Restrictor Blades
The restrictor blades are located at the
front-left and rear-right corners of the
mixing chamber walls. Each restrictor
blade comes complete with an
adjustment pin that locks the blade into
position. When completely inserted, the
restrictor blades will slow a large bale or
mixed feed from moving around the
outside of the mixing chamber, thus
allowing the knives to perform aggressive
cutting. The restrictor blades may be
retracted to the out position to lessen the
cutting action. The best position of the
restrictor blade is based on user
preference.
Important: Position the Restrictor Blades in the ‘IN’ (retracted) position during
transportation of the machine to reduce overall width.
2-speed Transmission (If equipped)
Machines equipped with the 2-speed Transmission offer operation of the mixer in either
‘High’ Gear or ‘Low’ Gear. ‘High’ Gear is a direct ratio speed (1:1). 1000 RPM input speed
will result in 1000 RPM output speed on the transmission. ‘Low’ Gear is a reduced speed
(1.3:1). Operating in ‘Low’ Gear is beneficial when processing heavy loads or for reducing
startup power required under load. 1000 RPM input speed will result in 770 RPM output
speed on the transmission.
Selecting between ‘High’ Gear and ‘Low’ Gear is controlled by a shifter located on the right
side of the transmission. It is important that the transmission is operated properly. When the
shifter is placed fully forward, ‘High’ Gear is engaged. When the shifter is placed fully
rearward, ‘Low’ Gear is engaged.
Important: Make sure that the shifter is fully engaged for positive gear engagement.
Important: The transmission can only be shifted when the driveline of the tractor and the
mixer are completely stopped. Some tractors equipped with a hydraulic lock on
the PTO may be required to be completely shut down to relieve the pressure on
the driveline.
