7.1.1 Cutout Clutch
The clutch is designed to limit the amount of torque transferred to the
machine through the driveline. If excessive torque is developed the clutch
will disengage. A loud ratcheting sound will be heard and the transfer of
power to the machine will be disrupted. This may occur when mixing or
unloading a heavy mix or if an obstruction has lodged within the mixer.
This is to protect the driveline from damage. Remove obstruction or
reduce load weight. To re-engage the machine, simply shut down the PTO
and allow the driveline to come to a stop. The PTO can then be re-
engaged to restart the mixer. The cutout clutch will either re-engage upon
shut down of the PTO or just before it comes to a complete stop.
7.1.2 Material
Some feed materials will need to be processed alone in the mixer before they can be efficiently mixed with other feed
materials.
• Large square or round bales of alfalfa
• Large square or round bales of high moisture content
• Large square or round bales of long mixed grasses, wheat or oat hay and crop residue bales (straw or soybean
stubble)
• Very light and bulky feed material
NOTE: Always remove any twine, net, or plastic wrap from bales before loading into mixer.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that after loading the mixer, the process continues until the material is fully
unloaded.
Never hand feed material into mixer while it is running. Augers may
cut or grab hands, clothing, or material being loaded, causing severe
injury. Always stop the engine before hand loading materials.
