MIXER OPERATION

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

MATERIAL THAT CAN BE LOADED DIRECTLY INTO THE MIXER

Many different kinds of materials can be mixed with the Reel Auggie or Commercial Reel Mixer, but each type has its own unique characteristics.

FORAGES: Chopped hay, corn silage, and finely chopped crop residue can be mixed in the mixer. Wet and heavy forages added in large volumes may require more power to mix.

GRAINS: Ground, rolled, flaked, and whole cereal grains, minerals, and concentrates, are all very easily mixed, and can improve the mixing performance of the other materials.

LIQUIDS: Supplements and liquid fat can be blended in the mixer. Some operators prefer adding liquids into the empty mixer, and others add liquids on top of grains or roughage. Sticky liquids such as molasses tend to increase the power requirements.

MATERIALS REQUIRING PREPARATION

The following feed materials require some preparation or processing to be mixed in the Reel Auggie or Commercial Reel Mixer:

-SMALL SQUARE BALES

-LARGE SQUARE BALES

-ROUND BALES

-ALL LONG AND UNCURED GRASSES

-STACKED FEEDS

The mixer can be used to mix rations with up to 15% to 20% dry alfalfa by using the Hay Maxx System. For rations with a higher percentage of hay, mixing may be improved by pulling the non-wiper cross tubes to the inner setting (see MIXER SETUP, REEL CROSS TUBES). This will allow the reel to more aggressively charge the lower auger with hay.

Preparing Small Square Bales: Remove twine or wires while on the ground. Put bales into loader bucket lengthwise so that they will fall onto the Hay Maxx System or, if the hay is dry cured alfalfa, load directly into mixer equipped with Roughage Maxx option.

Preparing Large Square Bales (3’ x 3’ x 8’), (3’ x 4’ x 8’), (4’ x 4’ x 8’): Remove twine while on the ground. Put slabs of the bale into the loader bucket (10” to 12” total thickness suggested maximum size). The hay should lay flat against the Hay Maxx System pan to properly feed into the Hay Maxx System.

Preparing Round Bales: Remove the twine and break apart with loader, round bale slicer, round bale unroller or other round bale processing equipment and load separated portions of hay into the Hay Maxx System.

Processing Long and Uncured Grasses: Pre-process in a tub grinder or a vertical mixer. Processing Stacked Feeds: Break material apart with the loader or pre-process in a tub grinder.

HAY QUALITY

Always use cured, dry hay. Tough hay can cause wrapping or binding and may damage the mixer or adversely affect the mixing performance. Some factors that contribute to tough hay are high moisture content, high grass content, high density bales, outdoor storage, use of hay preservatives and excessive stem length.
