LOADING INSTRUCTIONS & PRECAUTIONS
A. Visually inspect mixer before each load.
B. Do not overload the mixer. Mixer capacity is determined by weight. An overloaded mixer
will not mix correctly, and will pull harder.
C. Load hay first with machine running.
1. Low speed, 10 RPM is preferable if you are using very tender, very fine stemmed
hay that breaks apart very easily. A slower speed allows maximum staple length.
2. Increase the speed to 17 RPM if you are using fine stemmed hay. Staple length
when using this speed will be longer than 10 RPM, but shorter than 26 RPM.
3. Increase to 26 RPM if you are using normal good quality hay. This
is the most common loading speed, for most conditions.
4. Full 36 RPM is used with very rough, course hay that needs to be
cut shorter to increase palatability.
Adjust restrictor plates (dogs) to fine tune length of cut. Always
start with one dog, preferably the one furthest away from the
discharge door, engage one hole and increase until length of cut is
correct.
NOTE:
engaging dogs and excessive amount will cause
mix quality to deteriorate and consume more power.
D. Add balance of grain and/or commodities, keeping more fragile ingredients toward the
end of the loading sequence as possible. For best results, add concentrates or other dry
ingredients of small quantity as close to the middle of the loading sequence as possible.
E. Load silage, green chop and/or other high moisture products.
F. Load molasses, animal fat, and/or other liquid supplements last.
G. Allow mixer three to four minutes to complete mixing after last ingredient is added.
(
NOTE:
this time will vary, and could be longer under certain conditions.)
H. View mixing operation only from observation platform of mixer. Never allow more than
two people on platform at one time.
I. For best results, off load mixed feed with the door as open as possible to ensure even
feed flow and clean out.
HAY PREPARATION:
SMALL BALES (60 to 150 lbs., 2 or 3 wire), LARGE SQUARE BALES (3’ x 4’ x 8’ or 4’ x 4’
x 8’) and ROUND BALES. Remove all twine, wire and/or wrapping and load bale in mixer.
