Sunnyside, WA | Not sure of your location, but Trioliet has made quite a push in this area the last 5 years. I was running a different brand of 1100 cuft mixers with my 165 hp tractors and tried out a 1400 cuft Trioliet. Only vertical mixer I have ever seen with no dead spots and it actually mixes horizontally as well as vertically. Put some apples in the back of the triple screw and they were all the way to the front auger in less than 30 seconds. I also tracked fuel usage and went from 4.8 gph on the Loewen mixers making 25,000 to 28,000 lb loads down to 4.25 gph on the Trioliet making 37,000 to 40,000 lb loads. JD 8110 and 8200's on the front. 8110 used to struggle with a 28,000 lb load in high on a Loewen, now it can make 40,000 lb loads much easier on the Trioliet because of the shiftronic gearbox. Had some trouble with the running gear on both the 3600 and 4000, but Trioliet came in and put brand new walking beams under them and extended the warranty. Just traded the 3600 in for another 4000 and plan to keep the other 4000 for a total of 8 years. | |

Best vertical mixer?
