OPERATION USING MECHANICAL DRIVE
There are some basic concepts that must be understood to achieve top mixing performance with the Vertical-
Maxx.
Maxx.
A new machine will need an initial run-in period to polish the augers and mixer sides to achieve correct material
movement inside the mixer. Until the unit is polished inside, one may experience material spillage, dead spots,
or increased horsepower requirements. The load size may need to be reduced until the unit is polished inside.

Mixing a ration in a vertical mixer generally involves three steps; processing, mixing, and unloading. The
sequence and timing of these steps is very important, and is different for every operator because of variations in
materials and conditions. There is some experimentation that must be done to work out the best equipment,
sequence, and timing for your particular operation. Following are some general suggestions to achieve good
results.

STEP #1 - PROCESSING
MATERIALS
Some feed materials will first need to be processed alone in the Vertical-Maxx before they can be efficiently
mixed with other feedstuffs in the Vertical-Maxx mixer. These materials include;
mixed with other feedstuffs in the Vertical-Maxx mixer. These materials include;
A. Large square or round bales of alfalfa*
B. Large square or round bales of high moisture “Baleage”*
C. Large square or round bales of long mixed grasses, wheat or oat hay and crop residue bales (straw
B. Large square or round bales of high moisture “Baleage”*
C. Large square or round bales of long mixed grasses, wheat or oat hay and crop residue bales (straw
or soybean stubble)*
D. Very light and bulky feedstuffs*
* Always remove twine from bales before loading into the mixer.
* Always remove twine from bales before loading into the mixer.
MIXER SETUP
A. Be sure that mixer is sitting level front to back and side to side.
This will ensure a level and even mix of feed.
B. Completely close mixer door.
C. Set Hay Stops according to instructions in setup section.
C. Set Hay Stops according to instructions in setup section.
LOADING
A. With the truck running at approximately 3/4 of rated PTO speed, load baled hay into center of mixer.
B. Allow mixer enough time to process bale before adding other ingredients (4 to 10 minutes) If you

need to inspect progress of the processing /mixing, always shut off the truck and remove the ignition
key before climbing the ladder to inspect the load.
key before climbing the ladder to inspect the load.
C. Processing of long stem forages will continue as other materials are added and mixed.
Be careful not to over process these materials before adding other ingredients.
ADJUSTMENTS
A.
When processing materials, there may be spillage over the side of the mixer. Following are some
steps to reduce this;
1.
steps to reduce this;
1.
Reduce load size
2.
Reduce RPM
3.
Be sure mixer is level
4.
Be sure augers and hoppers are polished so feed moves well inside mixer.
5.
Back off “Hay Stops” to a less aggressive or neutral position.
6.
Reset knives to a less aggressive setting.
7.
If spillage still occurs, the optional side extensions for the mixer may be needed.
