I am looking to buy a neighbors grinder mixer it is an Artsway 1996 4 ton PM30. It is a make clean unit that has been stored properly and well maintained. Could anyone tell me what to look for on this specific unit? I also would exist looking to add a swing away loading auger, would the load auger need to be from a PM30 or are there generic ones that would work? Mud Dauber

I will assume its a hammer mill. Cheque to see the condition of the hammers. The end of the lead end should be foursquare. If i side rounded and the other side foursquare y'all can rotate them for a precipitous edge.

You lot best buy it inexpensive if you need to find a swinging unload. One affair nearly unload auger is it's very simple to add together more length to information technology. I had to add together 10 feet to mine it reach a feed bin I take.

Good luck.

I volition assume its a hammer factory. Bank check to see the condition of the hammers. The end of the lead cease should be foursquare. If one side rounded and the other side square you tin rotate them for a precipitous edge.

You all-time purchase information technology cheap if you need to find a swinging unload. One thing virtually unload auger is it's very unproblematic to add more length to information technology. I had to add x feet to mine it reach a feed bin I have.

Proficient luck.

I should accept been more than articulate, it is the swinging feeder auger. Neighbor has his bins ready upwardly to load corn into the grinder without the auger. The bin I would be using discharges only 2 feet off the ground.

I will assume its a hammer mill. Check to see the condition of the hammers. The end of the atomic number 82 end should be square. If ane side rounded and the other side square you lot can rotate them for a sharp border.

Glad you are running that unload auger on an open station tractor, a left plough would be a disaster.

Take been an Artsway Feed Manufactory owner for many years. These are mutual wear areas and should exist checked out.

ane. Cheque that the tube effectually the mixing auger in the tank is in good condition. They volition eventually wear out at the bottom. Non too hard to alter, simply around $450.
2. Bank check bevel gears on unloading auger, especially the first set under the vertical part of the unload auger. They are a common clothing item and volition wear worse if auger extensions are used. Not too hard to change, just near $125 a piece.
3. Check the ring gear which raises the unloading auger for wear where the lift pinion runs on it. Once again clothing is worse if extension augers are used and the band gear is non greased. The ring gear can be rotated to let for a new wear surface confronting the pinion. A new pinion gear is around $125.
4. Bank check gear box on lesser of the vertical mixing auger in the mill for oil. They leak and need to be checked monthly if used regularly.
v. The rubber seals, especially the bottom ones volition habiliment out around the sight glasses on the mill and need to exist replaced one time in a while.
half dozen. Bank check that the front end main bearing on the hammer factory is good. Artsway uses a proprietary bearing in that location and they are virtually $450.
seven. Once more if auger extensions are used they cause more wear on the unloading system. They are sometimes necessary, simply call up that it puts extra stress on the organisation.
8. On the hammers just bank check to see if they still have at least one foursquare corner that they can be rotated to. Screens and hammers on this manufacturing plant are bachelor on the secondary market place and are non a big cost item compared to other parts.
9. These are available in both 540 and yard pto. Can you use either one?

I've never used a loading auger on my mills, merely I believe you've have to notice a donor factory to get all the parts off of. I don't think that the auger is available every bit a field installed unit.

DougK gave you a pretty good list of things to check, what I will add is if you but need the feed auger to get corn out of ONE bin, do what you need to do to go the bin auger high enough, information technology will probably exist cheaper and you won't have to work with that beastly feeder.

Information technology is a 1000 pto. Depending on the tractor used we take both bachelor. Thank you for the replies. I am excited to get this and finally be able to grind my ain feed. It is easy getting feed at the mill simply hours dont always match upwards with my demand. I take been looking for a couple years and this just brutal in my lap. I will expect into getting the bin auger to match the height of the mixer.

My son bought a PM30 that had a "farmered" drag auger that he doesn't use. It is a half dozen" auger with a hydraulic motor at the top. It has a shaft coming out of the bottom of it near the top to catch a pipe on the hopper. Bottom but has a prophylactic cage over the auger. I assume he would sell it only we are a long means apart. Employ your imagination or I could take a picture show or two tomorrow and text or email it to yous if you need some assist in the engineering department. ben5398

Would dearest a picture. I am thinking an angle auger on the bin is probably the easier choice every bit time is passing. Kelly
