7.6.1
Filling order
1. Fill highly structured fodder components (hay, straw etc.)
in with the mixing auger powered.
Have them possibly mixed for a short time before filling in
the next component. A longer mixing ensures better
chopping of the long stalks.
2. Pick up concentrated feed, grain feed etc.
3. Fill in mineral feed by means of the loading tool (shovel)
or via the feed funnel (optional extra).
4. Pick up grass silage.
5. Pick up maize silage, grain silage.
6. Pick up fodder components with a high proportion of
water, e.g. draff, potato pulp or beet chips.
–
Add water to the mixture as evenly as possible, in
order to minimise the mixing times.
7. Pick up liquid components, e.g. liquid yeast, molasses.
7.6.2
Pick up silage from the bunker silo
ATTENTION
Damage to the machine
Careless working or improper handling during the filling
procedure may cause damage to the machine.
•
Do not let the milling drum or the Fast-Cut cutting knives
come into contact with stationary elements such as e.g.
silo walls or the floor.
•
Ensure that no foreign objects such as e.g. stones lying
on the floor, metal objects or parts of the silo cover
(tyres) get into the milling drum or between the Fast-Cut
cutting knives.
•
Apply load to the milling drum or cutting unit as equally
as possible over the entire width.
•
Observe the maximum load of the machine and the filling
order of the individual fodder components to prevent an
overload from building up (e.g. at the counter-cutters).
