Abstract
A fodder mixing wagon including a fodder mixing container equipped with at least one vertical auger above the bottom region, and including an undercarriage having a chassis and ground wheels, is provided with an active adjusting system for adjusting the fodder distribution within the mixing container in at least two opposed directions being substantially parallel to the bottom region, the adjusting system being equipped with at least one sensor arrangement for detecting either the actual fodder weight distribution within and/or the inclination of the mixing container. The adjusting system allows to actuate actuators for adjustable counter blades provided in the mixing container and/or mixing container/slanting devices, respectively.

Fodder mixing wagon (F), comprising a fodder mixing container (1) having a bottom region (B) and at least one vertical conveying auger (2) above the bottom region (B), the bottom region (B) being suspended on the chassis (M) of a ground undercarriage (A) having wheels (9), characterised in that the fodder mixing wagon (F) comprises an active adjusting system (S) for adjusting the fodder distribution within the mixing container (1) in at least two opposed directions substantially parallel to the bottom region (B), the active adjusting system (S) being equipped with at least one sensor arrangement (N, W) for detecting the actual fodder weight distribution within the mixing container (1) and/or the actual inclination of the mixing container (1), respectively, and that actuators (8′, 16, 16′) for adjustable counter blades (8) within the mixing container (1) and/or mixing container slanting devices (V) are actuable by the adjusting system (S).
Fodder mixing wagon (F) comprising a fodder mixing container (1) having a bottom region (B) and at least two vertical conveying augers (2) above the bottom region (B), the fodder mixing container (1) being provided on the chassis (M) of an undercarriage (A) travelling on the ground (G) by wheels (9), characterised by the combination of the following features;
- a) the bottom region (B) is defined by an essentially plane, thin-walled sheet metal bottom (7′) which is stiffened at its lower side at least by enforcing longitudinal beams (38);
- b) the undercarriage (A) is a triaxial or tridem undercarriage;
- c) the bottom region (B) is suspended via supports (P) on the tridem undercarriage (A), preferably via the enforcing beams.
