The "Neutral" Position
on the hay stops (Figure 15.2) allows the feed to travel
more freely end to end, and reduces the amount of stem length reduction
while mixing. If your ration does not include significant amounts of long stem
hay, or if you experience significant hay "boiling" and spillage, then the hay
stops can be set in a "neutral" position.
The "Low" Position
on the hay stops (Figure 15.1) will give a more aggressive
cutting action later in the load sequence. Because the "low" position hay stops
are located closer to the bottom knives and auger flighting, they interact more
aggressively with feed that moves through the lower half of the auger. These
positions are more desirable if heavier rations are mixed, or if fine, short stem
lengths are required. These "low" position could also be used in breaking up
frozen chunks of feed, getting a fine cut on hay already torn apart when
loaded, or to aid breakup of feed by-products.
Note: The "low" position generally increase the horsepower requirements,
and should be used with care for most high forage/hay rations that use dry
bulky forages, or that need to maintain a longer stem length.
