“This year will mark 10 years of using a Truckmount self-propelled feed mixer,” Don says. “This is our second one. We’re very happy with the truck’s reliability, the ease of maintenance and just the overall dependability of Trioliet.”
Lawnhurst Farms located in Stanley, New York, is a fourth-generation dairy farm that started back in 1925. They milk about 1,900 cows and raise all the dairy replacements for their farm.
For Don Jensen Jr., it’s essential that everything on the farm runs smoothly and reliably – especially when it comes to feeding the herd.
That’s why Don Jensen Jr. chose a Trioliet Truckmount feed mixer 10 years ago – a decision he hasn’t regretted for a moment. The Truckmount is a feed mixer mounted on a truck chassis and equipped with two vertical augers and hydrostatic drive. This TMR mixer is available in capacities from 20 to 32 m³ (715 to 1,150 cu.ft.) and in two versions: with two side discharge doors or a cross conveyor chain at the front.
“Trioliet’s dependability, serviceability, support behind the mixer makes it an easy choice.”
In daily practice, the Truckmount proves to be not only reliable but also low maintenance. “Overall maintenance is very low,” says Don. “And when parts do need to be maintained and replaced, it’s very straightforward to replace wear parts in the mixer itself.”
“Our local dealer Finger Lakes Dairy is a great partner, just like Mark Worts, who mounted the truck. The communication throughout the whole process was open and seamless. That’s where it all starts, and we couldn’t be happier.”
“When it comes to competition, price is always a factor, but the serviceability and reliability we’ve experienced with our Trioliet mixer … I don’t know how we could ever go to another mixer.”
