Carefully drive the AP silage block cutter into the silage. Do not insert 
the tines completely in the silage but keep a 50 mm space from the 
tubular frame to the silage. Push the tines or the closed bottom down 
on the silage. This prevents possible bending of the tines or closed 
bottom,  

 

WARNING:   

It is very important that the cutting frame is always 
loaded evenly, to avoid twisting of the machine! With 
regard to this follow the correct order during cutting 
of the blocks : divide the width of the silage always in 
an uneven number blocks to cut and keep the system 
in the cutting sequence as indicated in image 4. In 
this image 'A' stands for the working width of the AP 
silage block cutter and 'B' for the width of the AP 
silage block cutter minus a certain distance! 

 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Close the cutting frame of the AP silage block cutter completely,  

 

Tilt the AP silage cutter slightly back,  

 

WARNING:   

Keep the filled AP silage cutter low during transport 
with regard to the stability. 

 

 

Manoeuvre the filled AP silage block cutter to the location on which you 
want to place the cut silage block,  

 

Open the cutting frame completely,  

 

10 

Drive backwards slowly, to avoid spilling,  

 

11 

At the filling of an auger bucket or feed mixer :  
Slightly tilt the AP silage cutter forwards and slowly open the cutting 
frame so that the feed slides gradually from the tines into the mixer,  

 

WARNING:   

Never use the AP silage block cutter to slide feed 
blocks over the feed passage.
