Any idea what model this machine is? Does Deere make it or is it something custom?

There you go. Could be it.

Looks like a forage wagon mounted to a custom chassis to me.
I would guess that its a Badger forage box (like these: Forage Boxes - Picture and Information | Art's Way Manufacturing Co., Inc. )
Brochure page showing the truck mount model:

Edit, found the picture I was thinking of:
If the OP was closer to Gettysburg, I would guess that it was a Mason Dixon Farms contraption, but I don't think they range that far and their version is a little bit bigger:

They also use the same trailer base to haul manure slurry tanks:

Who would have made a chassis like that though if not Deere? It seems like a lot of trouble to custom fabricate a Deere lookalike chassis.

was it on the MD\PA line? it so, I know who it is. They have a few pieces from us and often highly customize their equipment.

The OP is near Philly. Is the place you are thinking of near Gettysburg?

Could just be a Deere cab/hood on a 5 ton army truck frame.

Yea. It looks like Mason-Dixon to me. They do a lot of highly customized equipment. Odds are that things follows our 1100 HP Krone Big-X forage harvester. :thumbsup: We did not have any hand in the creation of that one, but based on what I know of them, it fits.

its not unusual for guys to run custom boxes like that for forage work, but normally its done on a truck chassis.

Seems small to me for them unless they changed how they do forage. When we went down there a few years back they had a bunch of semitruck boxes that mounted on tracks when following the chopper or wheels going down the road (as seen in one of my previous posts).

I wonder if that is a truck chassis with a Deer cab/hood for better visibility.
Is there a tractor platform that can be setup with dual rear axles?
