When ordered with the CropPro™ crop processor--an onboard roller mill-- Model FP230 or FP240 forage harvester chops and processes corn silage in one operation. You eliminate the added step and expense of a stationery roller mill, while still producing silage that's easy for your herd to digest. With the CropPro processor you can help increase milk production without increasing forage tonnage.

CropPro™ crop processor shears cobs and stems and also crushes and cracks kernels, providing more effective use of the cob and stover.
CropPro™ processor also let you increase the length of cut--customers report better fermentation and more effective fiber when processing with a longer length of cut
Two 77/8-inch diameter rolls spin at slightly different speeds for more effective processing
Roll gap is easily adjusted from 1/16 inch to 5/8 inch--a narrower gap is for thoroughly processing dry crops while a wider roll gap is for processing high-moisture crops
7-foot-long, 10-inch-diameter auger delivers silage from the CropPro™ processor to the harvester's blower fan
When making haylage, the CropPro™ processor can be by-passed simply by removing a baffle plate
