The Vertical mixer-feeder is equipped with two adjustable "Hay
Stops", one located at the right front and the other at the left rear of the mixer.
The purpose of the "Hay Stops" is to provide better control of the processing
and mixing of long stem forages into the ration.
There are a total of 3 positions for hay stops, and by doing some
experimentting with the settings, you will be able to determine the proper
settings for your ration.
The most common setting for normal forage rations that include some alfaalfa
hay is the (3) "High" position. (Figure 15)
Figure 15 – The positions on the Hay Stop
The "High" Position
on the hay stops (Figure 15.3) will tend to slow the
movement of the long stem hay and lighter, bulkier metarials early in the
processing and mixing sequence. This allows the auger/knives to "cut" the hay
more aggressively. The feed flow will be slowed down, when the "high"
position setting is used, and may result in more feed "boiling" inside the mixer,
and may increase feed spillage in certain materials. When using very light,
bulky materials like dry grasses, the "high" position setting is recommended.
When processing and mixing most alfaalfa bales and other forages, also the
"high" position setting is recommended. If the ration forage length becomes
too short, then move one or both hay stops to the
"neutral" position.
