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, which could damage your unit.
Maximum weight is 33,500 LB
for the 1355 HDS model and 33,500 LB for the 1505 HDS model.
C. Load hay first with machine running:
TRACTOR RUNNING AT 1000 RPM PTO SPEED.
Adjust restrictor plates (dogs) to fine tune length of cut. Always start with one dog,
preferably the rear, engaged one hole and increase until length
of cut is correct.
NOTE: engaging dogs and excessive amount
will cause mix quality to deteriorate.
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 at as high a RPM
as possible, and with the door as open as
possible.
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.
