GX1117

4.8-m³ (135-bu) capacity

A large capacity means fewer loads to be ground, mixed, and delivered to feeders and bins.

Hammer mill with hammers shown

Hammer mill with door closed

The 53.3-cm (21-in.) hammer mill has 66 thin, four-way reversible steel-alloy hammers that slice the material.

As slicing occurs, a suction fan draws ground feed through the 3871-cm² (600-sq in.) screen area and allows a uniform mix. This mill and hammer design also reduces horsepower requirements.

Power take-off (PTO) drive with banded V-belt

Quick-release pin to disengage mill

The GX1117 is available with a 540-rpm PTO or 1000-rpm PTO. The hammer mill is powered with an eight A-section-banded V-belt for a positive drive.

The drive also features a quick-release pin to disengage the hammer mill.

Twelve hammer mill screens available

Screen storage

Twelve hammer mill screens are available as attachments for the grinder mixer. Sizes range from 3.175 mm to 50.8 mm (0.125 in. to 2 in.).

Screens are stored on the left side of the machine.

Vertical mixing auger

The 35.6-cm (14-in.) vertical mixing auger with a 76.2-cm (30-in.) base is designed to thoroughly mix the ground feed and supplements.

Mixing is accurate and consistent load after load.

Unloading auger extended

Adjustable slip clutch

Unloading auger shutoff door

The 3.7-m (12-ft) hydraulically controlled unloading auger is standard equipment. It has a reach height of 5.8 m (19 ft) at 53 degrees, can rotate 300 degrees, and is controlled from the tractor's operator station.

An adjustable slip clutch for the unloading auger rotation provides protection against impact with a building or bin.

A manually operated, slide-style door opens easily for unloading.

Hydraulic motor and reservoir

Hydraulic hose holder

The self-contained hydraulic system drives all of the feeding attachments and unloading mechanisms. The hydraulic system is supplied by a hydraulic motor with a 39.75-L/min (10.5-gpm) flow. A cyclonic reservoir provides circulation to cool the hydraulic oil.

Two 10.2-cm x 45.7-cm (4-in. x 18-in.) magnets shown

A gravity feed hopper with two heavy-duty, 10.2-cm x 45.7-cm (4-in. x 18-in.) magnets catches metal debris.

Supplement hopper

Ergonomic height for ease of loading

The supplement hopper is located on the left side of the grinder mixer. It is 58.4-cm (23-in.) wide and 45.7-cm (18-in.) long and equipped with a sack cutter. The mouth opening is 88.9 cm (35 in.) above the ground.

0.9-m (3-ft) unloading auger extension

1.8-m (6-ft) unloading auger extension

Unloading auger extensions are available in 0.9-m and 1.8-m (3-ft and 6-ft) lengths and are folded manually.

0.9-m (3-ft) unloading auger extension

Swinging intake auger in the operating position

The 0.9-m (3-ft) folding discharge auger extension kit consists of a 0.9-m (3-ft) length of auger, which is attached on a pivoting mounting bracket to the end of the 3.7-m (12-ft) unloading auger.

The 1.8-m (6-ft) folding discharge auger extension kit consists of a 1.8-m (6-ft) length of auger, which is attached on a pivoting mounting bracket to the end of the 3.7-m (12-ft) unloading auger.

The discharge auger cradle extension kit holds the 0.9-m (3-ft) and 1.8-m (6-ft) auger extension in position for transportation.

NOTE: The folding auger extensions must be folded back and locked in position for transport.

The swinging intake auger has a diameter of 30.5-cm (12 in.) and a length of 2.1-m (7 ft). In the operating position, the intake auger rests on the ground. The height from the ground to the top of the mouth intake flares is 50.8 cm (20 in.). The swinging intake auger is hydraulically driven with a variable-speed control and feeds a variety of grains into the hammer mill.

Kit consists of two fenders

The fenders help protect the grinder mixer from mud and debris during transport.

The field-installed fender kit consists of two fenders, four fender support angles, and attaching hardware. 

Mill screen field conversion kits are used for grinding a variety of sizes and types of grains and shelled and ear corn.

All attachments, their respective sizes, and uses are listed below, and all are for use on the GX1117 Grinder Mixer.

Optional electronic scale shown

Two Digi-Star® electronic scales are available for the GX1117 Series Grinder Mixer.

The Digi-Star EZ2000 electronic scale measures the total weight of material in the mixing chamber.

The Digi-Star EZ3200 electronic scale with an external horn measures the total weight plus the weight of each ingredient added to the mix.
