A silage collector has a boom (11) mounted to a silage carrier (3). A silage collecting head (12) is mounted to the free end of the boom. A conveyor (113) extends from the free end to the proximal end of the boom for conveying silage from the silage collecting head towards a receptacle (3). The boom is pivotable about a horizontal axis (14) transverse to the boom at or near the proximal end of the boom. The proximal end of the boom is positioned for depositing supplied silage into the receptacle. The silage collector is arranged for displacing the pivoting axis (14) during collecting between a first position and a second position. The proximal end of the boom is positioned for depositing supplied silage into the receptacle (3) in both the first position and the second position. A method for collecting silage and a silage collecting head are also described.
