PROBLEM:

 

 

POOR MIXING PERFORMANCE,

HAY IS WRAPPING ON AUGERS

 

 

CROSS PIPES ON THE REEL ASSEMBLY ARE BENT,

 

 

 

 

 

BELTS SLIPPING,

SHEARBOLT FAILS,

 

 

 

 

 

EXCESSIVE POWER REQUIREMENTS WHEN

RUNNING MIXER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAUSE

 

 

 

SOLUTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MIXER IS OVERLOADED

 

 

 

Reduce load size, feed must be able to tumble from the reel

 

 

 

 

 

 

cross pipes. If reel is over full, mixing action will be greatly

 

 

 

 

 

 

reduced. Feed must not pile up between the reel and the side

 

 

 

 

 

 

of the mixer. This causes a buildup of pressure, increases the

 

 

 

 

 

 

power requirements of the mixer, and can cause pipes to bend.

 

 

HAY IS LOADED ON THE REEL SIDE OF THE MIXER

Load hay on the auger side of the mixer. This keeps hay from

 

 

 

 

 

 

being caught between the reel pipes and side of mixer during

 

 

 

 

 

 

initial loading.

 

 

BIG CHUNKS OF HAY

 

 

 

Break up bales before loading.

 

 

CROSS PIPES SET IN THE OUTER POSITION

 

 

Move reel cross pipes to the inner setting by compressing the

 

 

 

 

 

 

springs and adding bolts and lock nuts in the reel arms. Do not

 

 

 

 

 

 

move wiper arms in. See Mixer Setup section.

 

 

HAY IS NOT FULLY CURED

 

 

 

Freshly baled hay tends to be green and does not tear apart

 

 

 

 

 

 

easily. Allow hay to dry or cure longer before using in the

 

 

 

 

 

 

mixer.

 

 

AUGER KNIVES ARE NOT SHARP

 

 

Sharpen or replace knives when they become dull.

 

 

HAY IS TOO LONG

 

 

 

Round baled and stacked hay cannot be used in the mixer

 

 

 

 

 

 

unless it has been processed first. Some grassy types of hay

 

 

 

 

 

 

must also be processed before it can be used. (See Mixer

 

 

 

 

 

 

Operation section for more information)

 

 

HAY PERCENTAGE IS TOO HIGH

 

 

Mix a lower percentage of hay or change loading sequence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

When mixing the hay, run the mixer at full rated PTO speed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

See Mixer Operation section.

 

 

FOREIGN OBJECT IN MIXER

 

 

 

Inspect mixer and remove object.

 

 

IMPROPERLOADINGSEQUENCE

 

 

See Mixer Operation for recommended loading sequence.

 

 

TOO MUCH FORAGE LOADED BEFORE MIXER IS STARTED

If forage is piled above reel, they may be wedged against the

 

 

 

 

 

 

side when started up.
