. The winning silage wagon belonged to Boris Hrdlicka, the managing director of Agrodružstvo Senné, in the Veľký Krtíš region of Slovakia. The wagon is a JUMBO 10010 L with the autocut knife sharpening system.

Boris Hrdlicka reports on his extremely positive experiences with the high capacity JUMBO loader wagon: „We have been handling our silage with the JUMBO 7200 L from Pöttinger since 2005. We are extremely satisfied with both the silage process and the chop quality. In 2011 we purchased the JUMBO 10010 L with the automatic knife sharpening system 'autocut'. We can confirm that this is represents a revolution in silage making with the loader wagon. The chop quality has been improved considerably thanks to autocut. Another advantage is that sharpening times are much shorter because you don't have to remove and refit the knives. The lower power requirement has reduced fuel consumption by around 0.75 l/ha. The whole knife sharpening process only lasts four minutes, which is of no significance Next time we buy a silage wagon then it will definitely be a JUMBO with the autocut knife sharpening system. We can really recommend this machine.“
