Download Vertical Feed Mixer Brochure
Model 865 is a twin auger vertical feed mixer with a mixing capacity of 860 cu. ft and it can hold a maximum load with a heavy ration up to 21,500 lbs. The side discharge or front center flat sliding conveyor feed out of either side. Fixed or adjustable incline conveyors are optional. Twin matching single flighted augers with several knife options are available for faster mixing and processing of long fiber material. This unit is available in either truck, trailer or stationary. Its low profile allows several types of loaders to input feed without clearance concerns. The trailer model can be operated with a 110 hp or larger tractor. Twin screws are powered by a reliable, low maintenance PTO-driven, planetary gearbox. This feed mixer is for medium, to large sized dairy, cow/calf, stocker and heifer operations.
Feed rises 42" per revolution to mix twice as fast!
42" every 3.3 seconds at 18 revolutions per minute!
745/865 models have inclined conveyor with optional 14" spout with magnets to match your feeding needs.
745/865 models have two-speed gearbox for slow speed mixing and high RPM for better cleanout. Optional hydraulic shifter allows operator to change between low and high gear from tractor seat.
