Mornin' Lance,

I agree with the Cowman and kinda think you are trying to use the wrong tool for the wrong job.

Grinder mixers work great for small grains but they just aren't designed for grinding hay. I would imagine you'd just end up plugging the thing up even if you were to try feeding it with a pitchfork.

Screen sizes on a tub grinder normally run 3 or 4 inches and they can eat a lot of hay; like Howard says, a sizable tub can easily keep two loaders busy. Here's a picture of a little guy.

Oh yeah, and always put the discharge apron downwind. :>)
