Review Rear steering makes for a highly manoeuvrable machine Pluses The rear pusher is a game changer for root crops such as fodder beet. The soil and stones simply get pushed, so no more chains and sprockets getting a hiding Rear steering makes it very manoeuvrable for a large machine Spung axles mean it follows contours and travels well on the road Large load capacity Smart looking, well-built machine Feedlink is practical but also gives great flexibility Two-mode joystick with a pause button is awesome Front mesh and low loading height allow from the tractor cab excellent visibility of exactly what’s going on inside the wagon Level floor means feed transitions onto the cross floor well Puck board floor is durable and easy to replace if need be Minuses I’m impatient and I think the rear pusher should move faster. Having said that because you can move the pusher back (but can’t take the feed with it), you don’t want to get too greedy In certain situations on feedpads where the elevator can’t be tilted right down, a little bit of feed dropped off the elevator bars. On other pads, it performed flawlessly Hustler Combi RX218 Round bales 10 per layer Medium square bales 10–14 Large square bales (8ft long) 10–14 Loose silage (load level) 21.4 cubic metres Loose silage (heaped load) 26 cubic metres Maximum load 17,000kg Overall width 3,035mm Overall length 9,180mm Overall height 2,650mm Standard tyres 500/45R22.5 flotation grip tread Axle Tridem steering suspension axle Brakes Six-wheel braking Weigh scales Feedlink weighing and feed management system Floors (bed floor/cross floor) 15mm HD Puck board/12mm HD Puck board Chains (bed/cross floor/ Twin 12,000lb roller chains elevator) Feed bars (bed/ cross floor/ elevator) 62 Farms & Farm Machinery Twin hydraulic rams/ 65 x 35 RHS/40 x 40 RHS Joystick In-cab electric control w/ Bale and Silage modes Hydraulics required Three pair double-acting plus brake coupling Elevator 1,645mm-wide chain/slat Jack 80mm two-speed screw, with quick adjustment, designed to be used as quick hitch stand Neatly stowed above the drawbar is the ‘brains of the operation’ – connecting to the tech-savvy Feedlink. This app-based system is compatible with Apple iPhones and iPads. Feedlink gives a live reading of how much is in the wagon, and it also allows for herd feed management. As an example: say you had 10 tonnes in the wagon, and you want to feed this out to three different mobs. Mob one in paddock 6 gets four tonnes. Mob two in paddock 17 gets 3.5 tonnes, and Mob three gets 2.5 tonnes in paddock 54. This system is great, as it allows the driver to know exactly what to feed. An audible alarm will sound and the weight flashes red once the target is hit. Once in Wi-Fi or hotspot range, this can be sent for traceability back to management. It also runs a cumulative total, which allows you to see how much forage has been to each mob over a period (a month, or a season, etc). IN-CAB OPERATION The feed controller (separate from Feedlink) has also been upgraded with a new in-cab monitor. This has a switch at the bottom for either Bale mode or Silage mode. Bale mode allows you to control everything independently. The elevator needs to be engaged through one of the spools on the tractor, and this needs to be constantly pumping. You can then move the rear pusher door backwards or forward, and move the cross floor left or ight. My favourite feature of the whole wagon is a button on the end of the joystick, which pauses everything. This is outstanding for feeding bales. 10 silage bales are a doddle. 15 per load is easily achievable As bales tend to behave badly when being fed out (on any machine), the ability to let the core roll back into the wagon is epic. Alternatively, if you can see a large lump going over the elevator, you can pause it, let some drop; then let the pause button out for a second so a little bit more drops and so on. This is also handy when feeding on a feed pad for the same reason. Silage mode is more automated. The rear pusher is still operated manually (and the pause button can still be used), but the cross feed and the elevator work in unison based on clever load sensing valves. SUMMARY In general, I think the majority of people were staggered when Hustler announced that it was going to drive a Valtra T174 and theRX218 wagon all the way from Invercargill to Whangarei. To put it bluntly, they thought we were crazy. As the man behind the wheel, the driving wasn’t that bad; the stops meant you saw a different part of the country every day. The scenery was amazing, thanks to sitting higher and going slower than a car, and it allowed plenty of opportunities to take in the views. The people we met along the way were topnotch Kiwis, and overall, the farmers were impressed. The RX performed flawlessly and so I guess that deems the whole venture a success. I was certainly impressed at the variety of feed we used and how well the machine handled it. It truly is the ultimate all-rounder.
