NEW.. . biggest
feedmaker built!
Gehl leads again. Big, new 115-bu. Mix-All
combines “biggest-of-all” capacity plus GehTs
commercial-quality grind and mix ability. One
demonstration will prove the 115MX can help
you manage more livestock. Here’s why:
• Exclusive hay feeder smoothly feeds bale
slices to the mill.
• 115-bu. mixing tank, plus new 21-in. mill
increase feedmaking capacity.
• 66 thin cutting hammers more per sq. ft.
of screen area than other mills,
• Grinds high-moisture corn and delivers
directly to the silo.
• 10-foot, high pivot (46") auger unloads feed
where you need it.
These and many other features put the giant
115MX way ahead of competition. More farm
ers 30,000 of them own Mix-Alls than any
other make.
Make us Prove it with a Demonstration!
