Is there an auger from the bin to the wagon? Or what exactly do you have going on there?
For us dad has 3 quarters of corn that go from the grain carts into the bins tied to the feedmill and another quarter 2 miles away. It’s be 15 cents a bushel to haul it to the elevator that would otherwise be doing the feed. Plus 50 dollar a ton markup on sbm. Plus 14 dollar a ton to pay their milling and delivery charge. Anywhere from 2-300 ton a month. It’s a cash cow.
Have you actually calculated ALL your costs.
At 200 ton per month your savings are a little south of $7500 which sounds like a lot of money but have you included your depreciation costs and your repairs.
Looking at only what I can see you've got a $7 - 8k depreciation and at least $4.5k in repairs on an annual basis.
Those costs are without anything for your time and operating expenses.
Now if you set things up so you're not using so many pieces every day - - - well - - - then you're more likely to be making money.
I like your thinking - - - just not sure you're actually saving much the way its being done. (There are other ways to do things.) | 
My little pop up feed mill.
