Abstract
A hay feed wall extends longitudinally of the mixer chamber with its lower edge closely adjacent to a chopper auger. A control wall extends laterally from a chamber side wall over the chopper auger to the feed wall to cause hay bales to be channeled into the chopper auger whereupon the hay is chopped by the knives on the outer peripheral edge of the auger flighting. The hay is then augered out of the chopping chamber into the mixing chamber where it is acted upon by a lower mixing auger and a rotor in the main chamber. The lower corner of the feed wall engages the lower portion of the control wall to pivot the control wall to a substantially vertical position as the feed wall is pivoted to that position by opertion of a cable connected to a winch.
