The V-Mix Drive Maximus Plus 2S is a new compact four-cylinder twin vertical auger feeder from the German manufacturer. Launched at last week’s EuroTier livestock machinery show, it is available in tub capacities of 19 and 21m³.
Combining the base from the current single auger (11-17m³) four-cyl machines with the tub from the six-pot twin auger models (19-23m³), the capacities of the latest models are similar to the existing twin auger machines, but power comes from a smaller engine. The four-cyl 174hp FPT block sips less fuel and the two new models are priced somewhere in the middle of the current four- and six-pot versions.
New options for the V-Mix Drive Maximus Plus 2S include additional storage capacity and loading functions, an additional LED unit over the cab, and a 360-degree camera system.
