[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1740610, member: 26138"] Don't depend on one for grinding large quantities of dry hay. If you're using big squares, or smaller round bales in a big mixer, it will do okay. Try putting a large bale that will fill it more than 50% and it will take quite a while and make a mess in the process. As far as wear, check the thickness of the tub at the bottom, slop in the conveyor chain, and the thickness of the auger flighting. You will be able to see the original thickness under the knife bolt heads, if they appear raised the flighting is worn quite a bit. Check the knives, they are serrated when new and shouldn't be worn smooth. [/QUOTE]
