Are Penta Mixers good?

Penta vertical mixers give dairy and beef operators a feed mix that stays uniform from first scoop to last bite. Wakarusa Ag backs every blue wagon with in-stock parts, quick service calls, and real-world ration advice. If you’re serious about feed efficiency, here’s what our team—and Penta—can do for you.

Why Consistent Mixing Matters to Your Bottom Line

  • Even nutrient intake
    Cows stop sorting. Milk fat holds steady. Beef gain speeds up.
  • Lower refusals
    Uniform chop means less bunk waste, trimming feed cost per head.
  • Tighter ration control
    On-board scales link to feed software, so target and actual weights match.

How Penta Delivers a Better Mix

Twin and triple augers move feed, not air
Augers lift and fold forage in slow curtains, blending minerals through every mouthful.

Steep-wall tubs keep material flowing
Even sticky baleage slides to the knives—no bridging, no dead pockets.

Weight sits low on the frame
Power goes into cutting hay, not spinning empty steel. Many farms pull a bigger Penta with their current tractor.

  • Growing dairies step up in size without trading tractors.
  • Beef yards use side and rear doors to fill multiple bunks fast.
  • Custom feeders spec triple augers today and add a truck mount later.

Service That Keeps You Feeding

  • Parts trailer stocked with knives, slides, bearings, and scale heads.
  • Mobile techs handle gearbox oil, door adjustments, and knife swaps on-site.
  • Two-day delivery on gearboxes and auger shafts from the Midwest hub.
  • Loaner mixer available during large repairs—your herd never skips a ration.

Proof in the Feed Lane

Straight Answers Before You Buy

Will wet hay bridge?
Steep sides and flighted augers keep material tumbling. Drop knives one hole for extra bite.

Do triple augers guzzle horsepower?
Only at start-up. Once loaded, torque spreads over three gearboxes.

Can I log feed data automatically?
Yes. Add our Wi-Fi module and every load posts to your feed-management app in real time.

What about long-term wear?
¾-inch AR-steel floors last 8 000 tons. Carbide-strip knives average 700 hours before flipping.
