8.Normal mixing time is form 1 to 2 minutes after the last ingredient has been added. It is necessary to run the MaxiMixer at 1600 ENGINE RPM during mixing of ingredients such as long stem hay or ensilage. It is not necessary to run the machine while loading. Strive for the shortest mixing time possible, as
9.Proper mixing patterns are achieved when two cavities are visible in the mixer, one in the front and one in the rear. Feed must be able to tumble from the top to the bottom of the mixer to obtain maximum mixing potential. A mixer that is struck level full will not mix properly and will put undue stress on moving parts.
10.Do not leave partially mixed loads in the machine for long periods of time such as during the day or overnight. Acids from the feed will react with the steel and will cause premature deterioration of the machine. It is better to mix two small loads, than one large load.
