Buckton Centre Feed

The durable hardwood floor and stainless steel sides protect against the corrosive effects of silage

Full width floor slats ensure each load is fully cleaned out to minimise wastage. Slats are mounted to high-tensile calibrated link chain which has been proven for years in the gritty acidic silage environment, without rusting and seizing like roller chains

Low-maintenance, high-torque gearboxes are used on the floor and elevator drives for reliable power transmission

Buckton wagons will operate on most tractors, with only one set of double-acting hydraulics needed to drive the feed mechanisms

Floor and elevator chains are easily tensioned with stainless steel chain adjusters that won’t corrode and seize

The rear gate has a spring-loaded latch which automatically opens to protect the gate if the floor is accidentally reversed

The galvanised ladder provides access to reach over the sides for adding minerals or supplements to the load

Swivel tow coupling on the drawbar aids stability and dramatically reduces the risk of tractor rollovers on hilly terrain

Over-sized stub axles with sealed hubs give great service in demanding and wet conditions. Heavy-duty walking beam axles with replaceable Vesconite™ pivot bushes. Vesconite™ has built-in lubricants that translate into low friction and long life, even where no lubrication is applied

The pressed steel chassis and steel hollow section sub-frame are light but extremely strong, with torsional strength under high loads and challenging terrain
