Grinder-Mixer Drill Fill MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 13-6-7 "This modified grinder-mixer is the biggest labor-saver on our farm," says Carl Stemple, Coleman, Mich., who turned an old grinder-mixer into a "drill fill" for treating seed and augering it into drills and planters.
To convert it for seed-handling, Stemple disengaged the hammers in his Farmhand grinder and removed the screens. No other modifications were needed. It'll hold about 90 bu. of seed.
Stemple dumps seed out of gravity wagons into the grinder-mixer and treats seed by pouring chemicals directly and slowly into the hopper. The machine can be quickly converted back to grinding feed, although it would have to be cleaned thoroughly to eliminate seed treatment chemicals.
Stemple uses the grinder-mixer to load and treat bin run wheat, oats and other small grains. It could also be used on corn and soybeans.
