use from this product.
Application
The Silage Defacer is designed and built by Kubota by
Land Pride. This attachment efficiently loosens and
breaks apart tightly packed or frozen silage and other
feeds, while leaving the face of the bunker evenly
groomed, minimizing spoilage. Additional design
features include curved tines welded in a spiral
orientation to keep the rotor from bouncing off the face of
the bunker, and a frame designed around providing
beneficial visibility to the operator. The 96" (2.4m) wide
Silage Defacer will meet the needs of owners and
operator’s having skid steers, track loaders, or tractors
equipped with a front loader having a hydraulic flow
capacity rating of 12 to 25 gpm (45 to 95 Lpm) at
1500 - 3500 psi (10.3 - 24.1 MPa). This attachment is
available with two hitch options: A quick attach hitch
extension and a Euro hitch extension.

“Specifications & Capacities”
on page 24 and

information and performance enhancing options.
