DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF THE FEEDER WAGON
4. DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF THE FEEDER WAGON
The schematic drawing of the feeder wagon is shown in Fig. 4.
Fig. 4 T659 feeder wagon:
1 — chassis, 2 — tank, 3 — mixer, 4 — discharge, 5 — platform with stairs, 6 — scales

DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF THE FEEDER WAGON
17
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - BelMix T659 FEED TRAILER
The feeder wagon consists of the following main assemblies:
• chassis (frame, axle and two driving wheels, tow bar, tow bar
support);
• pneumatic brake system;
• drive unit (telescopic jointed shaft I, intermediate shaft or 2-gear
transmission, telescopic jointed shaft II, intersecting axis gear
transmission);
• mixing and cutting unit (tank and worm screw mixer with blades
driven by an intersecting axis gear transmission);
• discharge unit (gate with a hydraulic actuator, discharge openings);
• weighing system;
• lighting equipment for travelling on public roads.
The feed components charged to the tank are cut by the mixer blades
and mixed together, and then discharged through the discharge
openings into the trough or to the feeding passage. The cutting and
mixing process is visually inspected from the service platform which
is also used for manual loading of bulk feed. There is a retaining ring
at the top of the feeder wagon's tank which prevents from falling
out of the feed with a high content of straw, hay or silage of grass.
The tank bottom deviates from flat by 10 mm due to design and
processing concerns.
4.1. WEIGHING SYSTEM
4.1.1. WEIGHING SYSTEM
The feeder wagons come with an electronic weighing system with four
independent weighing sensors and 50 programmable feed recipes.
Up to 30 different ingredients or components of specific weight can be
entered for each programmable recipe. The total weight of components
is displayed on the screen when the ingredients are charged to the
tank. The weighing system allows keeping the exact proportions of
components according to the recipe.
Detailed information about operation of the weighing
system can be found in the operating manual issued by
the device manufacturer. The manual is enclosed with
the present Operating Instructions.

DESIGN AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE OF THE FEEDER WAGON
4.1.2. LOCATION OF THE WEIGHING SYSTEM IN RELATION TO PTO
The scales support rotates by 180 degrees on an arm at the front of
the platform. The panel is placed at a safe distance of 570 mm from
the PTO.
Fig 5. Location of scales in relation to the PTO

INFORMATION ON THE OPERATION OF FEEDER WAGON
19
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - BelMix T659 FEED TRAILER
5. INFORMATION ON THE OPERATION OF FEEDER WAGON
5.1. TOW BAR SUPPORT OF THE POWER TAKE-OFF
SHAFT
The PTO rests on a support installed on the tow bar. In case of the
upper tow bar the PTO support is installed on the opposite side and
suspended under the hitch.
Fig. 6 Support of the power take-off shaft
5.2. TOW BAR POSITION CHANGE WITHOUT THE TWO-
GEAR TRANSMISSION
The feeder wagon may require changing the tow bar position to adjust
it to the tractor hitch. The tow bar should be in the top position for
coupling with the upper hitch and in the bottom position for coupling
with the agricultural hitch.
The tow bar hitch-ring height is:
• 54 to 100 cm in the top position;
• 20 to 67 cm in the bottom position.
The tow bar is fastened to the frame with sixteen M16x50 bolts (8.8).
The tow bar position is changed by removing the bolts, turning the
tow bar and reinstalling the bolts. Tighten to the torque of 210 Nm.
Exercise caution during this task – there is a risk of crushing of legs.
Two persons should carry out the tow bar position change due to the
large weight of the element. Before changing the tow bar position, park
the feeder wagon on a level and solid ground, rest it on the support and
engage the parking brake.
5.3. SUPPORT FOOT
The support foot is located in the front frame section directly behind
the tow bar. The bottom plate of the foot is 220 mm in diameter. The
surface area has been chosen to prevent sinking into loose (non-
compacted) soil.
5.4. COUPLING WITH THE TRACTOR
The feeder wagon can only be operated with tractors in a good working
order and the minimum power output of 60 kW (see details in table in
section 3.1) which have two sockets for the external hydraulic system
and a hitch (top or bottom transport) which can withstand the maximum
vertical load of 30 kN. To couple the feeder trailer to the tractor, it is
required to perform the following actions:
• approach the machine with the tractor so that the tow bar hitch-ring
is placed between the tractor hitch fork;
• turn off the tractor's engine, remove the ignition key and engage the
parking brake;
• couple the tow bar hitch-ring with the hitch by inserting the bolt and
secure the joint with the safety pin;
• couple the telescopic jointed shaft with the PIC of the trailer and the
PTO of the tractor; check the snap-on locks and install the guard
chains;
