Stationary vs. TMR Trailed Feed Mixer: Which Is Right for You?
Both mixer families do the same job, but they serve different farm layouts. Here is a side-by-side comparison to help you decide.
Drive System
Stationary models run on a 220V or 380V electric motor and install at one point on the farm. TMR Trailed models run off the tractor PTO, making them independent of your electrical infrastructure.
Mobility and Setup
A stationary unit stays where it is installed — flat ground and a power connection are all it needs. A TMR trailed unit hitches to a tractor and can move between barn blocks or paddocks, a clear advantage for farms serving multiple locations.
Operating Cost
Stationary models have predictable, generally lower electricity costs. TMR Trailed models cost depends on tractor fuel use and run time — but the mobility gain can more than offset that on spread-out operations.
Making the Call
Choose stationary if you run a single location with solid electrical infrastructure. Choose TMR trailed if you distribute feed across multiple blocks and already have a tractor fleet ready to go.
