Faster cattle feeding
Patz has introduced the 940 trailer-mounted auger mixer for large livestock operations.
The 1.16 metre (46-inch) wide discharge opening and three discharge augers deliver up to 5,000 pounds per minute for fast feeding. Tandem axles with spring-loaded suspension carry the load. The semi-trailer-type suspension reduces ton-gue weight while spreading the load evenly to all four tires. It has four 3Ú4 of a metre (30-inch) diameter augers and a circular mixing action to blend feed thoroughly.
