Do not load hay without
other dry commodities in the mixer first to act as a carrier or “lubricant”.
Do not overload hay content
, Sioux Automation Center Inc. recommends up to 15%-20% of hay by weight
in the load. Exceeding this percentage can decrease mixing performance or could potentially damage mixer and
cause premature wear on driveline components.

LImITATIONS
Do not use tough hay
(20%-60% moisture) Always used cured, dry hay. Wet hay, foreign objects or overload-
ing may cause binding and damage to the mixer.
keep in mind the overall size of the mixer
to allow clearance through doorways.

wARNINGS
The mixer can mix an average load in 3 to 5 minutes. Due to this short mixing time, there is normally no reason
to run the mixer during loading except to level the materials or to breakup hay.

mIxING TImE
When deciding when and how fast to operate the mixer, factors such as ingredients being used, the thorough-
ness of the mix, and the time available to mix must be considered. Normal mixing speed is 3/4 to full PTO
speed.
Do not exceed rated PTO speed. When the mixer is operated faster than rated PTO speed the strain on the drive
train and mixer is greatly increased.

mIxING SPEED
• The following feed materials require some preparation or processing to be mixed in the Maxi-Mixer.
• ALL LONG AND UNCURED GRASSES
• ROUND BALES, LARGE SQUARE BALES
• SMALL SQUARE BALES
mATERIALS REQUIRING PREPERATION
Always use cured dry hay.
Tough hay can cause wrapping, binding and damage to mixer and can adversely
effect the mixing performance. The following are some examples that contribute to tough hay conditions: High
moisture content, High grass content, High density bales, Outdoor storage, Use of hay preservatives, and Ex-
cessive stem length.

hAY QUALITY
Many different kinds of materials can be mixed with the Turbo-Max Mixer, but each type has its own unique char-
acteristics.
Do not exceed rated PTO speed. When the mixer is operated faster than rated PTO speed the strain on the drive
train and mixer is greatly increased.
FORAGES-
Chopped hay, corn silage, and finely chopped crop residue can be mixed in the mixer. Wet and
heavy forages added in large volumes may require more power to mix.
GRAINS-
Ground, rolled, flaked, and whole cereal grains, minerals, and concentrates, are all very easily mixed,
and can improve the mixing performance of the other materials.
LIQUIDS-
Supplements and liquid fat can be blended in the mixer. Some operators prefer adding liquids into
the empty mixer, and others add liquids on top of grains or roughage. Sticky liquids such as molasses tend to
increase the power requirements.
