• The total fodder quantity that can be mixed and chopped in one
mixing container filling cycle depends on the following factors:
ο mixing container capacity,
ο total dry mass of the fodder components to be mixed,
ο structure (stalk length and quality) of the individual fodder
components,
ο way and order of loading,
ο tractor power.
• Due to the different fodder components to be mixed, the loading
quantity for one mixing container filling cycle may vary. Avoid
overloading of the fodder mixing trailer when loading the mixing
container. In case of overload:
ο the individual fodder components cannot be mixed
homogeneously,
ο mechanical damage on the powertrain may occur,
ο cutting knives of the mixing auger may bend.
• If only one tractor is available, the mixing container can also be
loaded when unhitched. The mixing process will, however, be
accelerated if the mixing auger is powered during loading.
If the mixing auger is switched on only after loading or transport
journeys, more power will be required to set the fodder
components to be mixed in motion.

fodder mixing trailer on even ground.
4. Secure the tractor and the fodder mixing
trailer against rolling.
5. Close possibly open discharge doors.
6. Swivel the weighing device (if available)
from the tractor into loading direction.
7. Switch the weighing device on and start the
programme (if available).
8. Make sure that people leave the loading
area of the fodder mixing trailer.
9. Switch on the p.t.o. shaft of the tractor.
→ The mixing auger starts.
10. Let the tractor engine run at appropriate
speed to ensure that the tractor engine runs
equally and does not stall when the mixing
container is being loaded.
11. Load the mixing container by means of a
tractor equipped with a front loader or by
means of a wheeled / yard loader.
