I needed some chicken feed , and the co-op cracks my corn to course .. so I do it with what I have ... a yard chipper and my dump trailer ..
Got the oats in the grain-o-vator and shelled corn in the trailer ..
Got the tractors out and skid loader and grind some chicken feed .. as I put the ground corn in the grain-o-vator .. I had it running to mix .. it worked just... took awhile but got it done ...
THANK GOODNESS .. I only do this about ever 8-9 months .. only used 1400 lbs oats and 800 lbs corn .. the chipper does a great job .. run it wide open and feed corn slow .. it cracked the corn fine enough for me .. and the chickens ..lol

Just thought I would share my big farming thing ... had fun using the tractors ..

My La on dump trailer and the S on the grain-o-vator .. my son help me .. hes in the picture..

You should show us a picture of the final product! I would think you could find an old grinder mixer for scrap price and really make the Case grunt. I have 2 of them here that are going to scrap soon.
 
I have a 15 HP chipper shredder that I have run ear corn through for chicken feed. A grinder mixer would be nice for the 2-3 times a year I would use it.
 
Not only do you make GREAT calendars, you really have alot of creativity. And I thought it was just an excuse to play with the tractors, silly me.
