FEED TRAILER FAQS
Auger Bulk Feed Equipment
How do I operate an Auger feedbody or feed trailer?
Operating your Ledwell Bulk Feed Equipment correctly is vital to extend the life of your Auger feed equipment. Watch this operational series video or follow the steps below.
To get started, walk around the entire trailer to inspect the following:
Overhead and ground obstructions, Hydraulic Valves in the neutral position, Hydraulic and Air Hoses, Lights, Wheels and Tires, Remote control.
TO LOAD:
Pull up to the mill and position as needed.
Check that your bottom doors are closed.
Open the top doors Fill the bins of the trailer.
TO UNLOAD:
Engage the PTO Push raise and out on the remote to move the discharge boom away from the trailer.
Use the remote control to position the discharge over the silo.
Push discharge on Push floor on Open the bin closest to the rear – remembering to unload from back to front.
Leave each door open as you move forward.
Check the discharge gauge – it should be around 1400 PSI for 9x9x9 or 1900 – 2000 for 12x12x12.
Check the floor gauge – the PSI should be around 1000 to 1500 for an Auger system – the PSI will depend on which bay you are pulling from.
Adjust flow control on the floor to achieve 1400 PSI on the discharge gauge – the PSI will vary depending on feed type.
As the bin empties, the pressure will drop on gauges – this is how you will know to open the next bin.
Once all bins are empty, Push the floor off.
Push discharge off.
Push lower and in to place the discharge boom back in the saddle.
Make sure to close all bottom doors.
