ARMSTRONG, Iowa, March 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Art's Way
Manufacturing Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: ARTW), a diversified,
international manufacturer and distributor of equipment serving
agricultural, research, water treatment and steel cutting needs,
continued its leading position in the marketplace with the
introduction of the 6140 Grinder Mixer at the 2015 National Farm
Machinery Show in Louisville, KY. Hot off the
production line the 6140 Grinder Mixer, equipped with a 140 bushel
tank, provides the producer an excellent option for grinding and
blending feed rations. Not only does the 6140 model have an
extra-large capacity tank, it features 72 hardened 4-way reversible
hammers for a high speed, consistent and uniform grind. The 20 inch
hammermill operates using 540 RPM PTO drive powered by 50-120 HP
tractors.
The self-contained hydraulics provide smooth operation and
maximum power to the auger feeder and the unload auger. A large 36
gallon oil reservoir dissipates heat, decreasing fluid temperatures
while maximizing tractor horsepower. The tractor hydraulics
provide lift and swing the unloading auger into place for feed
discharge. With a standing reach at 60 degrees and a minimum height
of 16 ft., the unloading auger can easily fill storage bins.
Brian Rawson, Director of Sales
for Art's Way Manufacturing, commented on the addition of the 6140
Grinder Mixer to their product line: "Producers were looking for an
option to grind and mix feed in a larger capacity tank than the
6105 model, and still have the hydraulic power system of the top of
the line Art's Way 6530 Grinder Mixer. This unit provides an
excellent option – a perfect combination of power and
capacity."
Adding an ingredient using the supplement hopper allows the
producer to create a custom feed ration tailored to their livestock
growth and nutrition needs.
Art's Way Manufacturing continues to provide the quality and
exceptional performance with the 6140 Grinder Mixer that it has
since inventing the Grinder Mixer in 1956.
