Another haylage baler being put through its paces before leaving!

We're carrying out final testing on this system before it heads off to its customer shortly.

It's always important to make sure everything is working as it should before a machine leaves the workshop, ready for its next chapter on site.

One more agricultural system getting ready to go!

A KME Trojan Baler system was loaded and on its way to the customer yesterday with installation now underway!

Designed to handle hay, haylage or straw this particular system was built to the customer’s requirements having bespoke modifications to suit their needs.

That’s where our in-house design team comes into their own. They’re brilliant at finding solutions, working through challenges and adapting our machinery to meet individual customer requirements.

We’re looking forward to seeing the finished installation and sharing photos and videos of the system in action!

Another Trojan Haylage Baling System has been put through its paces, with bales running through the system and being bagged as we carry out our final checks before dispatch.

And this isn't just another standard build…

Every machine has its own story and this one features some clever engineering and a few carefully considered differences that make it a particularly interesting addition to the Trojan line-up. We won't give all the secrets away, but it's another great example of how we're continually developing and refining our systems to meet the demands of modern farming.

The trials have gone exceptionally well, everything is running smoothly and we're delighted with the results.

Now through its final testing and ready to head off to its new home!

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE OPPORTUNITY OF BAGGED FORAGE?

Unpredictable weather? Looking for new markets for your hay, haylage or straw?

We're a UK manufacturer of specialist machinery that takes large bales of haylage, hay or straw, breaks down the material, weighs it and repackages it into sealed 20 kg bags, ready for sale.

So, why could this be interesting for farmers and forage producers?

1. A HUGE POTENTIAL MARKET IN THE EQUINE WORLD

Not every horse owner has the space, equipment or need for large bales. Private horse owners, small yards and equestrian businesses often need forage in smaller, convenient quantities.

2. TURN LARGE BALES INTO A MARKETABLE PRODUCT

Already producing or buying hay, haylage or straw in large bales? Our systems allow you to process the material and package it into sealed 20 kg bags, opening up opportunities to supply customers who prefer smaller quantities.

3. AN ALTERNATIVE WHEN THE WEATHER WON'T COOPERATE

Here in the UK, our wet and unpredictable climate makes producing good-quality dry hay challenging. Haylage is an established alternative and bagging systems offer a way to supply it to customers in a convenient format.

4. PERFECTLY SIZED FOR THE EQUESTRIAN MARKET

Think private horse owners, small livery yards, riding schools and equestrian businesses. Smaller bags can also be convenient for horse owners travelling to shows, rodeos, competitions and weekend events who want to take their own forage with them.

5. AN OPPORTUNITY TO DIVERSIFY YOUR BUSINESS

Rather than selling only large bales, why not explore the potential of producing a bagged forage range? Hay, haylage and straw all offer possibilities, depending on your local market and customer demand.

6. PRACTICAL PROCESSING

Our machinery breaks down large bales, weighs the material and fills sealed bags at 20 kg per pack, helping producers prepare a consistent product for sale.

PROVEN EXPERIENCE FROM THE UK

We're based in the UK, where wet weather and a strong equestrian market have helped create demand for convenient bagged forage products.

We'd love to connect with farmers, hay producers and agricultural businesses interested in exploring this opportunity.

👇 A QUESTION FOR THE GROUP!

Do you currently sell bagged hay, haylage or straw in your area?

Or do most horse owners still buy conventional bales?

We'd love to hear how things work in different parts of the world!

WHO’S GOING TO FILL THIS SPACE?

One machine is getting ready to leave us, heading off to France which means we’ve got a space to fill on the shop floor!

Have you got large bales of hay, haylage or straw, but customers asking for smaller bales?

KME's agricultural bale breaker can break down large bales and feed the material into a conventional baler, helping you produce smaller bales to suit your market.

A practical way to make your existing baler work for a different customer demand.

Another KME machine getting put through its paces

Our haylage form-fill-and-seal machine is currently being tested and fine-tuned, with seal and weight checks already achieving 100% accuracy.

This is a customer we've supplied several machines to over the years, so it's great to see another KME machine joining their operation.

We're looking forward to seeing this one running at full production. They're one of the largest and loudest small bale haylage producers in the UK so we know it's going to be busy!

Three generations, two KME machines and over 13 years of working together.

It’s great to see our German customer returning to KME for their next machine after the previous one served them reliably for 13 years.

From the first machine in 2013 to the next generation of equipment, it’s been a pleasure to support the family and see how their operation has developed.

Thanks for making the trip over to see us in England and for putting your trust in KME once again.

We’re looking forward to seeing the new machine in action later this year!

Ralph’s on the phone.

Not sure who he’s calling, but judging by the look on his face, it’s probably about an important business matter.

Could be chasing a quote.
Could be discussing a new project.
Could just be ordering lunch. 🐾

Either way, he’s been promoted to Head of Communications for the afternoon.
