Siloking Feeders: Precision Weighing and Efficient Feeding, Now with Flexible Finance from Kverneland
As we head into winter 2024, Irish farmers are facing one of the most challenging fodder crises in recent years. A combination of wet weather and poor grass growth throughout the summer has left many farms struggling to produce enough silage for the winter months. With silage reserves depleted from the prolonged winter housing period earlier this year, the pressure is on to stretch what little feed is available. In these conditions, the right feeding equipment, such as the Siloking TrailedLine 4.0 Premium and Classic Compact Feeders, has never been more essential. Thankfully, Kverneland Group Ireland has introduced new finance schemes to help farmers secure this crucial machinery before the winter.
The TrailedLine 4.0 Premium: Power, Precision, and Durability
The Siloking TrailedLine 4.0 Premium Feeders are built for the professional dairy farmer who demands precision and efficiency. These feeders feature a twin-auger system that provides perfect mixing of feed components, such as silage, beet, straw, and concentrates, ensuring every cow gets the right balance of nutrients. This level of consistency is critical for high-yielding herds, where optimising feed intake directly impacts milk production and animal health.
What truly sets the TrailedLine 4.0 Premium apart is its advanced weighing system. The hollow beam frame and high-precision load cells offer kilogram-accurate measurements, even on uneven yard surfaces, ensuring that every load is calculated with pinpoint accuracy. This allows progressive farmers to fine-tune their feed rations, reduce waste, and control costs—all critical factors in today’s highly competitive dairy industry.
Allan Hetherington, Product Specialist at Kverneland Group Ireland, explains:
“For professional dairy farmers aiming to maximise efficiency, the TrailedLine 4.0 Premium offers the precision and control needed to optimise feed conversion and lower costs. It’s a machine that pays for itself by helping you get the most out of every kilogram of feed, which is critical during this tough year for silage.”

Classic Compact Feeders: Big Performance for Smaller Spaces
Smaller dairy farms can also benefit from Siloking’s advanced feeding technology with the Classic Compact Feeders. These feeders offer the same precision mixing as the larger models, with a single vertical auger that handles feedstuffs with ease. The compact design ensures easy manoeuvrability, even in tighter spaces, while maintaining the high-quality performance Siloking is known for.
New Finance Schemes for Q4 2024
Understanding the financial pressures farmers face, Kverneland Group Ireland has introduced two exclusive finance options to make it easier to invest in Siloking Feeders:
1 + 2 Annuals @ 0% Finance on 50% of the VAT inclusive selling price

These finance schemes, available until December 31, 2024, provide flexibility for farmers looking to invest in high-performance feeding technology without straining their finances.
Allan Hetherington further explains:
“With feed costs accounting for up to half of the direct costs in milk production, having precise control over feeding is crucial. Siloking’s technology helps farmers make the most of every kilogram of feed, which is especially important in a year like this when fodder is scarce.”
