Mixer Wagon Capacity
Due to the diversity of the materials available for feeding and the KEENAN
MechFiber’s ability to incorporate a wide range of feed types into the ration the
capacity of the machine will vary. Ensure that overloading is avoided at all times
as mix quality will be seriously affected and potential machine damage may
result.
Overloading must be avoided because:
• The mix will not be homogenous (evenly mixed), preventing the maximum
benefit being gained from the machine.
• Mechanical failure will result. Due to the nature of the loading this may occur
at load levels below that necessary to break the shear bolt.
CAUTION:
The machine can be overloaded, before the shear bolt
breaks. Therefore not breaking a shear bolt is not an
indication that the machine is not being overloaded.
The overall amount of material that can be chopped/mixed in one load depends
on the following:
• Machine size.
• Overall dry matter of the TMR.
• The chop length and quality of the material added.
• The loading procedure and loading order of the materials used (this has a
major effect on machine capacity, e.g. the addition of straw first or last).
• Tractor H.P. rating.
