“The mixing tub is mounted directly to the chassis, which absorbs any forces rather than the tub when mixing heavy or dense feed. The two symmetrical bottom auger flightings provide a surface area right to the edge of the tub, which means the tub is completely cleaned out. The curved discharge door prevents the feed from getting stuck in corners." “Another big plus is that they can be easily operated using a 100 to 110 hp tractor. The twin auger VLL-S models are available in capacities from 16 to 24 cubic metres, which are ideal for supplementary feeding medium-sized herds. By comparison, the side-discharge ZK series, which have capacities up to 32 cubic metres, are best suited for large herds or those providing total mixed rations. As a rule of thumb, a capacity of one cubic metre is sufficient to supplementary feed 14 cows or to provide a total mixed ration to seven cows.”Īll Solomix 2 mixer wagons are equipped with two Twin Stream vertical augers, which feature 22 mm thick top flightings, 25 mm bottom flightings, patented horizontal offset inserts and up to 12 self-sharpening knives as standard. “The shape and dimensions of the augers and mixing chamber are matched to ensure a perfect mix,” Blair says. “These augers have been designed to prepare a thoroughly mixed ration and maximum durability. CLAAS Harvest Centre Product Manager – Trioliet, Blair McAlwee, says the new series complements the ZK series already in use throughout New Zealand. “Unlike the larger ZK series, which has a ‘bath tub’ shape and a side discharge door, the VLL-S is a taller, more compact wagon with a front discharge door,” he says. “It also has a low centre of gravity, which combined with wide tyres and axle, makes it very stable during transport across uneven roads or paddocks.
