Tractor+full feeder wagon=80 tonnes

[vantage]

Custom 60cube Strautmann on triple axles pulled by a 7310R last time I went by. Mixer is 15t empty.

They would do 5 or 6 mixes a day between all the farms...

The mixer cannot have much metal in it if it’s 60cube and only weighs 15t. My Keenan weighs over 8t, it’s 16 cube.

It’s suddenly dawned on me how it’s 80t, the tractor is pulling two feeders, we know the farm in question undoubtedly has the need for this!

About the most I could get in my 22m3 JF Stoll was about 9 tonnes before it would start to come over the edge or not mix properly. The mixer was about 8 tonnes empty. When doing a concentrate premix I would do up to 12 tonnes. It would hold more but started snapping shear bolts.
I visited a large dairy near Cardif who had just bough the a 45m3 tri axle feeder pulled by a 200 and something HP John Deere that had started cracking a lot of the yard concrete due to its weight.

Must take time on these big dairy units to fill the mixer wagon in the morning as some use up to 20 different ingredients in the ration.

Most dairy mixes are 400 to 500 kg’s per 1 cu m capacity, so 30 tonne in the feeder ?

I do an 11 tonne premix once a week of all the straights, Rape, Soya, rolled barley, ground maize, minerals and molasses. Speeds up the filling and improves accuracy.

According to the web he has approaching 2000 head.
If you say 18kg each thats 36,000kg.
I can't see the mixer and tractor weighing 44t empty?

However
36,000kg is as near as anything to 80,000 lbs.
Possible the rep is getting his units mixed?

Tractor would have to be fully weighted too, ~300hp tractors are only 14tish with full tank and weight block (unless you're looking at T8/8r/939 sizes)

I Can get 7.5t in a 14m3 single tub of grass silage beet and 250kg of blend, mixer weighing 5t? so 60m3 could be 20t empty, 30t of silage, 15t of tractor=65t + 20% statutory Chinese whisper exaggeration and your nearly there, 80t!
