Insgesamt 114 Messer entnehmen das Futter aus dem Silostock. Diese sind z.T gerade und z.T. gekröpft, was sich in einer hervorragenden Entnahmequalität auszeichnet. Ihre spiralische Anordnung garantiert höchste Entnahmeleistungen bei maximaler Strukturschonung.

Silo
Explanation:
Just a bit of extra info. I saw on the web "silo stock" in English - so I don't want to contradict Edith. However, in my mid-western USA youth, they were called 1. silos 2. grain silos 3. grain elevators- meaning those tall round edifices that were the highest thing on the horizon. I cannot remember ever hearing the words "silo stock", however perhaps that is the technical term or I may just not be up-to-date on my farm terminology.

I'm delivering now and have come to the conclusion that, fom a logical point of view, it must just mean "silo". Thanks for your confirmation!

Explanation:
Hi Robin! Have a look at the link provided. It's a very detailed site about a fodder mixing wagon. One section reads:

"Operation. The whole machine is controlled via 2 joysticks. The rear joystick controls all unloading and discharging functions inside the ***barn***, whereas the front joystick is used for all loading functions (elevator belt, chopping-unit, chopping-unit arm etc.)"

Is this it?
Good luck :)
