8.2.4 Knives
Knives are designed and intended for processing and mixing rations that include long stem forages.
NOTE: Some rations may require adding or removing knives, or changing knife position to obtain the desired
result.
8.2.4.1 Knife Removal
Individual knives may be removed from the auger if the ration does not include hay or includes very small amounts of
small square bale hay or tub ground hay. Removing knives will decrease the aggressive cutting action on the stem length
of the ration and may also reduce horsepower requirements.
8.2.4.2 Adding Knives
If the hay in your ration is not being processed enough or fast enough extra knives may be ordered through your dealer.
Adding extra knives will help break down and process materials faster, but may increase the horsepower required to
process and mix.
8.2.4.3 Knife Placement
The placement of knives towards the bottom of the auger will process the forage faster and make the stem length shorter
but may require more horsepower. Placement of knives higher on the auger will assist in breaking up bales faster after
initial loading.
8.2.4.4 Knife Position
“Out” Position
When the knives are in the “out” position they tend to move the long stem hay and lighter bulky materials best in the early
stages of processing and mixing. This setting may result in feed spillage in certain materials. Knives placed in this setting
are very aggressive in processing feed and will also cause an increase in horsepower requirement.
“In” Position
When the knives are in the “in” position they will slow down the long stem hay and lighter bulky materials in the early
stages of processing and mixing. Less spillage will occur due to clearance between the knives. This setting is more
desirable for heavy rations with long run time and where over processing can occur. Knives placed in this position are
less aggressive in processing feed and will reduce the horsepower requirement.
8.2.4.5 Replacing Damaged or Worn Knives
When knives become worn and rounded on the leading edge their efficiency is greatly reduced. This results in longer
processing times and increased horsepower requirements. Refer to your parts manual and contact your Meyer MFG
dealer for replacement part ordering.
Shutoff and lockout power before performing machine service,
adjusting, maintaining, or clearing an obstruction from this machine.
Refer to section 5.3 SHUTOFF & LOCKOUT POWER.
If work must be done inside the mixer put a protective cover over the
auger knives to avoid injury. The hopper and flighting may be
slippery. Use caution when stepping on or standing inside the mixer.
