Technical data

Product description

Compact vertical mixer with 10 m³ capacity

A vertical mixing auger with nine knives prepares the ration, while two hydraulically operated discharge openings dispense it. A 4-point weighing system with LCD display records load weight and working time.

65 PS – an entry into mixing technology

This is the lowest power requirement among PRONAR feed mixer wagons. The wagon is suitable for tractors in the 70 PS class – making TMR feeding accessible to smaller farms too.

With an overall length of 4.860 mm and a height of 2.670 mm it also fits through barn doorways that larger machines cannot get through.

20 mm floor – the measure of service life

The tank floor is 20 mm thick, while the side wall and extension are each 8 mm thick.

Why the floor is the critical component: The auger rotates directly above it, while sand, stones and soil in the silage act like abrasive paper. A worn-through floor is the most common reason a mixer wagon reaches the end of its life – repairs are costly because the auger has to be removed.

At 20 mm, it is the same thickness as the floors on the range's larger models – no corners have been cut where it matters most.

9 knives adjustable to three positions

The knives are distributed as follows: three at the bottom, six at the top.

Why this distribution makes sense: The lower knives engage material that has already been loosened, while the upper ones cut into the still-compact load. This chops material throughout the full filling height.

Three adjustable positions allow the knives to be matched to the ration:

• Aggressive for breaking up round bales and chopping long straw.
• Gentle for already-chopped silage that does not need further chopping.

All knives are replaceable – worn knives can be replaced individually.

Two counter-knives

They project from the tank wall into the flow of material and hold the feed in place while the auger knives cut it. Without counter-knives, long material simply rotates with the auger, instead of being cut.

Optional equipment includes two levers for manual operation or a counter-knife hydraulic system with distributor and control levers.

4-point weighing system as standard

On a feed mixer wagon, this is not an optional extra but the key instrument.

Why four weighing points: They measure the load at every support point. With fewer points, uneven loading – for example, a bale on one side – distorts the result.

The LCD display also shows the mixing auger's working time – making it possible to keep mixing times consistent, which is essential for uniform rations.

Discharge openings with outlets and adjustable chutes

Two hydraulically operated discharge openings, with metal outlets and adjustable chutes beneath them.

Why the chutes matter: They direct the feed precisely to the feed barrier, rather than dropping it right beside the wheel. Adjustable means the distance to the feed table can be changed – to suit the barn, not the other way round.

Platform on both sides

With access steps on the left and right. This is not just a comfort feature: blockages in the tank are cleared by hand, and with a tank height of 1,59 m, safe access from both sides is essential.

A safety guard for the movable upper rim is also included as standard.

The two-speed gearbox as the key option

As standard, the auger runs at 25,6 rpm. The optional reduction gearbox provides a choice of two speeds:

Why it is worthwhile: The slower speed treats the ration more gently and requires less power; the faster speed breaks up bales more quickly. With a fixed speed, a compromise is always necessary.

Flexible hitching and braking options

Standard equipment includes a top hitch with a rigid Ø 40 towing eye and 2-line compressed-air brakes. Available at no extra cost are:

• Rigid drawbar with bottom hitch
• 1-line compressed-air brakes or hydraulic brakes

This makes the wagon suitable for almost any tractor – including older models with a single-line or hydraulic braking system.

For use exclusively on the farm, a version without brakes or lighting is also available to reduce the price.

8 or 10 m³

The 10 m³ capacity applies with the 250 mm extension. Without the extension, the tank holds 8 m³ – this version costs less.

Regarding payload: At 4.000 kg, payload is the limiting factor. 10 m³ of silage can weigh considerably more, depending on its dry matter content – in practice, the wagon is rarely filled to capacity by volume.

Additional equipment

• Rigid drawbar with bottom hitch (no extra charge)
• 1-line compressed-air brakes or hydraulic brakes (no extra charge)
• Version without 250 mm extension (8 m³)
• Version without lighting system
• Version without brakes, with handbrake
• PTO shaft, optionally with clutch
• Two-speed reduction gearbox with 33 and 17 rpm
• Two levers for the counter-knives
• Counter-knife hydraulic system with distributor and control levers
• Spare wheel
• Slow-moving vehicle warning triangle

Applications

Dairy farms, beef farms, farms using TMR feeding, sheep and goat farms, equestrian establishments, part-time farms and farms with narrow barn entrances.

Operating notes

• Maintain a PTO speed of 540 rpm.
• A minimum of 65 PS or 48 kW is required.
• Check the towing vehicle's drawbar load: up to 1.300 kg.
• Follow the correct order when adding ingredients – this affects mixing quality and mixing time.
• Do not overmix: mixing for too long destroys the structure of the ration. The working-time display helps prevent this.
• Never climb into or reach into the tank while the PTO is running.
• Before working inside the tank, disengage the PTO, stop the engine, remove the key and wait for the auger to come to a complete stop.
• Check the knives regularly and replace them in good time – blunt knives significantly increase power requirements and mixing time.
• Check the weighing system regularly and calibrate it when necessary.
• Clean the tank and outlets after use; leftover feed ferments and spoils the next ration.

Frequently asked questions

What is the capacity of the mixer wagon?

10 m³ with the 250 mm extension, 8 m³ without. Payload is 4.000 kg, with a permissible gross weight of 7.700 kg.

What tractor do I need?

65 PS or 48 kW – the lowest power requirement among PRONAR feed mixer wagons. Drawbar load is 1.300 kg.

Why is the floor 20 mm thick?

The auger rotates directly above it, while sand and stones in the silage act like abrasive paper. A worn-through floor is the most common reason a mixer wagon reaches the end of its life.

How many knives does the auger have?

Nine replaceable knives – three at the bottom and six at the top. They can be adjusted to three positions to match the cutting action to the ration.

Is the two-speed gearbox worthwhile?

It provides 33 rpm for breaking up bales and 17 rpm for gentle mixing. With the standard fixed speed of 25,6 rpm, a compromise is always necessary.

Can the wagon be used with a tractor without compressed-air brakes?

Yes. 1-line compressed-air brakes or hydraulic brakes are available at no extra cost, as is the bottom hitch.

What does the weighing system do?

Each ingredient in the ration is weighed in separately. Four weighing points measure the load at every support point – even when the load is unevenly distributed. The display also shows the mixing auger's working time.

What are the adjustable chutes for?

They direct the feed precisely to the feed barrier, rather than dropping it beside the wheel. The distance to the feed table can be adjusted to suit the barn.
