Alongside its latest lineup of front loaders, MX presented a mix of attachments, including the new GDT silage feeding bucket. Designed to load, transport and discharge pit silage, it is available in three sizes: 2,000l (2.3m), 2,300l (2.5m) and 2,500l (2.7m). It can be specified with either a simple tine grab or hydraulic milling rotor for a cleaner pit face.

A chain and slat floor feeds material towards the horizontal discharge rotor and discharge door which can be positioned on either or both sides, depending on preference.

One double-acting third service connection with a solenoid diverter works the grab or milling rotor, before switching to begin the unload sequence. The unloading sequence lowers the discharge tray, engages the hydraulic discharge rotor and floor chains.
