**Don’t Be Fooled by TMR Mixer Load Weights**
**Understanding the True Capacity of Vertical Mixers**
In the agricultural industry, it’s crucial to make informed decisions when investing in equipment. When considering a new TMR mixer, it’s essential to understand the difference between advertised load weights and actual achievable weights.
**Advertised Load Weights: A Common Misconception**
Many manufacturers advertise load weights that represent the maximum volume of the mixer, typically around 25 pounds per cubic foot. However, this inflated figure doesn’t accurately reflect the actual weight of the ration that can be mixed and delivered.
**Factors Affecting Actual Load Weights**
* **Mixer Design:** Vertical mixers require ample space for feed to flow and mix effectively. This space reduces the usable volume for feed.
* **Ration Density:** The density of the ration, which includes ingredients like hay, silage, and grain, is typically lower than 25 pounds per cubic foot. This further impacts the maximum load weight.
**Using the LEO Agriculture TMR Mixer Size Calculator**
To accurately determine the appropriate TMR mixer size for your operation, use LEO Agriculture’s TMR Mixer Size Calculator. This comprehensive tool takes into account critical factors such as:
* Herd size
* Feed type
* Desired feeding frequency
By inputting these parameters, the calculator provides a reliable estimation of the optimal mixer size to meet your specific needs.
**Avoid Misleading Information**
Don’t fall for the trap of misleading load weight claims. Utilize the LEO TMR Mixer Size Calculator to make an informed decision that ensures you invest in the right mixer for your operation.
