A device for removing silage from a silage supply comprises a support frame with a plurality of sides, wherein each side is provided with a pair of downwardly directed cutter plates that are positioned close to one another, provided with rows of cutting teeth (151), co-acting and movable reciprocally relative to one another. According to the invention one cutter plate of each pair of cutter plates is fixed in position on the support frame and the other is movable, wherein at least the teeth of one of the cutter plates, preferably the teeth of said fixed cutter plate, have sharp points with an apex angle of no more than 120°, for instance in the order of 90° or less.
