Features
LIGHTNING-FAST UNLOAD
Our independently controlled hydraulic drive system sets us apart from the others in speed and convenience. Our rear- and front-unload options can be done right from the cab with the switch of a button clocking in at 4-minutes and 1-minute to unload respectively.
ROBUST CAPACITY
Pick the box size fit for you — 16, 18, 20, or 24-ft. — with corrugated-steel sides ready to take on the acidic environment of forage harvest.
VERSATILE HOOK UP OPTION
The standardized frame and sub-frame design means you can potentially mount our forage boxes to anything — be running gear or truck mount.
NO-FUSS ENGINEERING FOR EASIER MAINTENANCE
We’ve drastically reduced the number of unique parts on this machine. These streamlined components translate to a simple, low-maintenance forage box that just about anyone can service.
DURABLE FLOOR
The box floors are constructed with tough 1/2-in thick densilite material for reduced thermal expansion (no waves and buckles here) and minimal wear. These floors provide a slick surface for material to slide across to reduce trapped moisture buildup.
ALL-AROUND AFFORDABLE
With the 2100 Series your savings come upfront and throughout the life of ownership. Our engineers drastically streamlined components to create a simple design that equates to reduced maintenance costs and fewer breakdowns for an overall more economical package.
OPTIONAL GATE DELAY
Art’s Way gate delay option is activated with the start of the floor chain and holds the rear end gate open for smooth unload of material. It enables you to have a complete clean out. It swings shut as the floor disengages and you drive forward with a positive lock.
