5. TRACTOR SELECTION
Always follow the guidelines set in tractor’s manual. Contact the manufacturer if it is not
possible. Select a tractor of adequate power. Avoid tractors with electrically connected power take-
off. A tractor has to have adequate unladen mass to provide fluid ride on various surface conditions.
To drive the fodder wagon, a tractor of following parameters is required:
− 45kW for Power take-off at400rpm,
− Maximum power for reduction gear 1:1 /1:1.88 is 85 HP,
− At least one simple hydraulic system: power supply and return,
− Minimal hydraulic system efficiency: 35l/min oilat 540rpm,
− Electric installation at least 11V,measured on the machine, in all possible conditions.
Please note that power requirements are just a general guideline for your information. Power
required depends mainly on the quality of mixed fodder as well as the number of mixing paddles.
5.1. CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING
 Make sure that no one stands between the machine and a tractor while connecting or
disconnecting. Unintended maneuver by machine’s driver may cause danger for people
located in there.
 Check if the value and the direction of revolutions of tractor’s input shaft are adequate to the
parameters envisioned for the machine. Incorrectly chosen value of rotational speed, in a
long run, may cause damage to the machine or end up throwing its parts out.
 Make sure that the power take-off is connected properly. That means the shear pin has been
put on and restraining device has been mounted from both sides.

Operating manual
Tedder wagons OptiFEED
9
 Power take-off has to be properly secured. If the cover is damaged it should be replaced
immediately.
 Hydraulic hoses have to be checked before first use. Then they shall be subject to periodic
inspection once a year. If necessary, they have to be replaced. Working duration of
hydraulic hoses is 6 years, including up to 2 years of storage. Always replace hydraulic
hoses with those that fulfill manufacturer’s expectations. All hydraulic hoses are stamped
with date of production.
 Before turning the hydraulic system on, make sure that the hydraulic clutch is connected and
the cords or juncture are not damaged.
 After the engine is turned on, turn on tractor’s hydraulic valves to make sure that there is no
pressure in hydraulic hoses. Hydraulic fluid under pressure may penetrate the skin and cause
serious infection. Always protect the skin and eyes from hydraulic fluid. If you are hit by the
pressurized fluid, see the doctor immediately.
 Before connecting hydraulic system make sure that the mixing rotor, unloading cover and
fodder feeder are not blocked.
 Make sure that no one is near the machine while it is being turned on. If there is air in
hydraulic system, it may cause the machine to move unexpectedly.
5.2. SECURING THE MACHINE
It is essential for the motor not to be overloaded. This is why the power take-off is secured
by a shear pin. Under no circumstances use pins of other dimensions or qualities than of those of the
type mounted. Never clean parts of weight control system or display with pressurized water. Do not
use large amounts of fodder from long straw. Always add it in low quantities. You should not use
more than 250kg of long straw fodder for one mixing process.
6. THE CONSTRUCTION OF FODDER WAGON
Fodder wagon is equipped in electronic weighing machine which allows for precise
measurement of components from which the dose is made out of. Auger with blades guarantees
quick and total mixing of all fodder components. Ring preventing unloading, located on the top of
the container, prevents fodder from leaking out during mixing process.

6.1. COUNTERBLADES
Mixing chamber is equipped in two counter blades which are located cornerwise to the
auger’s axle. Counter blades can beextended in the mixing chamber only when cutting ingredients
of 10cm and longer, such as hay or straw. Cutting long materials into TMR is done separately,
before other ingredients are mixed together. Extended counter blades hold longer ingredients, which
then spin around with the auger. The blades on the auger can then easily cut them. Do not extend
the counter blade to mix short ingredients, crops or when the ingredients are damp.
Counter blades can be set in three different positions:
•Hidden completely (they do not extend in the mixing chamber),
•2 positions in between,
•Fully extended in the mixing chamber.

Counter blades always have to be set in desirable position by using a bolt (Fig. 3). The bolt
has to be always secured by a pin shaped in a letter R.
WARNING!
NEVER REGULATE COUNTERBLADES WHILE THE MACHINE
IS STILL WORKING.
DO NOT REMOVE THE COUNTERBLADES.
Fig. 3. Counter-knife locking
6.2. AUGER
There are blades on the auger, each of them mounted by three screws. The base in the lower
part of the blade is used to strengthen it.
The machine achieves high mixing standards thanks to the better use of volume and
optimized flow of materials. Thanks to the cone-like shape, silage bales land in deeper. There they
are being cut by larger amount of blades and are quickly shredded. Optimized auger’s shape
supports mixing in two directions – vertical and horizontal. Thanks to the auger’s cone-like shape, it
is possible to get homogeneous blends, even in small amounts of fodder. On top of that, unloading
of the machine and even distribution of fodder is guaranteed. Additional gathering arm supports this
process.

GENERAL FODDER WAGON MANUAL
Perform external review of the machine before each use:
 Check for any items in the container.
 Fold the ladder to a transport position after finishing the review.
 Check fluid level in the transmission gearbox.
 Check if the covers are closed entirely. If you are sure that everything is in order, then
connect power take-off to the tractor.
 Connect hydraulic hoses to the tractor.
 Connect lights plug to the tractor’s power supply.
 Connect weight’s plug to 12V tractor’s power supply.
 Adjust steering system to required parameters.
 Do not set weight parameters without accordance to manual’s instruction. It may damage it.
 Fodder wagon is equipped in double reduction gearbox. High speed should be used during
normal use of the machine. However, if the driver is inexperienced, it is recommended to
use slower gear ratios.
 Tractor of 70HP power will be sufficient to handle the fodder wagon at high speeds.
 While filling the container, check if it stands on a remotely flat ground.
 Having done all the previous instructions, the power take-off may now be connected, and its
revolutions may be increased to 540 to begin cutting and mixing processes.
7.1. FITTING THE DRAWBAR
The height of drawbar’s suspension is adjustable. It may be turned by 180°to create new
drawbar’s height.
Fig. 5. Adjusting the drawbar
Fitting the drawbar – model DUO S – The fitting of a drawbar in DUO S The fitting of a drawbar
works differently than in other SaMASZ fodder wagons. Regulating the drawbar requires
unscrewing the screws and moving the drawbar to a desirable height (Fig. 6):

Operating manual

Fig. 6. Adjusting the drawbar – DUO S
Keep in mind that by rotating the drawbar by 180° in DUO S unit, you need to make sure
that the part of a drawbar with a sensor needs to be rotated again (the label on the drawbar should
always be visible from the top) (Fig. 7).
Fig. 7. Recommended drawbar adjustment
Rotating the drawbar without turning it over once again will result in weighing sensor
indicating wrong component’s weight data.

7.2. POWER TAKE OFF
It is recommended to use power take-off that came with the fodder wagon. If there is a need
to change its length, please follow the manufacturer’s manual. It also refers to maintenance and
lubrication.
Fig. 8. PTO shaft
7.3. CONNECTING ELECTRIC WIRES
Weight control system’s electric cords as well as road lights and transportation lights need to
be connected to trailer’s electrical output. It is important that the connector is in a good shape
because weight’s control system requires voltage of minimum 11V.
WARNING!
MAINTAIN THE CONNECTOR IN A GOOD SHAPE.
7.4. ASSEMBLING THE CANTILEVER CONTROLLING THE
DISTRIBUTOR
Additional cantilever controlling the distributor needs to be installed in tractor’s cabin. Make
sure that the cords are not clamped or bent in a sharp degree as it would increase friction and would
cause troubles controlling the switches.
Fig. 9. Bracket for distributor control
8. ACTIONS TO PERFORM BEFORE FIRST USE
Before you start using the machine, please perform following actions:
1. Read the manual carefully.
2. Make sure that the fodder wagon is properly connected and is not damaged.
3. Check the manual for recommended value for power take-off revolutions and compare it
with tractor’s capabilities. Rotational speed too high may be very dangerous.
4. Check if power take-off is movable. If it is too long or too short it may damage the tractor as
well as the wagon. Check if the power take-off’s covers are damaged or are stuck. Check if

cover’s restraining device is mounted properly and will not be damaged anywhere or is not
too strained.
5. Check if hydraulic hoses are mounted properly and are not too short.
6. Inspect electrical connections.
7. Make sure that the drive is properly mounted to the tractor.
8. CAUTION: After few hours of work, all the screws need to be tightened again.
It is especially important to tighten the screws of quick-rotational parts, the auger’s,
transmission’s and wheels’. Tightening the screws again is essential after each repair.
9. Check tires’ pressure. Check if all the elements, especially chain drive, are properly
lubricated and if the oil’s level in chain drive is correct. Rotational parts were tested in a
factory and did not have any defects.
10. Turn on the machine at low arbor’s revolutions. If there are no audible unnatural cracks or
beats, the machine’s revolutions may be increased.
11. Machine should be turned on with tractor’s rear window open and without ear protection.

MACHINE’S UTILIZATION
In order to prevent drive’s excessive wearing and overload, it is recommended
to prepare and distribute fodder in one cycle .
WARNING!
DO NOT LEAVE MACHINE FILLED FULLY OVERNIGHT.
9.1. LOADING
Chamber should never be filled in more than 80%. Otherwise, mixing capabilities may
decrease.
Entire bales, not fragmented, cannot be loaded into the machine.
9.2. ADVISABLE FODDER LOADING ORDER
Ingredients of the highest density and firmness should be loaded first. Longer ingredients,
i.e. straw, should be added when the machine is filled halfway to get fragmented before any other
ingredients will be added.
When machine is filed in 50-60%, the remaining fodder should be added at the whole length
of the machine. This way, the fodder will be mixed homogeneously quicker.
9.3. MAXIMUM FODDER WAGON CAPACITY
In order to provide correct machine’s utilization, designed to mix and distribute fodder, and
in order to prevent possible damages, its capacity should not be exceeded. Maximum capacities of
fodder wagons are indicated in table below.

9.4. MAINTENANCE
In order to keep fodder wagon in standby mode, proper maintenance is required. Every day,
before using the machine, perform a review. Walk around the machine, checking its external parts.
Check for damaged or missing parts. Before lubricating and performing any repairs, always
disconnect power-take off and turn off tractor’s engine. Never turn on the machine without covers
in place. Some elements of hydraulic system may get hot while machine is working. Before
inspecting the machine or performing maintenance, leave it to cool off.
After first 25h of use, check all screws’ and packings’ connections, tires’ pressure, and
whether wheels’ screws are tightened up. After every 50h, check gearbox oil, lubricate unloading
doors’ guide, and inspect the auger. After every 100h lubricate power take-off’s transmission
points, extend shaft halves, lubricate the runner, check tires’ pressure, and tighten wheels’ screws.
Every year, check hydraulic hoses for any damages or breaks, if there is a need, replace them.
Check the bearings in road wheels, if there’s a need, regulate. Fill wheel cover with grease, check if
the screws are tightened up.
Fodder’s quality depends on adequate sharpening of auger’s blades. In order to keep
fodder’s quality high, avoid overloading the tractor and the wagon during the work, increase its
longevity and reduce fuel consumption, check auger’s blades sharpness once a month. Damaged
blades should be replaced as soon as possible. Blades on the auger are not subject to warranty.
WARNING!
SCREWS AND NUTS MUST BE TIGHTENED AFTER FEW HOURS
OF NEW MACHINE’S WORK. THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD BE
USED AFTER EACH REPAIR AND INTERIM REVIEWS – AT
LEAST ONCE A MONTH.

9.5. CLEANING
Never use high pressure water to clean parts of weighing system. Remember to remove
remaining of the fodder containing grain seeds enriched with caustic soda that is located on the
external parts of the machine. After cleaning the machine with pressurized water, make sure that it
did not get to the oil.
9.6. LUBRICATING
Make sure that the machine was properly lubricated before turning it on.
Lubricant type: High quality universal lubricant.
PTO should be lubricated once a week. Pay attention to PTO’s profile sliding tubes. They
must be able to perform longitudinal moves, even at high torques. Failing to lubricate profile pipes
will result in great increase of axial force which in turn may damage the power take-off and other
transmission shafts.
To make sure that the power take-off is working properly, check PTO’s cross brace
lubrication every 14 days. In order to do so, or to lubricate it, unlock the guards from both sides
(Fig. 10).
Fig. 10. Unlocking shaft guards
After unlocking PTO’s guards, flush grease nipple will be available to grease (Fig. 11).
Fig. 11. Shaft lubrication point
WARNING!
PTO’S CROSS BEARING IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY!
Remember to lubricate unloading indicator throughout its length. Only adequate lubrication
level will guarantee functionality (Fig. 12).
