OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
ELECTRONIC SCALES
Kuhn Knight Inc. offers a range of  scale heads with the most popular features to display accurate ration weight
while loading. Refer to the scale manufactures operator manual for operation and maintenance.
EXTRA KNIVES
Extra short and long knives are available for certain models. See Mixer Operation section for more information.
CARBIDE KNIVES
Carbide knives are used in conditions where normal knife wear is decreased by the materials being mixed.
PROGRESSIVE KNIVES
Progressive knives are longer and are more aggressive than standard or carbide knives. Progressive knives will
decrease mixing and hay processing time but will increase horsepower requirements to drive the mixer.
SIDE EXTENSIONS
8” Side Extensions are available to minimize spillage of light materials during processing and mixing.
The purpose of the side extension option is to help contain long stem material while processing, with the
convenience of loading from either side.
HAY RESTRAINT
The optional steel tube on the upper perimeter of the tub assures that large round bales will stay inside the
mixing chamber while processing while allowing little to no hay loss.
STAINLESS STEEL LINERS
Stainless Steel Liners are installed when mixing course materials to extend mixing chamber life span.
SINGLE SPEED HYDRAULIC DRIVE
Hydrostatic drive replaces the mechanical drive system, eliminating the driveline and reduction gearbox from the
truck PTO.
VARIABLE TWO SPEED HYDRAULIC DRIVE
Two speed hydrostatic drives offer greater start-up torque and speeds up final clean-out compared to single
speed hydrostatic drive.
MIXER OPERATION
Always refer to Operating Safety Precautions and Safety Decal sections of this manual before
operating this mixer.
