I'm sure you will get that feed wagon working properly. Just need to find the right combination. Thanks for the video.

[@megd7593]

A bonus to taking some knives off of your auger for mixing is now you have extras! Thanks for bringing us along as you learn!

[@TwinElmFarms]

Yep

[@duncanmcleish3683]

Hi . Glad the mixer is working better for you guys, glad you bought Canadian. 👋🐂

[@LorneFunk]

Great job you Manitoba farm boys. 🐂

[@straightpipeacres6365]

Man why wouldn't they sell them mixers with a extension. Always have to have extras to cost a guy more money lol

[@leighpurdon9378]

Glad to see it's working

[@TwinElmFarms]

Yep I hear ya,

[@straightpipeacres6365]

@TwinElmFarms sure looks like a good way to grind up them silage bales tho. Are you gonna try and get away from chopping then or what's the plan. I run my silage bales through my processor at the moment but a mixer grinder wagon looks like the way to go in the future for me

[@TwinElmFarms]

@@straightpipeacres6365 we have to do done figuring out the best and cheapest way to feed, so I'm not sure what we will do next year. This really opens up our options.

[@straightpipeacres6365]

@TwinElmFarms 👌

[@kenperron9260]

Am thinking about a tmr myself but running two tractors and buying tmr besides i can see your undecided

[@harveypenner2386]

Excellent!!

[@sambecker7826]

Have you tried leaving it in a row, we get along quite well that way,

[@mevinson]

Looks like you've found a better way to save on the amount of loss and the amount of feed that fattens the herd better! Fatter is always better is what I tell everyone Lol!

[@ryanbachman9227]

Put the first bale in then the corn silage then the second bale. Im no expert on it at all

[@jillhiles143]

Question why did you do a long line instead of maybe doing a gigantic Circle?

[@TwinElmFarms]

I'll explain in up coming video

[@rogerembry4777]

The ones with the horizontal auger that I’ve seen look like they work better

[@TwinElmFarms]

We had trouble with plugging long straw on our horizontal wagon, plus it does not cut up the long straw that the cows will pick out and not eat.

[@selky_smooth]

So did you buy the mixer to get away from tub grinding or is that still an option if you don't like the quality of mix the highline gives you?

[@TwinElmFarms]

We have never run a tub grinder. But I believe the tmr is more of an all in one step.

[@ConnieThompson-f9m]

Where will you have the cows come calving time?? In the past you took them into the barn... is this the plan for this year also or ???

[@TwinElmFarms]

We will walk them home around Christmas time. Figure they can keep the manure out in the field plus they get more exercise which creates muscles to help with calving.

[@r3hilltop_ranch]

I don't own a vertical mixer, but it appears that those augers are much taller (and take up a lot more space) than other brands, or maybe the sidewalls are much shorter. Is Highline a new brand?

[@TwinElmFarms]

Yes highline is new to TMR's within the list couple years. Yes the augers are higher and the side walls are lower. Positives and negatives for sure

[@r3hilltop_ranch]

@@TwinElmFarms If you can get it to work the way you want that'd be a positive.

[@rogerembry4777]

Do you think it would help to cut the wrap off before you put it in

[@wallyyuriy8912]

They are cutting it all off.

[@TwinElmFarms]

Yes we take all the wrap off

[@wallyyuriy8912]

I lose 1 or 2 a year from slipping theirs calves as well. Way she goes

[@beefy1429]

Some terrible looking brown hay

[@TwinElmFarms]

It's baliage, very sweet and our nutritionist results were amidst good enough that we didn't have to add anything to the ration. It needed a little bit of energy so we add a little bit of corn silage.
