Reliable Feeding
Hard-packed and frozen silage makes feeding
more than a routine chore.
Patz gives you two solutions to the problem the
RD-820 ring-drive silo unloader and the 988
surface-drive silo unloader. Both have a double
hook gathering chain with hardened steel cutters
and claws that cut through frozen and packed
silage.
• Spring-tensioned powered cutter keeps silo
walls free of buildup.
• Preset depth-of-cut control makes feeding
truly automatic (98B).
Powerful blowers with adjustable impeller
blades do the job.
We'll show you how to get the most performance
for your money.
