36–52m³ Magnon Forage Wagon

The Magnon series is aimed primarily at agricultural businesses and contractors . The top of the Strautmann range of forage wagons are equipped with a number of new features including a Moving Front Wall, as well as Flex-Load pick-up and Exact Cut.

The Magnon 8 is a compact machine with a loading capacity of 36m³ to 44m³ (DIN). It has a smaller ‘external’ footprint to other wagons with similar DIN. 

The Magnon 10 is the big brother wagon with a loading capacity of 40m³  to 52m³ (DIN).

The hydraulically moving front wall provides the Magnon with increased capacity. When the wagon starts filling, the front wall is in a vertical position towards the rear of the wagon, but when chopped grass builds up and pushes against the tailgate sensor the front panel moves forward, in three stages, to increase capacity.  This ensures maximum density is achieved throughout the loading operation. 

The movement of the front wall provides an additional 4.5 m³ loading capacity when the cargo space is completely filled.  When discharging, the front wall is hydraulically moved to the rear of the machine to assist with unloading.

This enables the Magnon 8 to have a smaller ‘external’ footprint to other wagons with similar DIN making it the ideal machine for agricultural businesses and contractors who are dependent on compact dimensions.

The Magnon series is equipped with a new ‘Flex-Load’ pick-up which has six rows of plastic tines arranged in chevron formation. The pick-up is powered hydraulically for infinitely variable adjustment.

• Less breakage of tines
• Minimised tine wear
• Change of tines in under a minute
• Tines flex to adapt to ground contours
• Gentle pick up for ground protection
• Less contamination of fodder 

More information on the flex-load pick-up can be found here. 

• Picking-up width of 2.25m
• 6 helically arranged rows of plastic tines for reduced contamination of fodder.
• Low maintenance camless pick-up with very few wearing parts, compared to traditional 'cam' pick-up systems.

A new cutting system with a cutting edge on both sides of the re-designed double sided blade, a 35mm chop-length is reliably guaranteed. The knives have a rapid-trigger protection function, which automatically retracts them from the chop channel if a foreign object is detected.

They then return automatically to their working position, maximising work-rates while minimising damage to the knives. 44 double sided 'Exact-Cut' knives are fitted to the Magnon 8, whilst 48 double-sided 'Exact-Cut' knives are fitted to the Magnon 10. 

• Easy cutting cut due to optimum geometry between the cutting knives and rotor
• Knife protection without use of tools
• Turn-able knives due to double-sided blade for longer sharpening intervals and better cutting quality
• Individual knife protection with knife quick-change system
• Readjustment via threaded spindles for worn knives
• Hydraulic extending and retracting of the entire knife bar

 The Forage box is 2.25m wide and consists of four round steel chains (10 x 31 mm) embedded in the steel platform floor. They each have a breaking strain of 13t. The entire platform is powder-coated for protection against corrosion.

 The body has been designed for maximum interior width to increase transport capacity. The continuous side panels with the reinforced side posts give the vehicle stability. A large 6-foot access door with a folding ladder always ensures safe entry into the vehicle.

 Safe transport of the loaded material can be guaranteed with the optional cargo space cover. This solution is hydraulically operated via a swivel drive and can be easily operated from the tractor seat. Available on the Magnon 10 models only. 

A boogie tandem chassis is standard on the two smaller Magnon 8 models (370 and 410) and a hydraulic tandem chassis is standard on the Magnon 8 450 model smaller Magnon 10 430 and 470 models.  It is optional on the 370 and 410 Magnon 8 models.  All models come with 4 x 710/50 R26.5 wheels as standard. 

However, the hydraulic tandem chassis can be fitted with wheels up to 800/45 R 30.5, thus enabling 30.5" tyres. Larger wheels offer increased stability which is ideal for sloping ground.

•  Hydraulic tandem chassis standard on all Magnon 8 450 models, and on Magnon 10 430 and 470 models
• Optimum driving comfort due to distribution of load on all wheels
• Stable driving characteristics even when traversing hills

A tridem chassis with an axle load of 27t, active steering and lifting axle is an option on the Magnon 10 series. Hydraulic active steering is standard on largest Magnon 10 530 model. 

• Electro-hydraulic forced steering axle system for the first and third axle optional on all Magnon 10 models
• Integrated lift axle 
• Standard on the Magnon 530 model with a gross vehicle weight rating of 34t

The Strautmann ISOBUS control with its intuitive menu navigation and various automatic functions is part of the standard equipment. For maintenance work, the drawbar and the cutting unit can be easily operated from the outside.  A 5.7" control terminal can be offered as an option if an ISOBUS-compatible tractor is not available. 

For travelling over silage clamps, all models are equipped with a hydraulic folding drawbar with two double-acting cylinders. A hydraulic drawbar suspension ensures an even smoother ride during road travel.

In order to increase the periods of use of the forage wagons, the Strautmann forage wagon offers the option to be used as fully-fledged forage transport wagon. For this purpose, basic standard equipment is provided for these vehicles, such as:

• A solid tailgate with mechanical locking mechanism
• Open cargo space without body brackets or ropes
• Hydraulically folding front panel
