For daily feeding operations on small and medium-sized farms, many farmers face common challenges: limited space with no supporting loader, labor-intensive manual feeding; unevenly mixed feed leading to cattle and sheep feed selectivity, which directly affects feed intake and rumen health. Operating with multiple machines brings high procurement costs and tedious repeated feed transfer. For mountain farms and barns with narrow aisles, large trailed TMR machines have difficulty turning and entering the working area. Frequent breakdowns and hard-to-source spare parts cause unexpected downtime and seriously hurt farm efficiency and profits.
To address these pain points of small and medium-sized and mountain farms, Qingdao Jiaojie Machinery developed the integrated self-propelled TMR total mixed ration mixer. This machine integrates feeding, weighing, mixing and discharging functions to realize one-stop feeding for farms. All core power, transmission and structural components adopt well-known mature brand parts, featuring low failure rates and universal, easily-purchased spare parts. It reduces downtime and maintenance fundamentally, and efficiently solves the full-range feeding challenges of farms.

We provide a one-year warranty for the whole machine, stock original spare parts long-term, and offer remote installation, operation and maintenance training after delivery, delivering reliable equipment and technical support for global customers.
This self-propelled TMR mixer is available with customized capacities from 3 to 5 cubic meters. It adopts the original Wuzheng three-wheel chassis, which has been verified for years on complex farmland and farm road conditions and proven reliable. It features double-layer reinforced frame beams and heavy-duty reinforced rear axle with strong load capacity, anti-torsion and anti-shock performance and small turning radius. It can easily travel through barns and narrow aisles and operate smoothly even on mountain and sloped farms. The machine is equipped with a Changchai 28 HP diesel engine, which enjoys a large market share in agricultural machinery with widely available spare parts and convenient maintenance. The engine delivers sufficient power reserve, low speed and high torque, maintaining stable power during heavy-load forage mixing. It performs well in cold start, even smoothly starting in low temperatures in autumn and winter. It has good fuel economy to cut long-term fuel costs for farms. Fitted with a desert air filter, it effectively blocks farm dust to protect the engine and extend its service life. The whole vehicle is equipped with a vacuum booster brake system for sensitive braking, ensuring safer low-speed operation inside barns and preventing brake failure risks during heavy-load discharging.
The tank is made of Q355B high-strength low-alloy steel plate, with a 12 mm thick bottom plate and 6 mm side plates. Compared with ordinary steel plates, it has stronger impact resistance, wear resistance and deformation resistance, and is not easy to deform or crack under long-term friction and impact from forage. The auger is made of 12 mm Q355 steel plate and adopts a tapered variable-pitch spiral auger. Materials flip up and down faster, and a full tank of feed can be mixed within 10 minutes with high mixing uniformity. The auger is fitted with tungsten carbide coated blades in a combination of 5 large blades and 2 small blades. The blades are surface hardened with high hardness, capable of easily chopping silage, long straw and hay bales. Their service life is far longer than ordinary manganese steel blades, lowering the cost of frequent blade replacement.
The mixing transmission system uses a Jiangling brand reducer with high torque and low noise. Its stable gear transmission and strong impact resistance make it less prone to damage under continuous heavy-load mixing conditions. It is a mature and reliable transmission solution in the TMR mixer industry. The weighing system has 4 high-precision weighing sensors arranged in four points to resist eccentric load. It ensures stable measurement even on bumpy farm ground. Operators can read real-time weight directly in the cab for accurate and stable ration batching. It guarantees balanced nutrition for each batch of feed, avoids selective feeding by livestock, improves feed utilization rate and protects animal health.
The machine is equipped with an independent hydraulic system. The hydraulic valve groups and oil pipes adopt mature industry brand parts. The hydraulic power output is stable, smoothly controlling the movement of the feeding bucket and discharge conveyor with reliable sealing and low risk of oil leakage. An external radiator is optional. It dissipates heat for the engine and hydraulic system during continuous operation in hot summer, preventing machine shutdown caused by long time continuous work.
We have developed multiple models for different farm working conditions for customers to select:
1. Basic model: simple structure with high cost performance, manual feeding and spreading, suitable for ordinary farmers to meet basic daily feeding demands.
2. Oil-electric hybrid and oil-promotion versions: balance power and operating cost, fit farms with different power supply conditions.
3. Model with hydraulic feeding bucket: the bucket can hold materials with automatic hydraulic feeding, no loader required. Small farms without loaders can finish feeding independently, greatly reducing labor intensity and saving the cost of purchasing extra loaders.
4. Model with discharge conveyor: it can deliver mixed feed to high troughs with uniform and controllable discharging and stable smooth material output.
5. Top configuration version integrating hydraulic feeding bucket + discharge conveyor: feeding, weighing, mixing and discharging are all integrated in one machine, eliminating secondary feed transfer and maximizing work efficiency. Small and medium-sized farms do not need to purchase extra loaders or separate spreading machines. A single machine can complete the whole TMR feeding workflow.
The equipment operation design is tailored to farm workers. It is fitted with a fully enclosed cab, optional cooling and heating system for comfortable operation in summer and winter. The traveling gearbox adapts to low-speed operation inside the farm. Key electric start design enables easy operation. Independent hydraulic control levers operate the feeding bucket and discharge conveyor. Together with the mixing speed locking device, it ensures stable TMR feed mixing quality. The hydraulic quick discharge gate opens and closes efficiently for smooth discharging.
