TMR Silage Mixer Feeder Wagon | Silage Feed Mixer Spreader

A TMR silage mixer feeder wagon is a self-propelled feed processing machine that integrates chopping, mixing, weighing, and spreading into a single unit. It is designed to prepare Total Mixed Ration directly at the feed fence, eliminating the need for separate mixing and transport equipment.

The machine processes 2.5–3 tons per hour and completes one batch in 2–3 minutes. It handles corn silage, hay, straw, and concentrate feed, making it suitable for dairy farms, beef feedlots, and sheep operations. Standard capacities range from 3 m³ to 8 m³, with the TZ-3R and TZ-5R being the most popular models.

Compared with traditional tractor-pulled mixers, this silage feed mixer spreader features a compact three-wheel or five-wheel chassis for easy maneuvering in narrow barns. The built-in weighing system with four load cells ensures accurate ration formulation, while the hydraulic discharge system allows precise feed placement. Taizy manufactures both diesel and electric models to match different farm power conditions.

Diesel vs. Electric Drive: Which TMR Mixer Feeder Wagon Is Right for You?

Diesel TMR Silage Mixer Feeder Wagon

The TZ-3R and TZ-5R diesel silage mixer feeder wagons are designed for large herds and farms without reliable electricity. The TZ-3R uses a 32 hp diesel engine and delivers 2.5 t/h, while the TZ-5R features a 35 hp engine, a 5 m³ hopper, and a five-wheel chassis, with a capacity of 3 t/h.

Both models operate at 23 r/min and feature hydraulic-controlled loading, four weighing sensors, and a hydraulic discharge gate with a belt conveyor. The TZ-5R also includes an XK3190 weighing indicator and a semi-enclosed cab, making these models suitable for feedlots and extended daily feeding operations.

Advantages:

• Works anywhere, no charging required
• Higher torque for heavy loads
• Suitable for large farms and long distances
• Faster cycle times for high-throughput operations

Best for: Large dairy farms, beef feedlots, and operations without reliable electricity.

Electric TMR Silage Mixer Feeder Wagon

The TZ-3 electric silage mixer feeder wagon is ideal for farms with 220V charging access and a need for low-emission operation. It features a 3 m³ hopper, a 72V lead-acid battery pack, and a 3 kW motor.

The machine processes one batch in 2–3 minutes and travels up to 60 km on a full charge. Its compact size (3600 × 1300 × 1950 mm), two-sided discharge, and rear foot brake make it suitable for narrow feed alleys and indoor barns. Charging takes 6–8 hours, helping reduce fuel and maintenance costs.

Advantages:

• Lower running cost per hour
• Zero emissions, quiet operation
• Less maintenance than diesel engine
• Ideal for indoor barns and enclosed feeding areas

Best for: Small to medium farms, indoor feeding, and operations with charging infrastructure.

What Are the Main Functions of a TMR Mixer Feeder Wagon?

1. Chopping and Mixing System

The core of the TMR mixer wagon is a heavy-duty auger shaft rotating at 23 r/min. Five carbide triangular blades work against fixed knives to cut long straw, hay, and silage into short, digestible pieces. The mixing action ensures uniform distribution of concentrate and additives throughout the roughage.

2. Hydraulic Loading and Discharge

The rear hopper features hydraulic control for easy loading by front loader or manual pitchfork. The discharge gate is also hydraulically operated, allowing the operator to start and stop feed flow instantly while driving along the feed fence.

3. Automatic Weighing System

Four load cells positioned under the hopper connect to an XK3190-A6 digital indicator. The system displays gross weight, net weight, and accumulated weight for each batch. This allows precise formulation according to nutritionist recipes.

4. Self-Propelled Chassis

The three-wheel design (diesel models) or five-wheel design (TZ-5R) provides stable operation on concrete feed alleys and compacted dirt roads. The electric model offers 60 km range per charge, sufficient for a full day of feeding in medium-sized farms.

What Materials Can It Process and Where Is It Used?

The machine processes a wide variety of feed ingredients:

• Silage: Corn silage, grass silage, alfalfa silage
• Hay: Round bales, square bales, loose hay
• Straw: Wheat straw, corn stalks, rice straw
• Concentrates: Corn meal, soybean meal, premixes
• Additives: Minerals, vitamins, molasses

Ideal for:

• Dairy farms with 50–400 cows
• Beef cattle feedlots
• Sheep and goat farms
• Farms without tractor access
• Operations requiring frequent, small-batch feeding

What Are the Main Advantages of This Feeding System?

1. Labor Savings

One self-propelled feed mixer replaces the work of 3–5 workers who would otherwise manually mix and transport feed with wheelbarrows or buckets.

2. Feed Waste Reduction

The weighing system ensures accurate ingredient proportions, preventing over-feeding or under-feeding. Uniform mixing prevents cattle from sorting out favorite ingredients.

3. Flexible Power Options

• Diesel models: Higher torque, unlimited range, suitable for large farms and rough terrain.
• Electric models: Zero emissions, quiet operation, lower running cost for indoor barns.

4. Compact Design

The narrow chassis (1.3–1.7 m width) fits through standard barn doors and tight feed alleys where tractor-pulled mixers cannot operate.

How Does a TMR Mixer Feeder Wagon Work?

The machine operates on a vertical auger mixing principle:

1. Intake: Feed materials enter the hopper through the top opening or rear hydraulic lift.
2. Cutting: The rotating auger (23 r/min) forces material downward. Carbide blades on the auger flight cut against stationary knives, shortening fiber length.
3. Mixing: The spiral design of the auger lifts feed from the bottom to the top while gravity pulls it back down, creating a continuous mixing cycle.
4. Weighing: Load cells measure the weight of ingredients added, displaying real-time data on the XK3190 indicator.
5. Discharge: The mixed ration moves through a belt conveyor or discharge gate, spreading evenly into the feed trough as the wagon moves forward.

Structural highlights:

• Auger: 12 mm thick steel plate for durability
• Hopper bottom: 12 mm reinforced steel to resist wear from abrasive silage
• Bearings: Heavy-duty F210 bearings (4 pcs) support the auger shaft
• Blades: Carbide triangular blades (5 pcs) plus 6 auxiliary small blades for complete cutting

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the machine handle wet silage and dry hay in the same batch?

Yes. The auger system is designed to cut and blend both wet and dry ingredients. For best results, load wet silage first, then add dry hay or straw

How accurate is the weighing system?

The four load cells provide accuracy within ±1% of the displayed weight. This is sufficient for daily TMR formulation.

What is the typical blade life?

Carbide triangular blades last longer than standard steel. Most users get 500–800 hours before resharpening or replacement, depending on feed type.

Can I use the machine to feed sheep or goats?

Yes. Adjust the discharge height and spreading width to match the feed fence. The machine works for cattle, sheep, and goats.

How long does the battery last on the electric model?

A full charge provides 6–8 hours of mixing operation or about 60 km of driving without load. Charging takes 6–8 hours with 220V power.

Is the machine difficult to drive?

No. The controls are simple: one lever for forward/reverse, one for auger speed, and one for discharge. Most operators learn within one day.

What spare parts should I keep?

Keep spare blades, bearings, hydraulic hoses, and conveyor belts. For electric models, keep a spare battery charger.

Can the machine work on uneven ground?

The three-wheel or five-wheel chassis is stable on firm, level ground. Avoid steep slopes and soft mud. The diesel model has better traction on rough terrain.
