Silage cutters Hydrofox HQ+

Silage block cutter with lifting frame for reaching high heights

Hydrofox HQ Plus – a success story since 1971

In 1971, Strautmann introduced the first silage block cutter, which fundamentally changed the technology of silage collection. To this day, this device remains reliable solution, ensuring particularly clean feed removal from the trench.

Thanks to the improved knife drive Hydrofox HQ+ the model offers loading capacity from 1.75 to 2.80 m², while maintaining perfectly smooth cutting surface.
