PTO HORSEPOWER REQUIREMENTS

• PTO horsepower requirements are based on most normal dairy or beef rations. Horsepower requirements may vary

depending on the ration or material to be mixed.

• Refer to tractor weight requirements for these recommendations and transporting safety precautions for additional

tractor and towing requirements.

DRAWBAR ATTACHING SYSTEM

• Adjust tractor drawbar and/or the mixer clevis hitch so that the mixer is approximtely level. The top of the drawbar

should be 8”-12” below the tractor PTO shaft. Adjust the drawbar horizontally so that the hitch pin hole is 14”-16”

behind the tractor PTO and the drawbar is centered and locked into place.

• A hitch pin with a minumum of 1”diameter with a retainer pin is recommended.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

• Dual hydraulic outlets are required for operating the door and either the slide tray or the powerchute. If your tractor

has only a single set of ports, then either the 3 bank valve option or one of the 2 hose with manual selector valve

options should be ordered. On units with the power chute option, the chute hoses may be dicult to connect due

tothechuteweightontheliftcylinder.Liftweightochutecylindertoconnecthoses.Tractorhydraulicsystem

requirements are 6 GPM @ 1500 PSI when a slide tray is used, 15 GPM @2000 PSI when a 3-auger power chute is used.

MIXER OPERATION

• Always use cured dry hay. Toughhaycancausewrapping,bindinganddamagetothemixerandcanadverselyeectthe

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.

MIXING SPEED

• The design of the Turbo-Max Mixer requires that there be adequate space to allow the feed to move in and around

the reel chamber. If the reel is completely covered, it cannot eciently mix the materials. The reel cross tubes or

paddles should always be visible at the top of their rotation to allow this mixing space.

•Loadallcommoditiesfromtheauger/dischargesideofthemixer.

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.

4. Finish Loading Wet Commodities

• Any other wet feeds may be added at this time.

characteristics.

• 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

• 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.

NORMAL SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT! READ BEFORE OPERATING MIXER.

• Roller Chain Tighteners so they apply sucient spring tension to keep roller chains running smoothly. The chain will

form grooves in the tightener blocks. These grooves help to keep the chains in proper alignment, and the blocks need

not be turned unless the roller portion of the chain has worn into the block.

• Roller Chains for wear, proper alignment and tension. Adjust or replace if necessary. Roller chain connector links which

pass over polyethylene tightener blocks must have the legs of the cotter pins trailing to the direction of rotation.

• Safety Decals for readability. If any safety decals are removed, obstructed, or otherwise not understandable, they should

be replaced immediately. Keep all decals clean and visible.

• Safety Shielding to be sure all shielding is in place and functions properly. Replace all damaged or missing shielding

immediately - see parts pages for more information.

• Bolts and Set Screws after a few hours of use and each month thereafter. Tighten if necessary.

• Reel Wipers plastic strips which help material clean out of the reel hopper. If the strips become bent back, they can be

unbolted and turned around or replaced to improve clean out.

• Upper Auger Knives (optional) can be turned over for use on a new cutting edge and should be periodically sharpened,

or replaced if they are no longer suciently breaking up material.

• Lower Auger Round Knives can be rotated several times before sharpening or replacement is required.

• Discharge Chute Augers (optional) to keep from rubbing on the chute body: There are shims behind each chute auger

bearing for alignment. Periodically check chute liners for wear, replace as necessary.

• Trailer Hitch for proper location, alignment and tightness of attaching bolts. If the upper clevis bar becomes excessively

worn the hitch assembly should be unbolted and replaced as necessary. Frequently check the clevis attaching bolts for

tightness, and that the clevis is secure. Worn or damaged bolts must be replaced.

INSPECT AND ADJUST

MAINTENANCE

• Wheel Bolts must be kept properly torqued. Damage to the rim may occur if wheel bolts are not checked frequently.

8-bolt rim: 170 ft lbs-Grade 8 Lug

10-bolt rim: 300 ft lbs-Grade 8 Lug

• Tire Wear and Pressure must be checked to ensure that there is no excessive wear, and that tires are inated to the rec-

ommended operating pressure for each given tire.

• Rain can accumulate in mixer if stored outside, always remove drain plugs on hopper ends to allow unit to drain com-

pletely and replace drain plugs before next use.

• Freezing Weather the PTO shield requires extra grease to prevent freezing. Snow can accumulate in mixer if stored

outside, always remove drain plugs on hopper ends to allow unit to drain completely and check hopper for snow or ice

buildup before operating unit. Thaw and remove any obstruction and replace drain plugs before next use.

• IMPORTANT: WHEN WELDING ON THIS UNIT: Do NOT allow the current to ow through the bearings, roller chains,

or scale weigh bars. Ground directly to the item being welded. ALWAYS disconnect weigh bar cords from scale indicator

before welding.

• Scale Indicator: Refer to the electronic scale operators manual for adjustment information. The operator’s manual

for the Electroic Scales should be kept with this manual. Additional scale manuals may be obtained through Sioux

Automation Center, Inc.

• Load Cells: Should be kept clean, dry,and lubricated to insure dependabiltiy.

• Normal Scale Activity: Some warm up scale “drift” may occur after the scale is turned on but should zero balance

within 10-15 minutes. Scale may zero shift over night due to temperature changes.

IF APPLICABLE

• It is extremely important that the following lubrication schedule be followed: Bearings: use a good quality

multipurpose grease. Replace all damaged or missing grease zerks immediately. Always clean zerks before using

grease gun. Pump the grease in slowly until a slight bead forms around the bearing seals. Once a month check lines

and connections on grease banks for leaks.

• Oilbath Oil: Use a good high quality universal oil. Use an oil that meets or exceeds hydraulic oil grade. Fill to the top

lower oilbath roller chain. Change yearly or whenever contaminated.

• Before operating a new mixer, the roller chains should be liberally lubricated and then the unit operated under a

no-load condition. This break-in period will allow the roller chains to be thoroughly lubricated and thus minimize

heat-up during operation.
