Strautmann releases smallest mixer in its range
New 7-cubic-metre feed mixer ideal for smaller herds, said local Strautmann distributor, Inlon.German farm machinery brand, Strautmann, has announced the addition of a new and smallest model to its feed mixer range – the seven cubic-metre Verti-Mix 70.
Strautmann feed mixers now range from seven to 45 cubic-metres in capacity in single, twin and triple auger configurations. The Verti-Mix 70 Vario2 stepped auger delivers fast mixing with optimal feed structure, which saves both time and money while improving nutrition, weight gain and fertility, said local distributor, Inlon.
The Verti-Mix 70 has a PTO requirement of 45hp, allowing smaller operations with lower horsepower tractors to run the machine. The feed mixer has been designed for trough or ground feeding.
“It is ideal for backgrounding as grain can be introduced to the feed more quickly to promote weight gain,” said Inlon’s Strautmann Product Manager, Shane Ryan.
“This compact feed mixer will suit stud breeders, sheep and goat farms, plus smaller farms that want to supplement feed when paddock feed is in short supply.”
The Verti-Mix 70 features a 6mm thick wall and 15mm thick steel floor for durability. A robust gearbox featuring large tapered roller bearings, double sealing, a large grease chamber and oil bath for the planetary reductions extend maintenance intervals and further enhances machine longevity.
Other features of the Verti-Mix 70 include electronic weigh scales, a drawbar stand for parking, adjustable counter knives and an additional scraper.
