The K385070 Bale Slicer is a great product for farmers that are wanting to shorten hay particle length within the same amount of mixing time. This product is used for cutting livestock rations into smaller particles which helps with feeding. Included in the kit is the K385024BIT replacement knife & K385024BITBK bolt kit to mount on the bale slicer weldment. You will need to purchase the K385062BK bolt kit separately as it is needed to mount the bale slicer between the knife and the auger. If you are installing on a Patz® wagon you will need to use K385021BK bolt kit. For optimum performance, use the K385018HP mixer knife.

*must be used with a knife under it

The bale slicer is installed on top of the knives that are next to the feed restrictor. The placement of the bale slicer is different depending on the brand of wagon you have. For Patz®, Supreme™, Vermeer® and Schuler™ vertical wagons, mount the bale slicers on the second and third knives from the bottom. On Penta™ vertical wagons, these are installed on the second and third triangle knives from the bottom. For Laird™ vertical wagons, mount the bale slicers on the first and third knives from the bottom. For Trioliet® vertical mixers, you must use the flat mixer knives to run the bale slicer on the first and third knives from the bottom. For Valmetal® vertical mixers, mount the bale slicer on the second knife from the bottom.

Kooima Ag is one of the very few companies which continuously tests and looks for ways to improve wear and edge retention on our knives. Being the manufacturer and producing these in our Iowa plant allows us to implement changes and run tests without any delays. Also, having a high density of dairies and feedlots close to our plant allows for year-round testing in a variety of rations.
