Mini-Mixer Works Like A Full-Size TMR Unit
It may be small, but Jaylor Fabricating's new mini-mixer can chew up hay and other feeds as well as a big TMR mixer. With a 50-cu.ft. capacity ù enough to feed 10 dairy cows with one mix ù the mini mixer is designed for small dairy operations, special needs groups in large dairies (sick or dry cows), cow/calf operations, and for small ruminants such as sheep, goats and deer.
  "Since we introduced it in September we have sold it in every sector we built it for," says Gerry Tamminga, sales manager of the Ontario company. "Abroad there's also phenomenal interest."
  The vertical TMR mixer has a digital scale to weigh each ingredient and is big enough to handle small square bales or slices off large square bales. It comes in four models. The top of the line ($12,600) is self-propelled with hydrostatic all-wheel drive that travels easily through mud, snow and farmyard terrain. It has a 13 hp Vanguard industrial engine and a robust hydraulic system.
  "It can turn 90 degrees, so it's very maneuverable, and fits down most tie stall feed aisles," Tamminga says.
  The trailer model ($9,090) can be pulled by an ATV. There's also a stationary model with a 10 hp electric motor ($9,130) and a truck-mount model that is skid-mounted for easy installation on a flatbed pickup ($9,130).
  The mini mixer has a durable plastic tub, which may outlast steel according to testing.
  The 50-cu. ft. model is the smallest size Jaylor makes, but the company plans to add larger mini-mixers in the future. The next model will have a 100-cu. ft. capacity.
