Grinder mixer makes nifty feed cart LIVESTOCK Feeding Equipment 13-6-22 Roger Fisher, Spirit Lake, Iowa, salvaged an old grinder-mixer by replacing its rusted-out hopper with an old garbage dumpster cart which he uses to hold the ear corn or corn cobs he grinds up.
"I can grind feed or cobs, fill the dumpster cart, and use a shovel to unload right out the back of the cart," says Fisher. "The grinder-mixer was originally equipped with a large hopper and an unloading auger. The grinder and unload auger were still good, and I was able to get an old dumpster cart from a grocery. I removed the hopper and welded the cart to the frame. The cart is 4 ft. wide, 5 ft. long and 4 ft. high. I cut out the rear side of the tank and welded edging around the opening so I can close up the rear end with boards to fill it up when needed. The cart holds a half ton of feed," says Fisher, who uses ground-up cobs for chicken bedding.
