GENERAL
The Reel Auggie and Commercial Reel Mixer were designed for blending dairy and beef rations. Most
commonly used ingredients, including limited amounts of dry stem hay, can be mixed quickly and uniformly in this
mixer. If you have questions regarding your feed ration or have other applications, please contact Kuhn Knight Inc.
The Reel Auggie and Commercial Reel mixer’s mixing performance can vary greatly according to the differences in
materials, loading sequence, mixing speed, and unloading methods. The following guidelines should be understood
before operating the Mixer.
The Hay Maxx System is designed to start processing hay before it enters the mixing chamber. This is an efficient
way to add long stem hay to the ration. The hay pan holds the hay in position, while the auger begins to process
the hay with the aid of hard edge knives and shear angles. The hay pan, backstop, aggressive auger knives, and
shear angles, work in combination to tear hay apart faster for more even mixing.
When you see this Hay Maxx System logo

operation instructions.
The Roughage Maxx System is designed to complete hay processing once it reaches the mixer’s lower auger.
