OPERATION:
Trailer mounted mixers can be furnished with single tractor controls or dual controls.
Dual controls are standard unless specified.
1. Single controls operate as follows: Spout goes down first - door opens
second. Door closes first - spout goes up second.
2. The disadvantage of the single control is that it does not let you adjust
the spout height without first closing the door.
ROTO-HAY PROCESSOR
The ROTO-HAY PROCESSOR is designed for processing hay into the mixer. This
eliminates the need for grinding hay, which saves the time and expense of grinding
and can save up to 18% loss from wind and handling.
THE ROTO-HAY PROCESSOR MUST BE PROPERLY USED
ALWAYS USE DRY HAY
Drain rain water out of mixer before use. 1” of rain in a 524-15 equals (72 gal) 586
lbs. of water which will increase the moisture in 1500 lbs. of dry hay (12%) to 37%
moisture or 1000 lbs. of dry hay to 45% moisture.
The ROTO-HAY PROCESSOR will handle small amounts of damp hay, but this is
done at your own risk. ROTO-MIX will not warranty bent or broken rotor tubes, bent or
broken augers, or bent hay pans caused from misuse, wet hay, foreign objects, and/or
overloading.
HAY PREPARATION:
1. SMALL BALES - (60 to 150 lbs., 2 or 3 wire) Remove twine or wire from
bales and break bales apart by pushing into a pole with a front end
loader.
2. LARGE SQUARE BALES - (3’ x 4’ x 8’ or 4’ x 4’ x 8’)
A. Position bale so you can et to end of bale with front end loader.
B. Remove twine or wrapping.
C. With front end loader, pull a 12” flake away from the bale so it can
be picked up with loader bucket - or - by adding 3 or 4 teeth (12”
long) to the top of your loader bucket, you can stab the end of the
bale and pick up a 12” flake to lay on the mixer hay pan.
3. ROUND BALES
A. Remove twine or wrapping.
B. Cut bale with a ROTO-BALE CUTTER a minimum of 5 times to part
the bale into a minimum of 12” chunks. More times may be desired
for ease of handling.
C. Break bales apart by pushing into a pole with a front end loader so
the hay can be loaded in quantities of approximately 200 lbs. at a
time.
