eweland - 8/4/2018 21:59 4440 on a gehl 170 1/8" screen as it looks right now so I should get close to your numbers




Maybe close but probably not quite.


2 reasons

1) While your tractor is pretty close to the same hp, your mixer has a self contained hyd system that is a parasitic drain on your available power.  Our grinder does not have a hyd system on it and we drop the corn into the mill with an electric auger.

2) Our mill is 26" wide, I think yours is 21".       If the screen wrap is the same you only have 80% of the screen area that we do.


With a screen that small I really believe that the amount of open area in the screen is what limits how much can get through.

I think you'll be closer to 500-550 lbs/min.     Which will still get 10 ton/week ground in a reasonable amount of time.
