Ration feeder

Ration feeder

In 1977, Holaras was the first manufacturer in the Netherlands to develop the ration feeder.

The ration feeder can be used for removing silage and feeding livestock with maize, brewer's grains, pulp, potato fibres, beets and concentrates. The ration feeder is supplied as standard with a three-point section, a thick base plate (6 mm), a spreader/stirring roller, and duplex chain and sprockets. The Walterscheid PTO is supplied with the A model

Our ration feeder is an indispensable aid

The feeder can be used for removing silage and feeding livestock with maize, brewer's grains, pulp, potato fibres, beets and concentrates. Short chopped grass approx. 4 to 5 cm long can also be processed in the machine thanks to an additional patented provision.

Indispensable for mechanical feeding

Holaras launched the ration feeder in 1977, since when these machines have become an indispensable aid for the mechanical feeding of all kinds of products on many livestock farms.

The standard version of the Holaras ration feeder is suitable for a tractor three-point linkage, but it can also be attached to a front loader, telehandler or forklift.
