Giltrap RF9 Forage Wagon

Key Features

  • Tandem axle with 3 positions for variable draw-bar loading
  • Manual feed rate control
  • Ladder, mudguards/walkways and LED tail lights fitted
  • Double chassis ready for scales
  • High tensile floor shaft
  • Priority belt speed control
  • Stainless steel sides for corrosion and wear resistance
  • Mesh front screen and back gate for good visibility
  • Self-releasing back gate - opens automatically when bulk unloading
  • Central greasing system for difficult-to-access bearings and remote greasing on tandem axle bushes and elevator
  • Cast iron bearings for long life
  • 35mm treated T&G pine floor for extra durability

Heavy-duty mudguards provide protection and also serve as a platform to see into the wagon.

Driven by a hydraulic motor the side delivery belt operates at a constant speed for consistent feed placement.

A double chassis is standard on all wagons, allowing an upgrade to scales at any time.

High tensile alloy cast links form part of the elevator chain assembly, providing a rigid two-bolt fastening system for the elevator bars.

Optional Extras

Please select your extras from the options listed below then click ‘REQUEST A QUOTE’.

Forage Wagon wheel options

There are many types of tyre options available.  They all have various tread patterns and ground pressure properties to allow them to continue working in difficult conditions.

Below are sizes and types usually fitted to Forage Wagons.

Hydraulic brakes

Hydraulic brakes provide operator safety and allow machine operation in difficult terrain.

Hydraulic brakes are available for most machines.  On tandem axles, brakes are fitted to the front hubs only.  If necessary, 4-wheel braking is available.  The drum brakes work off external tractor hydraulics and have an adjustable relief valve and hoses included in the kit.

Braking systems are also available for tractors fitted with factory braking circuits that then operate when the brake pedal is depressed.

Wireless weighing technology

Wireless technology is used to relay wagon data from the controller on the wagon to the control unit mounted on the tractor.  Designed and manufactured specifically for forage wagons, this system integrates scales and feeding.  Powerfully capable, yet simple to use, the controller has large buttons and an easy-to-read back-lit display.  The control unit allows the operator to constantly monitor weight changes, all from the tractor seat.

Loading the wagon becomes more accurate.  With the digital display mounted in the cab, sunlight or bad weather won't be a problem anymore.  Each load can be monitored and guesswork reduced.

Upgrade to wireless scales with manual floor control, loading the wagon becomes more accurate. With the digital display mounted in the cab, sunlight or bad weather won't be a problem anymore. Each load can be monitored and guesswork reduced. Feed rate is still controlled by manually altering the control on the wagon.
Upgrade to wireless control from manual control. This can be added to Option 1 Scales or fitted by itself to give total control over the feed-out rate. Great if you are feeding bales.
Add wheel sensor for ground speed compensation. Paddock feeding is easier too. Undulating terrain is now compensated for by automatically adjusting the feed rate while you drive. If you speed up, so does the machine. If option 4 is also fitted, this gives the operator all the advantages of Option 5 - Full Automatic Control.
Upgrade to wireless scales with floor control. Loading the wagon becomes more accurate. With the digital display mounted in the cab, sunlight or bad weather won't be a problem anymore. Each load can be monitored and guesswork reduced. Set a feed weight limit. The machine will feed out the amount you've entered then sound a beeper and stop the floor movement. Stop, start and adjust the discharge rate when needed, all while on the move, from the tractor seat.
Upgrade to wireless scales with full automatic control. This combines options 3 and 4. The feed pad now becomes simple maths rather than complicated guesswork. Enter information such as your overall feed pad length and how much you want to feed. The machine does the rest by dividing how much you want to feed over the length of the bins. No more unequal feeding and hungry cows.

Extra RF wireless display monitor
Extra RF cradle & wiring loom
K80 ball hitch
Silage cage complete with mechanical or hydraulic
Raising blocks

Get extra height easily.

Raising blocks give extra clearance when towing a wagon over a silage stack or feeding into bins.  These bolt between the axle and the machine and are available in 100mm or 150mm sizes. A secondary option of extra height is required for feeding into bins. A Quick Hitch on the tractor is also required.

Conveyor autoshift

Move the conveyor bed in and out with this hydraulically powered kit.

Moving the cross conveyor bed out by 200-250mm will place feed in your bins better, saves tyres and damage to bins by not having to drive as close.  It requires one set of double-acting hydraulic outlets.

900mm chain & slat conveyor

In lieu of 900mm belt.

Great if feeding really light product or a lot of square bales.

Larger opening on cross conveyor

Suits bales.

This option increases the size of the outlet for the cross conveyor. Better when delivering high volumes and square bales.

Cross conveyor extension 900mm long

For feeding into bins when a side lift wagon cannot be used. Requires a double-acting hydraulic remote service.
