“In” Position
The “in” position on the knives (hole 1 & 2) will slow down the
early feed movement of long stem hay and lighter bulky materials,
resulting in less spillage due to clearance between the knives. This
setting is more desirable for heavy rations with long run time and
where over processing can occur. Knives placed in the “in” position
are less aggressive in processing feed and will also reduce the HP
requirement.

REPLACING KNIVES
When knives become worn and rounded on the leading edge, their efficiency is greatly reduced, resulting in
longer processing times and increased HP requirements. Refer to your service parts manual and contact your
Kuhn Knight Dealer for replacement part ordering.

MOVING KNIVES - “IN” OR “OUT”
“Out” Position
The “out” position on the knives (hole 1 & 3) will tend to move the long
stem hay and lighter bulky materials best in the early stages of
processing and mixing. This setting may result in more feed “boiling”
inside the mixer and may increase feed spillage in certain materials.
Knives placed in the out positions are very aggressive in processing
feed it will also increase the HP requirement.

KNIFE ADJUSTMENT
The Vertical Maxx Mixer is designed and intended for processing and mixing rations that include long stem
forages. In most cases, the knives that come standard on the mixer are placed to work well in most rations.
However, some rations may require adding or removing knives to obtain the desired result.

However, some rations may require adding or removing knives to obtain the desired result.
REMOVING KNIVES
Individual knives may be removed from the auger if the ration does not include hay, or includes very small
amounts of small square bale hay or tub ground hay. Removing knives will decrease the aggressive cutting
action on the stem length of the ration and may also reduce horse power requirements.

action on the stem length of the ration and may also reduce horse power requirements.
ADDING KNIVES
If the hay in your ration is not being processed enough or fast enough, extra knives and backers may be ordered
through your dealer. Adding extra knives will help break down and process materials faster, but may
increase the horsepower required to process and mix.

The placement of knives towards the bottom of the auger will process the forage faster and make stem the
length shorter, but may require more horsepower. Placement of knives higher on the auger will assist in
breaking up bales faster after initial loading.
