Always refer to Operating Safety Precautions and Safety Decal sections of this manual before operating this mixer.

Step #4 - Other Mixing Recommendations

Run tractor at 3/4 of rated tractor RPM (no more) while processing to help reduce HP and/or spillage of hay. Set hay stops to #4 or #5 low positions (see Hay Stop Adjustment). This will reduce spillage due to hay “piling” up near the hay stops.

A)If HP required to process and mix high percent amounts of balage/grassy hay is too high, the following can be done:

1). The remaining knives can be “laid-back” to a less aggressive “in” position. (see Knife Adjustment section below)

2). Remove the optional extra knives.

3). Add optional short knives if available in lieu of the long knives to help reduce HP

B)If spillage in balage or grassy material is excessive:

1). Move Hay Stops to the “neutral” positions.

2). Lower PTO RPM while processing.

3). Move knives into the “laid-back” or “in” positions.

4). Remove optional extra knives from augers If HP requirement is still high. Starting from the top of auger, leave knife at very top of auger and remove knives below it.

5). Add optional side extensions.

C)Small knives can be removed if final cut-length of material is too short and fine, but long knives may need to be left intact for initial processing of materials.

Knife Adjustment - Large Knives

The Verti-Maxx Mixer is designed and intended for processing and mixing rations that include long stem forages. In most cases, the knives that come standard on the mixer are placed to work well in most rations. However, some rations may require adding or removing knives to obtain the desired result.

Removing Knives

Individual knives may be removed from the auger if the ration does not include hay, or includes very small

amounts of small square bale hay or tub ground hay. Removing knives will decrease the aggressive cutting action on the stem length of the ration and may also reduce horse power requirements.

Adding Knives

If the hay in your ration is not being processed enough or fast enough, extra knives and backers may be ordered through your dealer. Adding extra knives will help break down and process materials faster, but may increase the horsepower required to process and mix.

The placement of knives towards the bottom of the auger will process the forage faster and shorter, but may require more horsepower. Placement of knives higher on the auger will assist in breaking up bales faster after initial loading.
