CTF farming (Controlled Traffic Farming) is mainly practised for cereal growing around the globe. It means that all field work is carried out via one set of tracks. For grass this system also has advantages and it is mainly used in Denmark. Dutch contractor De Schalm is a fan of the system and it developed its own 9m system. This is used for grass growing but also when harvesting maize.
Central in the system is the Siwi quick-hitch coupling system. Both the John Deere 8600i forage harvester and the Claas Axion 840 and Fendt Favorit 916 Vario are using it. The company uses one Kröger Agroliner push-off silage trailer with 2 steering axles that exactly follows the forage harvester. In maize it is difficult to use the system properly as the trailers cannot be filled 100% and the crop yield is much greater than in grass.
