What are the operating procedures for a Paddle Wagon Feedbody?
Watch this short video or follow below to learn how to operate a bulk haul feed paddle wagon from Ledwell to optimize unloading capabilities.
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, and Remote control.

Push paddle boom on. Push floor on.
Open the bin closest to the rear – remembering to unload from back to front.

Check the discharge gauge – it should be around 1100 to 1200 PSI.
Check the floor gauge – it should be around 500 to 600 PSI.
Adjust the floor’s flow control to achieve 1100 to 1200 PSI on the discharge gage – the PSI will vary 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 floor off.
