Aggressive Knife

The K1002 mixer wagon knife fits a Penta™ and a Kirby™ vertical mixer wagon. This knife is used for cutting and mixing livestock rations. This knife features an improved, stronger design. We added ½” to the back of the knife for more rigidity.

The K1002 knife is a more aggressive optional knife that can be installed in the center two positions on the auger to provide more cutting of material. Each knife is made in our Iowa plant using a high-carbon base material with a heavy coating of tungsten carbide fused on. This process allows the blade to self-sharpen as it wears providing a sharp edge throughout the life of the blade.

These are installed using factory settings, no special tools are required. Visually inspect to determine wear, an increased mixing time is a good indicator. Mounting hardware is available: K385002BK (grade 8) - hardware kit when using the knife in K385003 knife location; K385002BK5 (grade 5) - hardware kit when using the knife in K385003 knife location (With the purchase of a corresponding knife); hardware kit (per blade) K385007BK - hardware kit when using the knife in K385007 knife location. Knife Backing Plate available: K1900.

Kooima Ag is one of the very few companies which continuously tests and looks for ways to improve wear and edge retention on our knives. Being the manufacturer and producing these in our Iowa plant allows us to implement changes and run tests without any delays. Also having a high density of dairies and feedlots near our plant allows for year-round testing in a variety of rations.
