Home mill/mixer project ideas

[Kernowkid]

Looking for ideas on a new home mill mixing set up. We currently have an old set up in a old stone barn that works by filing a 350kg hopper via an auger from grain silos. After crushing use a chute to drop soya and beet pulp down into the mixer to mix with the barley/oats. For cattle we just do straight barley. All soya and beet pulp has to be bagged and carried up to barn and silos are a pain to fill and empty last part out.
About 4 years ago we put up a new grain store which works a treat at harvest time. But for the corn we keep back to feed it is all a bit of a faff. Wondering who out there mills their own feed and how and what gear you go about to do?
In an ideal world I guess id set something up in the new shed I can load via the jcb.

cheers

I have slowly moved from the system you describe.

I currently have renn 24" PTO roller mill
10 cube shelbourne mixer wagon


Be better loaded with loader but I currently blow into it and that's a cleaner in top of mill.
Load proteins with loader. Just as bad that though! Use wheel barrow to get it down a shoot from upstairs in stone building into bucket.

Wanting a grain store 60x60 to store 200ton + mill in.

Anyone good ideas for milling in a grain store?
Thompsons feed mill had a good setup encased in a wood cabin, kept dust contained.

Looks like a good set up. Have thought about getting the corn crushed on bulk then having a mixer wagon, but don't have a mixer wagon at the moment. But could work.
How do you bag up the feed after mixing or just off the ground?

I auger it straight into bull beef hoppers.
I'd get some sort of small tower if I was to bag it or 1 ton hopper things

How many tonnes a week/month are you processing?
