[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 6521161, member: 2119"] Still running a Martin Markham mixer here with a Bental roller mill on top and also a hammer mill of unknown make. The mixer chains are quite fragile and of size which seems to be unobtainable. An 8 TPH Lainchbury elevator forms the backbone of the system along with a selection of augers. We also have an underground conveyor to bring grain out from under the 4 wooden 15 ton bins, constructed in the 1950's and requiring the last 3 ton to be hand shovelled across the flat floors to the hole along one side. We have a little bit of everything here but not much of anything. It can do a perfect job but is quite labour intensive and low capacity. OK for a 200 acre mixed farm but the whole thing feels a bit like a working museum now. It seems too good to scrap when you look at the effort my predecessors and sometimes myself put into the installation yet really it's been superseded by much bigger things. Don't really know what to do with it all TBH. Keeping it running for now but it gets tiresome as you get older and less energetic. [/QUOTE]
