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.

Continuous Flow System Due to the interaction of the different components, the Continuous Flow System unit ensures excellent loading performance and a low power requirement. The pick-up, Continuous Flow System roller, rotor and double-cut cutting unit are optimally matched to each other. This results in an excellent cutting quality and power efficient drive, saving time and money. |
 |
|
Low power requirement The newly developed pick-up and the Continuous Flow System drum spreads out and disperses the swathe and feeds it over the entire width of the rotor and the cutting unit. The rotor, which is mounted 100mm higher, conveys the pre-wilted green fodder through the shortened conveyor duct into the cargo space, thus saving energy and reducing the power requirement by approx. 10%. |
 |
|
Full width filling Thanks to the Continuous Flow System roller spreading the forage over the whole rotor width, the material is loaded into the cargo space over its entire loading space. We measured 10% more weight per cubic meter. The Continuous Flow System gives more weight than the competitors at the same capacity, making the tonnage capacity more important than the cargo space volume. |
 |
|
High Performance A better filling spread also affects acreage performance. The areas to be harvested can be cleared quicker and the fodder is moved faster to the clamp. After all, time is money. |
 |
|
Optimum adaptation to ground contours Due to the design of the Continuous Flow System drum, the pick-up is at a very shallow angle, such that the pressure exerted on the feed rollers is very low, which enables the pick-up to better adapt to the contours of the ground. Furthermore, the green fodder is continuously and gently picked up due to the V-shaped helical arrangement of the pick-up tines. Tines are always picking up, but the V-shape means not all tines are touching the ground at the same time, preventing power peaks. |
 |
|
Preservation of drive line Due to the homogeneous and continuous flow of material, the Continuous Flow System conveying unit runs very smoothly and consistently, meaning there are hardly any peak loads. And if there are no peak loads, the complete drive unit will be free from excessive forces ensuring a long service life of the conveying unit and therefore of the entire forage wagon. The rotor is powered via an oil-bath gearbox to the rotor. The high (1000rpm) speed through the drive line is reduced to the rotor for both maximum torque and preservation of the drive line. |
 |
|
Longer service life of knives As the Continuous Flow System spreads the grass evenly across the chopping rotor there is an even load on each of the knives. This means that knives wear more consistently and the sharpening interval is extended. On machines without a Continuous Flow System system the central knives become blunt and reduce machine performance, this does not happen with a Strautmann Continuous Flow System pick-up. In addition, the knives are designed so that you are able to sharpen or replace only the blades that you need to, rather than all of the knives. |

Double-roller crop press The Innovative crop press roller has been designed to optimise forage flow into the Flex-Load pick-up. It is standard throughout the Magnon range. The larger diameter, double roller crop press with a slip-proof profile ensures optimal flow into the mechanically powered Flex-Load pick-up. In addition, a guide roller mounted behind the pick-up is available as an optional extra for optimum adaptation to the ground |
