MIXER OPERATION

Always refer to OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS and SAFETY DECALS in SAFETY section of this manual before operating this mixer.

LOADING AND MIXING

Prior to loading, check mixer for foreign objects and be sure door is fully closed.

1) LOAD COMMODITIES

Adding ingredients like corn, soybean meal, cottonseed, etc. will act as a carrier or “lubricant” if hay is included in the ration.

If there are few commodities in the ration, substituting corn silage or haylage is preferred.

Fill mixer between 1/3 to 1/2 full by volume in commodities and forage before adding the hay to the ration. This will allow enough room for hay to expand and bring feed level up so the top auger can assist in processing.

2) LOAD HAY

A) LOAD PROCESSED HAY

With the mixer running, proceed loading the small square bale pieces or tub-ground hay into the mixer. Do not exceed 15% to 20% of hay by weight.

The hay can be loaded after the previously added grains. Grains help to move the hay into the augers. It often helps to have the mixer running while adding the hay and to load the hay on the auger side.

B) LOAD UNPROCESSED HAY

With the mixer running and the Hay Maxx System pan bolted in the “up” position, proceed using the loader to begin placing the hay on the Hay Maxx System pan. Load the slabs toward the front end of the Hay Maxx System pan, so the hay is not resting against the rear backstop.

For best results, do not overload the Hay Maxx System pan and allow time to process the hay in the Hay Maxx System before adding more. Repeat until proper percentage of hay for ration is met.

(not to exceed 15% to 20% hay by weight)

Note: Hay processing time with the Roughage Maxx option may be reduced due to the aggressive knives. Hay particle length may be reduced much faster when using the Roughage Maxx option, processing time should be adjusted accordingly to avoid over processing.

3)Finish Loading Commodities

Finish loading any other ingredients to complete the ration in order of least binding ingredient to most binding. Example: dry commodities first, corn silage second, haylage last.

4)Finish Loading Wet Commodities

Any other wet feeds may be added at this time.

5)Add Water

If ration includes water, add it last. Adding water at the beginning will cause the hay to bind.

NOTE: Do not overload mixer! Overloading causes excessive horsepower requirements, increased strain on driveline and poor mixer performance.
