Trailer mount: ensure that the two speed shifts from high to low and ensure you are in low
gear (slowest auger speed) to mix the ration (see section in this manual on two speed
shifting procedure)
•
WHEN MIXING WITH A TRAILER MOUNT MIXER ALWAYS MIX IN LOW SPEED
SETTING ON THE GEARBOX.
The average mixing cycle is from 3 to 5 minutes with normal rations for a thorough and accurate
mix. If possible, some mixing time can occur while traveling from the loading/mixing area to the
feeding area. The correct length of time for your application will be found by experimentation.
The length cut of the hay you put into the mixer will be determined primarily by the following:
•
Quality and type of hay
•
Hay stops in or out
•
How many and the sharpness of the cutting blades on your augers
•
The speed of the augers (direct relationship with Engine RPM )
•
Length of mixing time
Recommended RPM of mixer in a stationary position for mixing of ration (ensure all brakes are set
when loading mixer)
Truck mount: 1,500 to 1,800 RPM truck engine speed
Trailer mount: 1,600 to 1,800 RPM tractor engine speed
- PTO speed 900 RPM; for tractors with the larger
“1000 RPM PTOs”
- PTO speed 540 RPM; for tractors with the smaller
“540 RPM PTOs”
Load hay first with mixer running at recommended RPM. If after a load you have determined that
you hay needs to be cut shorter, you may want to check the hay stops and start with pushing in one
hay stop for a finer cut. If you are not satisfied with the cut length push in the second hay stop and
check the RPM of the power source.
Always remove all twine, wire or wrappings from the bales before loading into the mixer.
NEVER THROW HAY BY HAND FROM THE STACK OR A PLATFORM INTO THE
MIXER! The possibility of falling into the Mixer could result in serious injury or death.
Always use a loading device for all commodities loaded into the mixer.
You may continue to add the commodities with the recommendation of the following:
•
Balance of grains or commodities keeping fragile commodities towards the end of the mix
•
Concentrates or other dry ingredients of small quantity should be added to the middle of the
loading sequence
•
Silage, green chop, or other high moisture commodities
•
Add wet ingredients last (water, whey, animal fat, molasses, liquid supplements )
Inspection of the mix may be made on the platform or ladder of the mixer. Caution should be taken
that only one person at a time is viewing the load.
Only stand on mixer platform or ladder while
mixer is stationary, (Never climb higher than the platform or ladder allow). Never stand/ride
on the platform or ladder while mixer is being moved.
