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

Step #2 - Mixing

Materials

The Verti-Maxx is designed to mix a wide variety of feedstuffs efficiently and quickly. After the long stem forages are coarsely cut in the processing step, other materials such as silage, grains, haylage, and commodities can be added and mixed.

Loading Sequence

With mixer running at approximately 3/4 of rated PTO RPM, and the long stem material processed to a desirable length, the loading of remaining ingredients can begin. The sequence of loading materials will depend on the loading methods and their location relative to the mixer, but a typical loading sequence would be;

1.Load haylage and corn silage

2.Load minerals, proteins, and other small quantity ingredients.

(Note- in some cases it may be preferable to load these between the silage’s if possible)

3.Load grains, wet and dry commodities, etc.

4.Load all liquid fats, water, and other liquids. Always load liquids at the center of the mixing chamber. Note: Never load long stem bales last. They will not be processed or mixed into the ration,

and may cause unloading or spillage difficulties. Processing of long stem forages will continue as other materials are added and mixed. Be careful not to over process these materials before adding other ingredients.

Load all ingredients as quickly as possible, and allow a final mix time of 3 to 7 minutes, or whenever the load looks consistently mixed.

Adjustments

A few loads will need to be tried to establish the best loading sequence, PTO RPM, mix time, and hay stop position for your particular situation. Adjustments may need to be made if you see the following;

1.Spillage - refer to the adjustments listed in the processing steps.

2.High horsepower

a.Reduce load size

b.Be sure mixer sides and augers are “polished” to insure correct feed movement inside mixer.

c.Back off “Hay Stops” to a less aggressive or neutral position see Hay Stop Adjustment section

d.Modify the knife setting quantity or placement, see Inspection and Adjustment section

e.Add optional short knives if available

3.Forage is cut too short

a.Reduce the initial processing time

b.Reduce the aggressiveness of the hay stops, see Hay Stop Adjustment section

c.Reduce the total loading time

d.Reduce the mixer RPM to limit aggressiveness in processing

e.Modify the knife quantity or placement, see Knife Adjustment section

Step #3 - Unloading

Try to unload the mixed ration within a short time after mixing. A fully loaded mixer which is bounced over rough terrain or allowed to settle will require more horsepower during start-up.

1.Position the mixer in a straight line with the tractor, to reduce the stress on the PTO shaft.

2.Lower slide tray or lower and start the discharge chute.

3.Start the mixer and partially open the door.

4.Adjust the door height for the desired flow of feed, while moving forward along the discharge path.

5.After load begins to discharge, increase tractor RPM to full PTO to insure fast and thorough cleanout.
