The addition of a preservative when harvesting forage is the most important thing you can do to preserve its nutrient value and promote optimum palatability for livestock. Preservatives allow you to harvest at a higher moisture content. This means you put up a better quality crop containing more of the valuable leaf matter with less of the problems associated with heating.

And when it comes to applying granular preservatives, nothing is more accurate or easy to use than Valmars Forage Preservative Applicator. This applicator has been extensively researched and field tested to provide you with the most dependable and efficient means of applying preservatives during forage harvesting.

Valmars universal mounting stand allows you to easily attach the applicator to most makes and models of balers and forage harvesters.

Valmars four-outlet system with a 12- or 28-groove plastic metering roller allows you to precisely distribute granules at a rate of up to five pounds per minute. Preservative is distributed through flexible heavy-duty delivery hoses with rigid outlet tubes.

Valmars precision manufacturing keeps the weather out, and the hopper screen prevents foreign materials from entering. It features a 2.8-cubic-foot capacity with a hopper bottom shut off for easy access to metering rollers for regular cleaning.

Monitor and control all applicator operations with Valmars convenient in-cab unit. With its large, easy to read digital display youll have complete control of metering by adjusting the roller RPMs. An alarm sounds when theres a problem with the system.
