Power hungry mixer

[Pebd99]

Hi there. I've got a 24 cu m trioliet twin auger wagon. Had it for a few years now and has always been a hard thing to power. 130hp valmet is normally on it and starts to puff above 4t of a mix. 230hp Mccormick is fit for a 6/7t load but just burned out the second set of pto clutch packs starting it up.

Are other wagons as hard to power???

Seems weird as I see some videos of wagons with huge loads in comparison going no problem.

It got new blades last year and the mix is normally a bale of straw, chopped bales or pit silage usually.

Any thoughts?

Tia

80hp here on a 15 cube single auger here for 3 years and will start up with near on 6 tonne no problem,single gearbox on mine though so is going to be a lot easier to drive

20 cube keenan easy to power, 185hp turns it full on tick over no worries.
