LIMITATIONS
Do not load hay without other dry commodities in the mixer first to act as a carrier or “lubricant”.
Do not overload hay content, Kuhn Knight Inc. recommends up to 15% -20% of unprocessed hay by weight in
the load. Exceeding this percentage could potentially damage mixer and cause premature wear on driveline compo-
nents. Kuhn Knight Inc. will not be responsible for damage caused by overloading, wet hay or foreign objects.
WARNING
Do not use tough hay (20%-60% moisture) Always use cured, dry hay. Wet hay, foreign objects or overloading
may cause binding and damage to the mixer.
Do not overload HAY MAXX SYSTEM with too much hay. This can cause bridging over the
auger. If this occurs never attempt to release jammed materials or clean out materials from the Hay Maxx area
without stopping mixer and locking out power so that the mixer cannot be accidentally turned on.
LOADING AND MIXING
Prior to loading check mixer for foreign objects and be sure door is fully closed.
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.
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 hay to expand and bring feed level up so the top auger can assist in pro-
cessing.
2) A) LOAD HAY ( without hay maxx)
With the mixer running, proceed loading the small square
bale pieces or tub ground hay into the mixer. Do notexceed 15% -20% of unprocessed hay by weight.
Grains, proteins and minerals should be added at the beginning of the load. Free-flowing slippery
materials also act as a lubricant for the bulky feeds to be added later.
The hay can be loaded after the previously added grains. Grains help to move the hay into the augers. It
often helps to have the mixer running while adding the hay and to load the hay on the auger side.
B) LOAD HAY
With the mixer running proceed to load the hay on the hay pan. Load the slabs toward the front end of the
hay pan, so the hay is not resting against the rear backstop.
For best results, do not overload the hay pan and Allow time to process the hay in the HAY MAXX SYSTEM
before adding more. Repeat until proper percentage of hay for ration is met (not to exceed 15%-20% hay by
weight).
3) FINISH LOADING DRY FEEDS
Finish loading any other ingredients to complete the ration in order of least binding ingredient to most
binding example: dry commodities first, corn silage second, haylage last.
4) FINISH LOADING WET FEEDS
Any other wet feeds may be added at this time.
5) ADD WATER
If ration includes water, add it last. Adding water at the beginning will cause the hay to bind.
NOTE: Do Not overload mixer! Overloading causes excessive horsepower requirements, increased strain on
driveline and poor mixer performance.
