New generation of self-propelled diet feeders launches

Lucas G has announced the launch of a new generation of self-propelled diet feeders, Classic and Performance (capacity up to 24m3) for intensive users or farm collectives.

The new ranges join the Compact model (capacity up to 16m3), which launched in 2022.

New features for additional operator comfort include: a new ergonomic command arm and joystick, the option of a new pedal mode for driving and a new layout of the control screens.

Operating comfort and visibility have also been enhanced with the addition of a new 360-degree panoramic glass cab for optimum working conditions and safety.

The new cab is fitted as standard with a comfortable air seat, air conditioning, a sun visor and a front defrosting window.

Additionally, version 8 of the DTM feed management software, has a more intuitive interface for precise remote programming of recipes and even distribution of rations.

There are 12 models across the two ranges and a multitude of possible configurations: engine up to 245hp and six cylinders for a forward speed of 25kph or 40kph; and three loading modes (fibre, supplement and maize) with the possibility of differentiating mill speed and loading belt.

The machine also features automatic controls for greater productivity. It is equipped with an automotive system and a distribution box.

Finally, options available include: two extra knives, a hydraulic hopper, LED lights, cameras, etc.
