This bearcat mixer has been around the place for over 30 years I think. It may have been the one I remember seeing the chief shovel ear corn into scoop after scoop after scoop... It still grinds feed for our pigs and chickens and does a few custom mixes for neighbors. We think we have honed in on a recipe we like for the pigs so we can pull up to an auger or wagon and fill but on the custom mixes we load it 100 lbs in a tub at a time and add bagged supplements. The new equipment is that swell silage fork. We are feeding about 30 head of calves by hand now, buckets and tubs of silage, corn and ddg carried to the bunk. We got to thinking if our old silage fork broke everything would starve! So we got a back up. The entrepreneur in me thinks we can feed twice as many feeders now.
