Why Trial a Peecon?
✓ Mix rations more consistently
✓ Reduce feed sorting and waste
✓ Make feeding easier and more efficient
✓ Evaluate the benefits on your own farm
| Peecon Mixer Wagon | Silage Wagon | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Job | Chop, mix, and deliver a Total Mixed Ration (TMR) | Chop and haul forage only |
| Feed Consistency | High – Even mix prevents sorting. Every bite is balanced. | Low – Cows sort and eat selectively. Leads to waste and acidosis risk. |
| Feed Waste | 5–10% lower – Consistent particle size means less leftover in the bunk. | Higher – Cows leave stems and less palatable parts. |
| Animal Performance | More stable rumen, better milk yield/liveweight gain, fewer metabolic issues. | Variable intake = variable performance. |
| Labour & Time | One pass: loads, mixes, feeds. Save 30–60 min per feedout. | Multiple passes often needed for mixing/feeding. |
| Fuel & Power Use | Lower per tonne fed due to efficient mixing and delivery in one go. | Higher if you add a separate mixer/feeder. |
| Flexibility | Hire only when needed – calving, weaning, dry periods. No maintenance, no depreciation. | Usually purchased. Sits idle off-season. |
| Best For | Dairy, beef, sheep needing consistent TMR on a budget. | Contractors moving bulk forage, farms with separate mixing systems. |
