Looking to see if anyone has ever used a 60hp tractor or under to pull a feeder mixer what mixer was it, and what was your experience.
A single screw can make a 4020 sit up and beg depending on how tight the bales are you throw in it. Just mixing doesn't take much, but grinding hay does.A vertical doesn't take much power to mix

Still not sure which type of mixer the OP is asking about.
We've got a 3020 at work that has been married to a Gehl 125 grinder/mixer since before I was born. It's probably ground a 100,000 plus tons of feed.
This is one the neighbor had. It is not a very big vertical mixer. You will note that the tractor is a lot bigger than 60 hp. Let off the throttle even on
a slight down hill and it would try to pass you.

Yes I'm looking at a tmrAre you talking about a TMR machine or are you talking about a grinder/mixer? The smallest Patz TMR/feed mixer model lists 55-65 HP needed (https://patzcorp.com/products/agric...cal-mixers-2/trailer/800-series-single-screw/)
I have a Kuhn Little Auggie TMR that does a great job on little batches. It doesn't grind roughage just mixes. So no hay. You could probably run it with 50hp if you didn't try starting it fullI was specifically looking at the jaylor mini mixers. I'm currently doing a half load of steers at a time but want to do 1 maybe 2 full load at a time eventually. I already have the tractor and am looking at something to go with it. I currently feed a gluten, corn/ barley mix, Gin trash, and some hay mix that a friend puts into silage wagon for me.
