Built right

Made to the highest standards.

This system was built without compromise. Stainless steel trays throughout for longevity and easy cleaning, a custom air-handling system for stable climate across the full grow cycle, and custom automation software that runs the daily production without constant operator input.

Everything you need to run it comes with the unit: a soaking trolley for grain preparation, a seeding tool, and a set of spare parts. Drop it in place, hook up power and water, and you're producing fresh fodder within the week.

Frequently asked

What serious buyers ask first.

Can I inspect the unit before buying?

Yes. Inspections are available by appointment at Pimpama, Queensland. We encourage serious buyers to visit in person or send a representative. A video walk-through is also available on request if travel isn't practical.

How is delivery handled?

Freight is arranged by the buyer at cost. I can introduce you to freight brokers experienced in transporting agricultural systems within Australia and internationally. Typical domestic freight within AU runs AUD 1,500–4,500 depending on destination.

What power and water does it need?

Standard 240 V single-phase power (solar-compatible), and a domestic-grade water connection. Exact kW draw and daily water usage figures are supplied on enquiry with the full spec sheet.

Can I finance this?

I don't finance directly, but equipment finance is straightforward for operators with an ABN and a year of trading history. I can introduce you to AU brokers who routinely fund ag equipment in this price range.

What warranty is offered?

The system is sold as-is, in good working order. Component-level warranties (where still active from the original manufacturer) transfer with the system. The 30 days of included consulting covers commissioning, operator training, and first-cycle troubleshooting.

Why are you selling?

This unit is now too small for our own production requirements. We've replaced it with a 2 tonne/day system at our EnviroGraze operation, so this 300 kg/day unit is available to a new owner who needs exactly this capacity.

Is this the right system for my operation?

That's exactly the question the 20-minute qualifier call answers. Before you commit $65k, I'll look at your livestock, feed economics, and site to confirm this unit is the right fit, and I'll tell you honestly if it isn't.

Can the unit be shipped internationally?

Yes. Container freight from Brisbane is straightforward. Plan for roughly 15–25% on top of the unit price depending on destination and current shipping rates. I can connect you with freight brokers who routinely move agricultural equipment internationally and help coordinate pickup, loading, and customs paperwork.
