Proven to last the distance.

SAM feed wagons have been one of the Waikato’s best-kept secrets for many years. Many have 20 odd years on the clock and they are still cranking!

Popular for its extreme reliability, simplicity and mega-strong construction SAM machinery is known to be a no-brainer in terms of ticking boxes when it comes to build quality and value for money.

Each machine provides an even flow of feed with excellent throw. With the ability to handle a large range of feed types, including green feed, maize, grass silage and PK, SAM caters for centre-feed for paddock feeding and side-feed for paddocks, troughs, and feed pads.

Available throughout NZ. All wagons come standard with a robust full stainless conveyor that ensures decades of operation and rust protection in the areas that count. "We have learned over the years through servicing and R&D exactly what works and what doesn't, says Design Engineer Toby Stone".

Stainless sides and front eliminate worries about rusting. A superior paint finish is added to the chassis for corrosion resistance for the long term.

The tough Trans-tex deck flooring is a 21mm high-strength ply timber made from sustainably sourced European birch chosen for its high bending stiffness and high-impact resistance across the trucking industry. Remote greasing is standard on 12 and 15 cube models, offering access to all axle greasing points in an easy-to reach location.

The chassis has been designed with ample clearance from the ground, to save bellying out in varied terrain.

Individually welded teeth on the elevator are designed for optimal grab and lift. This is particularly great for grass silage, and although more labour-intensive to build, it means the machine is built to last longer for SAM customers.

Complexity is engineered out to ensure they are reliable and easy to use and maintain. SAM Business Manager Tim Ellingham grew up on a farm and knows the importance of bullet-proof gear that won’t let users down. “We build our SAM feed wagons tough for lasting performance year after year. They just go and go and go!

"We have been producing New Zealand-made agricultural machinery since 1946. That’s 77 years of testing and adapting for the New Zealand market."

The SAM feed wagon range spans across 10, 12, and 15 cube models, with the versatile 10 cube model being the most popular. Mudguards and ladder are included as standard.

Like all SAM gear, these feed wagons are backed by fast and professional spare parts and servicing. Ready to help out with quick spare parts when you need them. All have a 24 month warranty. “We prefer to put our automation and tech into our manufacturing – not our customer service,” says Tim.

Optional extras

Adding load cells can provide simple, accurate electronic weighing of feed quantities. Every SAM feed wagon is built load cell ready, so you can add this technology in at a later date if required. A simple Android app means you can keep an eye on the weight in the bin from your pocket.

Options for belt side-feed, hydraulic side shift, lights, brakes and centre-feed delivery round out the range.
