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.

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.
