9.1 Loading of fodder mixing trailer
WARNING
Hazard situations can arise when the tractor is not properly
employed leading to failure of components inadequate tractor
stability and insufficient steering and braking ability occur!
Observe the regulations on maximum payload of the mounted /
hitched machine and the permissible axle and tongue loads of the
tractor. Run the machine only with partly-filled mixing container, if
necessary.
CAUTION
Risk of breakdown of components due to overloading of the
machine!
Observe the maximum load of the machine and the filling order of the
individual fodder components.
The fodder components should freely move in the mixing container
when the mixing auger is powered. Overloading may occur if fodder
components become entangled by the counter-cutters and blockages
pile up.
Overloading affects the machine’s performance and service life.
Damages due to overloading are excluded from warranty.
WARNING
Risk of crushing, cuts, entanglement or being drawn in if people
get into accidental touch with the powered mixing auger due to
improper loading of the mixing container!
• Only use appropriate equipment to load the mixing container.
Appropriate equipment may be:
ο tractor with front loader,
ο wheeled / yard loader.
• People are only allowed to load the mixing container manually if
they cannot accidentally fall into the mixing container.
People are not allowed on a level with or above the feed
opening of the mixing container.
• As a basic principle, meter additional fodder (e.g. mineral feed)
via the loading tool (shovel) or via the feed funnel (optional
extra) into the mixing container.
• Remove baler twines and nets before filling round or cuboid
bales into the mixing container.
• When loading the mixing container, ensure that the tractor
engine runs as equally as possible when powering the mixing
auger, i.e. without variations in the tractor engine speed.
Variations in the tractor engine speed indicate insufficient engine
power of your tractor and cause additional load to all other
powered components.
The required tractor power can be reduced by means of a two-
gear switchgear (optional equipment) in the powertrain of the
mixing auger.
