High Performance Mixer Knife - Serrated Inserts

The K385026 mixer knife uses a solid carbide insert edge providing 2-3 times the cutting life of the blade over a standard tungsten-coated steel edge. Additionally, this knife has a more aggressive serrated cutting tooth for better performance even in tough-to-cut material. It features a counter-sunk 3/8" hole. Mounting hardware is available for the different models. MaxiMixer™ uses KMM58 (grade 8 bolts), Supreme™ uses K385024BK (grade 8 bolts), Laird™ uses K385024BK (grade 8 bolts) or if the machine is 2016 or newer uses KCSBK, and Strautmann™ uses K385015BK. Backing plate K385007BP is also available.

The K385026 mixer wagon knife fits Supreme™, MaxiMixer™, Laird™, and Strautmann™ vertical mixer wagons. This knife provides excellent performance for mixing livestock rations, such as those used on dairy farms, feedlots, and beef cattle operations, making it ideal for preparing TMR (Total Mixed Ration). TMR is created by thoroughly mixing various feed ingredients in a mixer wagon, ensuring that all components are evenly distributed for optimal livestock nutrition. 

These are installed using factory settings; no special tools are required. The body of this blade is made from a long-lasting high-wear AR400 material, while this material is proven to be very wear-resistant, it will wear out faster than the carbide inserts. A visual inspection must be made to determine the knife body integrity. If too much body wear is allowed the potential to lose the carbide inserts is increased.

If you're looking to enhance the cutting efficiency of your mixer, we recommend adding a bale slicer, such as the K385070. A bale slicer is designed to help break down large bales quickly and effectively, ensuring that your feed is properly processed and evenly distributed. By integrating a bale slicer into your mixer setup, you can improve mixing consistency, reduce the time spent on processing bulky bales, and achieve a more uniform feed ration for your livestock.
