GENERAL OPERATION
1. Keep machine in level position if possible when
grinding and mixing.
2. Keep all guards and shields in place during operation.
3. Maintain proper tire pressure of 36 pounds.
4. Keep entire unit properly lubricated.
5. Keep Unloading Conveyor in rest position for
transportation.
6. Keep Mixer Cover in position.
7. Keep all chains and belts in proper operating tension.
B. Maintain PTO speed at required RPM under load,
especially when grinding heavy materials or when
using a small screen. Mill speed should be 2700
RPM when Tractor speed is 540 RPM. When grinding and blowing into a silo, 00 NOT allow Mill
speed to drop below 2400 RPM or exceed 3000
RPM.
CAPACITY
Weather conditions affect grinding capacity considerably. This is due mostly to the amount of moisture
in the grain. Dry grain naturally grinds much easier
than damp. New grain, particularly oats, usually has
high moisture content and consequently is harder to
grind. Another factor affecting the rate of grinding
is the weight. Light grains grind harder than heavy
- especially in proportion to weight.
If the machine is too heavily crowded it will actually
grind slower than if fed at the correct rate. Over
feeding slows down the speed. Both capacity and uniform ityare dependent upon proper speed being maintained. Proper feeding comes with experience.
7
115 MX - OPERATION
SCREENS
Fineness of grinding is due to Mill
speed and size of screen. Capacity
of the Mill with the same power is
directly in proportion to fineness of
grinding, thus the finer the grinding, the lower the capacity. When
ear corn is ground thru a screen of
less than 3/8" mesh, capacity is
materially reduced due to the firm,
tough pieces of cob which do not
pulverize readily. It will be noted
that when using a 3/8" screen if any
objectionable coarseness occurs, it
is in the cob.
GET THE MOST OUT OF EVERY FEED WITH CORRECT GRIND
Screens on the Gehl are easily and quickly changed te, accommodate every type of feed or roughage
to any fineness you want. Here are the actual size illustrations of various feeds ground in Gehl Mills.

Notice the absence of thread like fiber and the uniform
quali[}' in the actual illustrations above. Grinding of
roughage enables the animal to utilize the entire plant
---cattle cannot sort out and reject the tougher parts.
It is also useful for lightening the concentrate mIXture.
For cattle, roughage such as·com stalks, c.orn cobs,
alfalfa, soy beans, SWeet clover, etc., shOUld be
ground fine enough to produce good mixing. Coarse
grinding will cause binding in the mixing and discharge systems. Experienc~'will tell what size screen
should be used for best results.
SCREEN CARRIER
The Screen Carrier, located on left
side of the Mixer Frame, provides
storage for extra Screens. Slide Screens through the
Screen Carrier brackets until they rest against stops
on outside of the Screen Carriers.
For poultry and hog feed, however, it should be run
through the finer screens, such as the l/S". Corn for
cattle feeding should be coarse like the 1~" screen-if fed with other grains, a 3/8" or 1/4" screen should.
be used. Oats for cattle feed calls for a 1/4" or 3/16"
screen, for hog feed l/S" screen, for chick mash
1/16". These are "general recommendations". Individual requirements might vary somewhat according to
the ideas of the operator. The general tendency on
the part of most farmers is to grind too fine. Fineness
of grinding for any screen may also vary somewhat
according to the temperature and moisture coment of
the feed.
IMPORTANT

WHEN THE SCREEN COVER IS OPEN.
must be 14 inches. For 1000 RPM Tractors, this
dimension must be 16 inches.
It is equally important that Drawbar to Tractor PTO
Shaft dimensions are correct. For Tractors having
PTO speed of 540 RPM, Hitch point of the Drawbar
must be at least 6 inches but not more than 15 inches
below the Tractor PTO Shaft.
For Tractors having PTO speed of 1000 RPM, Hitch
point of the Drawbar must be at least 6 inches but not
more than 12 inches below the Tractor PTO Shaft.
Correct Tractor Drawbar when necessary.
Keep the Tractor PTO Shaft lined up with the Mixer
Drawbar. DO NOT operate at severe angles as this
will increase the possibility of damage to the Universal Drive.
HITCH JACK
The Hitch Jack is provided for ease of Tractor hookup and also serves as a handy stand when the machine
is unhooked from the Tractor.
Turn handle to raise or lower Mixer Drawbar Hitch.
Release positioning pin to swing Jack "up" or "down",
IMPORTANT
ALWAYS LOCK JACK IN "UP" POSITION
FOR ROAD OR FIELD TRAVEL.
TRACTOR CONNECTION
Maintain standard Tractor hook-up. It is very important that PTO Shaft to Hitch point dimensions are
correct. For 540 RPM Tractors, this dimension

115 MX - OPERATION
CAUTION
BEFORE STARTING THE TRACTOR ENGINE, BE SURE MIXER P.T.O. SHIELDS
TURN FREELY.
When the Mixer-Mill Universal Drive is disengaged,
place Universal Joint over the Universal Drive Rest.
When starting the Mill Drive, engage the PTO Lever
at slow Tractor idling speed. Advance PTO to rated
load speed of either 540 or 1000 RPM.
GRINDING OPERATION
When grinding small grains and mill is equipped with
gravity feeder, start with a small Shutter opening.
Increase size of opening slowly until it is noticed that
Tractor is operating at -rated PTO speed.
MILL DRIVE
The Clutch incorporated in the Mill Drive Sheave allows the Mill and Mixer to be operated together or
the Mixer to be operated independently from the Hammer Mill. Rotate the Shifter Pin to engage or disengage the Mill Drive. When engaging the Mill Drive,
turn the Drive Sheave by hand until the Shifter Pin
engages one of the Drive Hub holes.
The Hammer Mill will operate most efficiently if the
material being ground is fed into the Mill in a steady
stream. Uneven feeding allows the Hammer Mill to
run empty at times and over-loaded at other times.
CAUTION
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ENGAGE THE
SHIFTER PIN WHILE THE PTO DRIVE
SHAFT IS IN MOTION.
When the Shifter Pin is disengaged, be sure the Clutch
Lift Pin engages groove at top of the cam.
IMPORTANT
IF MILL OR BLOWER BECOME PLUGGED, BE SURE CYLINDER, CONVEYOR,
BLOWER INLET AND BLOWER FAN ARE
CLEANED BEFORE TRACTOR PTO IS
ENGAGED. ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE
MILL WHILE PLUGGED WILL RESULT IN
SERIOUS DAMAGE TO DRIVE PARTS.
IMPORTANT
KEEP MIXER TANK INTERIOR CLEAN
AND FREE OF RUST AND CORROSION.
TO CLEAN THE MIXER TANK, FEED
APPROXIMATELY 10 OR 12 BUSHELS
OF SHELLED CORN THROUGH THE CONCENTRATE HOPPER INTO THE MIXER
TANK. ALLOW CORN TO AGITATE FOR
TEN MINUTES OR LONGER TO CLEAN
TANK.

115 MX - OPERATION
NOTICE
IMPORTANT
BEFORE FILLING THE MIXER TANK, BE
SURE THE DISCHARGE FEED SLIDE IS
CLOSED.
TAKE NOTE OF CALIBRATED SETTINGS
AT TANK WINDOWS AND FEED POUND
CHART DECAL.
To check ground material from the Mill for fineness
and uniformity of grind, slide Inspection Door on Inlet Pipe open and catch small amount with hand.
Always keep the Mixer Cover Lid in position. The
Cover Lid Spring allows the Cover Lid to raise and
let feed over-flow if the tank is accidentally overloaded~
After grinding, stop the Tractor and disengage the
Hammer Mill Drive Sheave. Start Tractor again and
allow the Mixer to continue operating for a few minutes to thoroughly mix the ground feed.
NOTICE
MIXING OPERATION'
For best mixing, grind heavy feeds first. NEVER
GRIND HAY FIRST. Light weight materials do not
mix as readily if ground first. Grind hay after grinding heavy material.
When heavy feeds are high in moisture content, the
wet, heavy material should be mixed into light, dry
feed to absorb the moisture. Material with too high
moisture content can cause a serious packing problem
and result in poor mixing.
When grinding hay and ear corn with husks, grind 200
pounds of corn and then a bale of hay. This will prevent bridging in the Mixer Tank.
WHEN TRANSPORTING A LOADED MIXER,
DISENGAGE THE HAMMER MILL, BUT
CONTINUE THE MIXING OPERATION TO
PREVENT SETTLING AND PACKING OF
THE MATERIAL. AVOID SHARP TURNS
AS SEVERE ANGLES ON THE UNIVERSAL
DRIVE WILL INCREASE THE POSSIBILITIES OF DAMAGE.
CONCENTRATE HOPPER
Add concentrates and supplements through the Concentrate Hopper. Concentrates or feed supplements
should be added at the beginning of the mixing operation to allow enough time for thorough mixing with
the ground feed. .
Follow steps below when adding concentrates through
the Concentrate Hopper.
1. To hold the Concentrate Hopper Cover open, fasten
with Catch (hook) located on the Mixer Tank.
Liquids, such as molasses, should be added only ilfter
the Mixer is at least half full. A liquid Molasses attachment is available as an accessory.
Watch action of the ground feed through the Mixer Tank
Windows. When the top window is covered, discontinue feeding into the Hammer Mill. When all material remaining in the grinding chamber has been
ground, the Mixer is full.
NOTE
BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERLOAD THE
MIXER. THIS WILL CAUSE FEED TO
PACK AND OVERLOAD THE MIXING AND
D.RIVE MECHANISMS.

115 MX - OPERATION
2. Always keep Bag Guard, located in Hopper, in
place.
3. DO NOT pour any liquids, such as molasses, into
the hopper.
NOTE
WHEN ADDING MICRO-INGREDIENTS TO
THE FEED, BEST RESULTS ARE OBTAINED WITH A PRE-MIX. IF THE MICROINGREDIENTS ARE DESIRED WITHOUT A
PRE-MIX OR OTHER SUPPLEMENT, REMOVE THE LID FROM THE TOP OF THE
MIXING TANK AND POUR THE INGREDIENTS DIRECTLY INTO THE TANK. BE
SURE TO REPLACE THE LID BEFORE
CONTINUING THE OPERATION.
UNLOADING OPERATION
To unload the Mixer Tank, disengage the Conveyor
Hold-down Hook and position the Conveyor in required
unloading position.

Turn the Variable Speed Crank to maintain proper
Tractor PTO speed and even flow of material into the
Mill when using each speed range. When feeding thick
or wet bale Slices, use "Low" speed range and low
variable speed setting to prevent excess Hay Feeder
noise and vibration. For thin or dry bale slices,
Roller speed can be increased as long as operation is
smooth and quiet.
HOW TO FEED BALE' SLICES
Bale slices of no more than 4 inches in thickness feed
into the Hay Feeder best. Break slices off bales and
feed into the Rollers in a steady stream for best Mill
performance.
Be certain Pin-back Rods are secured with cotter
pins after pinning Hammers back and before putting
the Millin operation.
SAFETY BAR
The Safety Bar is provided to stop the Hay Feeder
Rollers in case of emergency. Push Safety Bar "In"
