PATZ 950 — built for big feeding days, made to feel simpler

There’s a certain kind of feeding day we see all over Australia.

It starts early. Someone’s already thinking about tomorrow’s ration while today’s is still being fed out. The weather’s doing what it likes. Staff are juggling a dozen moving parts. And if one piece of gear slows down, the whole day stretches out.

That’s the reality the PATZ 950 vertical twin-screw mixer is built for.

It’s a high-capacity machine, allowing for 31.1 m³ of TMR, with rubber extensions to protect against those accidental close calls. Designed to assist larger dairies, feedlots, and mixed operations keep feeding consistent—without the mixer becoming the job. Asking for some serious tractor power of 145+ PTO HP, shows how it’s built to handle serious volumes and real-world ingredients.

If you’re still weighing up sizes and setups, our Feed Mixer Sales & Hire hub is a good place to start.

Where the 950 earns its place

1) A more uniform mix, especially when the day gets chaotic
The PATZ 950 is built around twin vertical screws with Vortex® tops, aimed at keeping feed moving through the tub and reducing dead spots. In plain terms: a ration that looks and feeds consistently right through to the finish — whether you’re mixing silage, grain, cotton seed, by-products, or working through hay and straw bales. (If you want the broader “why TMR mixers work” view, this article is handy: TMR Mixers: Unleash Peak Livestock Performance.)

2) Throughput without the rush
When you’re feeding at scale, minutes matter. PATZ provide fast discharge and superior cleanout, and that cleanout piece is bigger than it sounds—less carryover means you’re closer to the ration you want to achieve not a “blend of yesterday and today.”
(Planning a feed truck setup? You can also look at the Patz 950 truck mount option.)

3) Built heavy where it counts
DOM’s listing highlights the 950’s heavy tub construction and driveline approach (including a single-drive planetary gearbox concept). The point isn’t to brag—it’s to help you avoid the cycle of “make it do” repairs when the season is already demanding enough.

4) Set up to suit your yards, not a brochure
Every operation feeds out differently. Doors, conveyors, elevators, knife packages, and other options, mean the 950 can be configured to suit your needs. Whether this be into bunks, troughs, lanes, or shed clearances—so your feeding routine stays smooth and consistent.

Who it’s for

If you’re running a larger dairy, feedlot, or mixed operation and your focus is reliability, labour efficiency, and animal consistency, the 950 is the kind of mixer that can quietly make the day easier, load after load.

Clear next step

Thinking about whether a 950 would suit your operation? A quick batch and feed-out fit check with our team can’t hurt.

We’ll ask about:

  • Amount of cattle on feed

  • Ideal loads per day

  • What’s going into your ration (hay bales, silage, cotton seed, etc)

  • Your tractor PTO horsepower

  • What your dream feed out option is

From here, we can confirm whether the 950 is the right size, and what configuration will suit your operation so you’re not “making it work” after delivery.
