Feeding a Total Mixed Ration (TMR) can increase milk production from 2% to 8% and improves herd health. With Farm Master mixers, every bite contains a full complement of a cow's nutritional requirements.

Beef Cattle - use 1-2 cu. ft. per animal per day.
1 cu. ft. of TMR (haylage, silage, grain) averages 15 to 20 lbs. 1 cu. ft. of grain mix averages 20 to 30 lbs |

- Farmmaster forage mixers are designed to be not only the most cost effective TMR mixers in the industry, but are built to last and reduce downtime for repair. Engineered with a minimum of moving parts, these mixers have a rotating drum instead of internal mixing paddles and use nature's most powerful force, gravity, as part of the process in mixing. In addition to having low horsepower requirements, these mixers are among the easiest equipment to maintain on the farm.
- Feed ingredients are added in the front of the hopper and move to the back where they are picked up and deposited into the auger. With the discharge door closed the material is carried to the front and dropped back into the hopper where the process repeats.
- Passive ribs disturb the outside of the feed load, creating a secondary mixing action.
- A super strong, quiet synthetic idler for the main drive chain is fully adjustable, while the drum drive utilizes a spring-loaded idler. All bearings have grease fittings for maintenance.
- Balance in the mixing process is accomplished in a simple, effective manner. A sliding cover on the end of the auger allows more or less forage to enter the auger.
- Balance adjustment is made with a crank at the front of the unit.
- Standard on each model are magnets on the chute and an efficient, easy to operate, manual discharge door.
- Lubricating the drum rollers is done remotely from the front.
- Maintenance and repair is minimized with impressive 3/8" sectional flighting in the rear 27", forward of that, 3/8" helicoids cupped flighting is used.
- Optional scales with a digital readout, monitor not only the total weight, but provides guidance in adding vitamins and minerals. Scale digital readout can be mounted remotely on a convenient wall.
- A weigh bar mounts under the unit at each corner. Adds 4 3/4" to overall height.
