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 excessive stem length.

HAY QUALITY

• Do not overload the mixer! Overloading causes excessive horepower requirements, increased strain on the

mixer driveline and poor mixer performance.

FILL LEVEL

MIXER OPERATION

Always refer to Equipment Safety Guidelines & Before Operation sections of this manual before operating this mixer.

• The Turbo-Max Mixer was designed for blending dairy and beef rations. Most commonly used ingredients, including

limited amounts of dry stem hay, can be mixed quickly and uniformly in this mixer. If you have questions regarding your

feed ration or have other applications, please contact Sioux Automation Center, Inc.

• Mixingperformancecan vary greatlyaccordingtothedierencesinmaterials,loadingsequence,mixingspeed,and

unloading methods.

GENERAL

• When the mixer is in operation it has many moving parts which could cause severe injury or death to persons coming in

contact with these parts. To help avoid serious accidents, please read and understand this manual.

SAFETY

• Do not load hay without other dry commodities in the mixer rst 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 overloading 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.

MIXING TIME

• When deciding when and how fast to operate the mixer, factors such as ingredients being used, the thoroughness 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.

1. Load Commodities

• Adding ingredients like corn, soybean meal, cottonseed, etc. will act as a carrier or “lubricant” if hay is included

in the ration.

• If there are few commodities in the ration, substituting corn silage or haylage is preferred.

• Fill mixer between 1/3-1/2 full by volume in commodities and forage before adding the hay to the ration. This

will allow enough room for the hay to expand and bring feed level up so the top auger can assist in processing.

2. Load Hay

• Load processed hay. With the mixer running at 3/4 to full PTO speed, proceed loading the small square bale pieces

or tub ground hay into the mixer. Do not exceed 15%-20% of hay by weight.

3. Finish Loading Commodities

• Finish loading any other ingredients to complete the ration in order of least binding ingredient to most binding.

Example: dry commodities rst, corn silage second, haylage last.

• FORAGES- Chopped hay, corn silage, and nely 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, aked, 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.

MATERIAL THAT CAN BE LOADED DIRECTLY INTO THE MIXER

MIXER OPERATION

• After the ration has been thoroughly mixed, open the mixer door to begin unloading. The combination of the dis-

charge door opening and the mixer speed determines the ow of feed from the mixer. The door must be opened far

enough to prevent separation of materials.

• The Turbo-Max Mixer is equipped with a slide tray to assist in the delivery of feed. The tray height is adjusted with

hydraulic cylinders.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION OF HYDRO DRIVE

In the event of cold weather operating conditions (temps < 35F), it is recommended to add supplementary heat to the

hydraulic oil reservoir in order to aid in quicker and easier start ups. Thermostatically controlled magnetic tank heaters (or

similar type heaters) can be used to warm the oil near the suction line of the tank. Follow the manufacturers guidlines for

using the heaters. It is recommended not to operate the truck faster than an idle or engage the hydro until the oil tem-

perature is near 40F. If the oil is colder than this, the pumps may be starved of oil and damage of the pumps (both hydro-

static and auxiliary) may occur.

-DO NOT Bottom out a gate cylinder so oil goes over the relief in the valve to make the oil heat faster!

-DO NOT Run the hydrostatic pump control until the oil has warmed up!

HYDROSTATIC PUMP SYSTEM

The augers and the reel are independantly powered by seperate hydrostatic pumps which are powered by a single

driveshaft from the engine. The pumps can be set up for either CCW (counter clockwise) or CW (clockwise) rotation.

Typically, if the pumps are mounted in front of the engine, CCW pumps are installed and CW pumps are used if the

pumps are installed behind the engine.

Each hydrostatic pump is actuated by an electrical solenoid which is operated from the cab. Each hydro can be

controlled independently.

Located on the end of the hydrostatic pumps is a single auxiliary hydraulic gear pump. The pump is powered by the main

driveline for the machine which ensures hydraulic power is available at all times provided that the truck engine is running.

The auxiliary pump provides hydraulic uid power to components such as the unloading door and the discharge chute.

The auxiliary pump is designed for minimal maintenance and service.

HYDRAULIC FILTRATION

The hydraulic oil used in the hydraulic system on your 6100 series mixer was selected for its heavy duty operating

properties. This minimizes frequent hydraulic oil changes and extends the life of the hydraulic systems components.

It is recommended to change the hydraulic oil every 1000 hours of regular use or when oil properties degrade. If

the uid becomes black it is a sign that the uid is overheating. Also, if the uid appears to be milky, this is a sign of

water contamination.

If in doubt as to the condition of your hydraulic oil, contact your authorized SAC Dealer or Distributor or your local

hydraulic service center. A sample of the hydraulic oil can be tested with the correct testing equipment. Good condition

hydraulic oil must meet the following minimum requirements.

1. Water Content in Hydraulic Oil <100 Parts/Million

2. Viscosity of Hydraulic Oil +/- 10% of Original Specication

3. ISO Oil Cleanliness Standard of 18/13

Your mixer is equipped with an integrated charge pump lter. It is critical that this lter is changed on a regular

basistokeepthesystemrunningnormal.Thechargelter(1perunit,locatedonthehydrostaticpumpnextto

the auxiliary pump) must be changed within 20 hours of initial startup. The lter must be changed again at 100

hours of use. After the rst two initial lter changes within 100 hours of startup, the lter changes must occur

every 250 hours therafter.

every 500 hours thereafter.

Changing Hydraulic Oil and Reservoir Maintenance

The following steps should be followed to change the hydraulic uid and clean the reservoir:

1. Position catch containers under the reservoir below the drain plug. Make sure the ball valves located on the tank

are in the open position. Thevolumeofthehydraulicreserviorislarge;makesuretheselectedconainersare
