[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1455303, member: 26138"] You'll need scales if you want to mix a ration with any sort of consistency. You might be able to get it close by counting scoops, but you still won't know the exact weight. I can't speak directly about auger mixers but I don't think they will grind hay very well. A neighbor has one and uses it off and on with pre-ground hay, he mentioned that wet hay will really work the heck out of it. I know our vertical will not grind hay in an efficient manner, in previous years we had it processed by a mobile grinder, this year we have gone to a baler that pre-chops the hay. We have a 350cuft that can be a handful with a 110hp MFWD. 65hp is going to marginal, especially if you have hills. [/QUOTE]
