The image shown above does not have a bale handler fitted, which is standard on Australian machines.
The largest paddle diet feeder in the KEENAN range, the KEENAN MechFiber400 sets new standards for mixing. Its heavy duty four chain drive system allows for high work rates, durability and trouble-free operation. The heavy duty chassis with spring mounted drawbar is designed to improve weight transference and stability when driving.
Machine Features
- Bale Handler fitted as standard (not shown in image above) to ensure fast, even and consistent intake of round and square bales, of all forage types
- Industrial strength magnets are fitted as standard onto the feed out tray, to help catch metal debris which may exit in the feed
- The KEENAN Controller with InTouch technology allows farmers to easily measure, monitor and manage feed accuracy, herd performance, feed costs, dry matter intake and refusals
- 50mm camlock fitting allows any liquid supplement to be easily added to the ration
- Wide angled PTO gives flexibility with the operation of the machine during loading and feeding out in the paddock
- Four chain drive system for high work rates
- Fitted with an oil bath driveline to improve chain life longevity
- Central greasing point for all front bearings from one location
- Machine can be customised as per specific dimensions request
- Produces the patented MechFiber ration for improved herd performance
- Range of feed discharge options, suited for feeding into high troughs
- Built as either a trailed or stationary unit

Other key benefits include:
- Fresh new look with specially moulded black pin seal matt finish front covers.
- Rear ladder made of sleek tubular steel – user-friendly, collapsible and less prone to damage.
- Mixing chamber containing 6-paddle reel with new style paddle castellations – improved mix quality, less horsepower required, less machine wear.
- The paddles gently lift & tumble the added materials across the blades ensuring feedstuff is cut to an optimal length without destroying the quality of the fibre. This is to create a mix with the correct chop length & structure for optimum rumen health – improved herd health and productivity.
- Option to add lights over feed-out door and increase the length of the feed-out door – easy to see when ambient lighting is low and quicker feed-out.
- 4th Generation KEENAN Controller, feed management App and InTouch platform for full oversight of the mixing process and all farm data – see ingredient list and order, monitor costs, refusals etc.
- Option of key telematics on Controller – oil sensors, chain tension sensor etc. – helps to maintain machine in good working order
