A mixer spends a lot of its day on the road. Farm lanes, yard crossings, sometimes a public road between sites. Every pothole and hard bump is felt by the frame, the axle, the load cells, and the feed. Mixer road alerts in LEO My Farm bring those moments into the record, so the office sees what the cab felt.
What the phone notices on the road
The LEO Agriculture app, on iPhone or Android, rides in the cab during every load. While it is weighing, it also notices what the machine goes through on the road:
- Bumps.
- Potholes.
- Rough road.
- Big impacts.
Each warning is tied to a time and a spot on the mixer’s GPS trail.
Road warnings on the map trail
On the LEO My Farm website, road warnings show on the GPS trail of the load. Open the map, road or satellite view, and you see where each warning happened.
That makes the warning useful. “A big impact on Tuesday” is hard to act on. “A big impact at the same culvert every day” tells you to fix the culvert.
Farm alerts
Alongside road warnings, My Farm shows farm alerts the manager should see, like unloads outside a pen’s mapped feeding area and loads that needed several Smart Rations adjustments. Managers review them from one alerts page and follow up with the load and the map record.
Managers can set quiet hours, so alerts do not buzz at times nobody needs them.
Follow up with the load and the map
Every warning connects to a load. When you open it, you can see:
- The ration and the operator.
- The weight at the time.
- The route on the map.
- Where the warning happened.
That is enough to answer the next question. Was it the route, the speed, or the lane?
Why road warnings matter for the mixer
Hard hits add up. They can show up later as:
- Load cell drift, which throws off every weight.
- Cracked brackets or welds.
- Wear on axles, hubs, and tires.
- A shaken load that settles or separates before it reaches the bunk.
The scale record is only as good as the load cells. Keeping an eye on road warnings is a simple way to protect them.
Tie it to the service log
The LEO Agriculture app keeps a service log with maintenance records and reminders for each mixer, and LEO My Farm keeps a machine’s life file with its loads, service entries, and hours. When road warnings pile up for one machine, it is a good time to check calibration, look over the frame, and grease the running gear.
Good habits on the road
- Slow down for known rough spots, especially with a full tub.
- Fix the worst potholes on the farm lane first.
- Check tire pressure on the mixer regularly.
- Recheck scale zero after a big impact.
- Look at road warnings weekly with the operators.
Who sees what
Managers and owners see road warnings and farm alerts for the whole farm on My Farm. Operators see their own loads, grades, and stats in the app. That keeps follow up with the people who plan routes and maintenance, while the operator keeps driving and loading.
Use the warnings to coach, not to blame. A rough lane is a farm problem, not an operator problem, and fixing it helps every load after it.
Built for the road
A mixer that rides well carries the load better and keeps its scale honest. LEO vertical mixers are built for daily farm roads. See our twin auger vertical TMR mixers, and talk to your LEO dealer about axles, tires, and the LEO Bluetooth transmitter.
The full picture
Road warnings are one part of the record. The same load also carries target and actual weight for every ingredient, the grade from the LEO server, pen discharge, and the GPS trail. The office sees it all on My Farm, and none of it depends on a paper note from the cab.
Getting started
Create your farm on LEO My Farm, register your mixers, and have your operators load with the LEO Agriculture app on iPhone or Android. Road warnings and farm alerts show up as loads run.
