Any user experience with one? Looking for hopper capacity and output.
I know it won’t be huge but thinking it might do for a few tons each week at our own convience

Think the hopper is 1.5 tons (jcb loadall bucket full....itll roll that out in just under 6 minutes on number 4.5

do you have one?
If that’s right it will do around 15 ton per hour? Seems a lot.
On setting 4.5 is that given a good flat sample on dry grain or just smashing it up?

Yes I have one...mine won’t roll it flat as it’s fitted with fluted rollers which is what I requested .you don’t want barley rolling out flat these days...the grain is broken into about 3 pieces

Certainly seems pretty quick for being the smallest mobile machine they do.

our handler bucket is 7ft 6. The hopper is wide enough for that isn’t it?

Yes fits it perfectly....it won’t roll it that quick if the moisture content of the sample is higher, it’s only because the barley I’m currently using is quite dry

So higher the moisture the slower it does it is the rule of thumb?

I don’t know much about milling

In my experience yes

In my experience yes

Thank you for your help

Different horses for different courses, but I'm not happy at any more than setting 2.5/3, when it'll take 20/25 mins. I can imagine a lot more if opening it up, as a little makes a big difference. Mine has notches, newer ones a screw that can be set anywhere?

Agree fine with 7'6" bucket, probably tonne and half of wheat, bit less barley.

Your saying approx 4ton per hour?
Do you have fluted rollers?

Why do you run it on a setting that low out of curiosity ?

No more than 3t, I'd say. I have 1 fluted and 1 ribbed roller, after having to replace one and the gear pair at the back.

I get too many untouched grains otherwise.

@Wakely grain mills

When was the last time you adjusted the rollers?

 

[e3120]

Not long ago. Advice I was given was they should nip 2 pieces of paper, but not 1. Yes, there is a bit of wear, but not crazy. It'll have done 2500t, but was never fast.

I am fussy.

I’d say it’ll be costing more in diesel and time rolling that slow than an odd grain slipping through....we adjusted ours with feeler gauges and Setting 4.5 seems to roll it perfect but I guess not all the same

 

[alan6430]

I would need it to do between 7 and 10 ton a week. It will be fine for that won’t it?
Or would I be wishing for the next model up
