SelfLine 4.0 Compact
Bale Chopper | Mixer / feeder
Maximum performance in low buildings – compact, powerful, precise
The Kverneland SILOKING SelfLine 4.0 Compact is a low-height self-propelled feed mixer for narrow or low shed entrances. With 13 m³ and 16 m³ mixing volumes, a manoeuvrable 3-point chassis and powerful Volvo turbo engines, it delivers precise feeding in confined spaces.
Description
The Kverneland SILOKING SelfLine 4.0 Compact is designed for family farms through to large operations that require a low overall height and maximum manoeuvrability. With mixing volumes of 13 m³ and 16 m³, it is ideally suited to narrow or particularly low shed entrances.
Its compact design and agile 3-point chassis enable two-sided feed discharge without driving over the feed, even in confined conditions. The Compact 1612-13 and 1612-16 models pass easily through low buildings without compromising mixing performance.
Power is provided by economical Volvo 4-cylinder turbo diesel engines rated at 105 kW (143 hp), with optional upgrades to 129 kW (175 hp) or 160 kW (218 hp) via the Power Pack.

Refuel with HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil)!
All Kverneland SILOKING SelfLine Diet Feeders, manufactured from 01.01.24 onwards, are approved for use with 100% renewable diesel: HVO. The use of HVO diesel helps reduce emissions in dairy farming.
HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) is a renewable diesel alternative produced from waste-based raw materials and has been proven to reduce CO2 emissions by 90%, compared to conventional diesel.
One of the major advantages of HVO is its close similarity to conventional diesel fuel, allowing it to be used directly in any mixing ratio without modifications to the machine.
Working closely with engine suppliers, HVO has been thoroughly tested and approved; as a result, all Kverneland SILOKING self-propelled diet feeders, manufactured from 01.01.24 onward, are fully approved for HVO use.
NIR - Near InfraRed Spectroscopy
Feeding based on reliable data
Precise control of the feed ration supports herd health, feed efficiency and consistent milk production.
Visual assessment cannot consistently guarantee maximum milk yield from every kilogram of dry matter.
With Kverneland SILOKING's NIR System mounted at the front of the self-propelled milling head, you can monitor feed composition, rather than relying on estimation.
It pays to take a close look at the quality of the basic forage, ideally at the time of silage removal. Kverneland SILOKING's solution to this task is Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS).
This technology, which is available as an option on all Kverneland SILOKING self-propelled machines, makes use of near-infrared light to analyse the dry matter of the forage components. It enables continuous, non-contact and non-destructive real-time analysis. (This equipment can also be retrofitted.)
As dry matter content can vary significantly within the silo, accurately calculated feed rations are essential.
An incorrectly calculated feed ration brings four major disadvantages:
- Lower feed efficiency
- Metabolic issues for the cow
- Varying milk yields
- Higher amount of feed residue
With Kverneland SILOKING SelfLine, you can avoid this expense, and have a great impact on your profitability.
The Kverneland SILOKING NIR System delivers reliable data for more accurate rations, greater control of herd health and consistent milk production. The NIR System offers particular advantages for silos with layers of feed of different origins and specific weights. As opposed to random dry matter measurement, the system can accurately adjust during feed removal based on the values measured in real time. It knows the dry matter content of the basic feed fed in and can adapt the planned target component.
Kverneland SILOKING DryScan®
Real-time dry matter measurement for self-propelled feed mixers.
Consistent feeding starts with a consistent ration. However, fluctuating dry matter levels in forage can make this difficult to achieve.
Kverneland SILOKING DryScan® provides an intelligent solution to this challenge. The system determines the dry matter content of the feed, in real time, during loading.
As a result, the fresh matter is automatically adjusted so that the ration is consistent every day, supporting stable rumen health, reducing feed waste and avoiding empty feed tables.
When combined with Kverneland SILOKING Feeding Management, feeding can be digitally planned, documented, monitored and optimised, delivering greater accuracy and reliability for modern dairy and livestock operations.
The removable heavy-duty magnet helps protect animals and machinery by capturing metallic foreign objects in the feed. Unlike conventional systems, the magnet housing can be removed from outside the feed mixer, allowing captured metal particles to be removed safely without reaching into the mixing hopper. Removing the housing also releases the magnet’s holding force, making cleaning quick and straightforward.
For cleaning, the permanent magnet is positioned close to the discharge door. Once opened, the outer housing can be unlocked using the supplied tool and pulled outwards. Removing the housing from the mixer takes the magnet out of the feed flow and releases its holding force, allowing captured metal particles to be removed and disposed of safely and easily.
