Our local John Deere dealer is letting people test out a TMR mixer for a week for those of us that don't have one. Our youngest son is just turning 11 and likes farm simulator and is quite familiar with fancy pieces of equipment we don't have. So I called him over to the barn to see his reaction when he saw the shiny new mixer. First words out of his mouth "SERIOUSLY!!!! You spent MORE MONEY DAD????" Than he said "That's sick!!!" but his first reaction completely caught me off guard and made me laugh pretty hard!

Neighbor had a horizontal, he was happy when that went away and the twin vertical came, has had one many years now. I hear the smaller single vertical aren't quite as good, but might depend ont he brand.....

I wonder if your son might be saying, "That's WAY COOL!"
with the phrase "That's sick... or That's sic".

Not sure how it's spelled - but I've heard it used as a slang expression, similar to older terms like cool, sweet, rad, radical, etc.
 
The mixer makes a great job. We use computer grain stations so I'm only stirring corn and grass silage together with it and still using the conveyor to put the feed in. Unless milk takes a big jump from that alone I doubt it'll be staying but it would be great for grinding bales tossing in corn & ration than putting it out in a drive through feed alley.
 
You will now be able to measure the amount of each silage more accurately, and maybe blend in some by product feed that can lower feed costs.
 
Ya it's a lot of extra time fuel tie up a tractor that I don't need let alone the payment. It makes a really nice job but i think mixing it on the cement with the loader 5 min 2x a day will work good if we're not putting ration in along with it. One guy with this same mixer finished off a 120hp Massey with his and tried out a 2 augger mixer and it gave his 155pto hp new holland a good workout let alone the fuel.
 
Ya I know,definitely lots of benefits to outweigh the cons. If the milk tank starts talking we'll definitely give it some serious consideration.
