SelfLine 4.0 Compact

The Kverneland SILOKING SelfLine 4.0 Compact is our low-height, self-propelled mixer/feeder for farms with narrow feed passages, low barn entrances and confined working areas.

Its compact design and manoeuvrable 3-point chassis make it easy to move around the farm, while two-sided feed discharge allows the ration to be placed accurately without driving over the feed. This helps keep the feed table clean and supports a more efficient daily feeding routine.

With the Kverneland SILOKING SelfLine 4.0 Compact, farmers get the benefits of self-propelled feeding in a machine that remains well suited to traditional farm buildings. The low overall height, compact dimensions and tight turning behaviour make it a strong choice for family farms, as well as larger farms with several feeding areas or different feeding groups.

Kverneland SILOKING’s removable heavy-duty magnet protects animals and machinery by capturing metallic foreign objects in the feed. Unlike conventional systems, the magnet housing can be dismantled from the magnet from outside the feed mixer. Therefore, separated metal parts can be removed safely and easily.
The innovative design allows the SILOKING magnet housing to be removed externally from the feed mixer, eliminating the magnet’s holding force during cleaning. This enables captured metal particles to be removed quickly, safely and without risk of injury to the operator.
For cleaning, the permanent magnet is positioned close to the discharge door. Once opened, the outer housing can be easily unlocked using the supplied tool and pulled outwards. Separated foreign particles can safely be removed and disposed of outside the mixing hopper.

NIR - Near InfraRed Spectroscopy
Feeding based on reliable data

Precise control of the feed ration supports herd health, feed efficiency and consistent milk production.

Visual assessment cannot consistently guarantee maximum milk yield from every kilogram of dry matter.
With Kverneland SILOKING's NIR System mounted at the front of the self-propelled milling head, you can monitor feed composition, rather than relying on estimation.

It pays to take a close look at the quality of the basic forage, ideally at the time of silage removal. Kverneland SILOKING's solution to this task is Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS).

This technology, which is available as an option on all Kverneland SILOKING self-propelled machines, makes use of near-infrared light to analyse the dry matter of the forage components. It enables continuous, non-contact and non-destructive real-time analysis. (This equipment can also be retrofitted.)

As dry matter content can vary significantly within the silo, accurately calculated feed rations are essential.
An incorrectly calculated feed ration brings four major disadvantages:

• Lower feed efficiency
• Metabolic issues for the cow
• Varying milk yields
• Higher amount of feed residue

With Kverneland SILOKING SelfLine, you can avoid this expense, and have a great impact on your profitability.

The Kverneland SILOKING NIR System delivers reliable data for more accurate rations, greater control of herd health and consistent milk production. The NIR System offers particular advantages for silos with layers of feed of different origins and specific weights. As opposed to random dry matter measurement, the system can accurately adjust during feed removal based on the values measured in real time. It knows the dry matter content of the basic feed fed in and can adapt the planned target component.

Kverneland SILOKING DryScan®
Real-time dry matter measurement for self-propelled feed mixers.

Consistent feeding starts with a consistent ration. However, fluctuating dry matter levels in forage can make this difficult to achieve.

Kverneland SILOKING DryScan® provides an intelligent solution to this challenge. The system determines the dry matter content of the feed, in real time, during loading.

As a result, the fresh matter is automatically adjusted so that the ration is consistent every day, supporting stable rumen health, reducing feed waste and avoiding empty feed tables.

When combined with Kverneland SILOKING Feeding Management, feeding can be digitally planned, documented, monitored and optimised, delivering greater accuracy and reliability for modern dairy and livestock operations.
