JAY•LOROperator’s Manual - 18 - Trailer Units - Model 2425
OPERATION
The JAY•LORCutter-Mixer-Feeder is specifically designed to cut and mix feed ingredients
into a total mixed ration (TMR). Many of the features incorporated into this machine are the
result of suggestions made by customers like you. Located at the back of this manual is a
suggestion/comments sheet that can be faxed or mailed to JAY•LOR.
Read this manual carefully to learn how to operate the machine safely and how to adjust it to
provide maximum efficiency. Following the operating instructions with a proper maintenance
program will extend the life of your machinery.
MACHINE COMPONENTS
The machine is designed with a PTO powered vertical auger. The vertical auger cuts and
mixes a variety of feed ration ingredients into an even, uniform mixture. Knives located on
the periphery of the auger flights cut material as the auger rotates in a clockwise rotation.
Restrictor blades located at the front left and rear right corners of the mixing chamber are
adjustable to regulate cutting action of feed rations. A planetary gearbox located under the
auger center post provides rotation to the auger.
The planetary gearbox is equipped with a remote oil reservoir to display oil level and
condition.
The input driveline is equipped with a shear bolt to protect the drivetrain against shock loads.
Some models may be equipped with a 2-speed transmission option which offer a selection
between High Gear and Low Gear.
On all models, a hydraulically powered unloading door is opened to allow the mixed feed
ration out of the mixing chamber. Discharge options include front door, left-center side door,
and right-center side door and rear door.
On front door discharge models, the feed ration is distributed onto a hydraulically powered
chain slat conveyor option. There are various conveyor options that are explained in the
sections that follow.
On left and right center side door discharge models, the feed ration is distributed onto a
chute and then onto the ground immediately below.
On rear door discharge models, the feed ration is distributed onto the ground immediately
below. This option is useful for customers desiring premixed rations that can be stocked and
used later.
Standard models include a 4-point weighing system to monitor the amount of feed ration
inside the mixing chamber. This system incorporates weighbars located below the floor of
the mixing chamber, and a scale indicator option usually located at the front of the machine.
