I build a bag filler hopper but don't show you how I built it...

This weekend was nice. Very little rain. I thought I would sell two ton of pellets. I had three customers who wanted big bags. I figured at least one would show.

I have a new customer (maybe) who wanted 200lbs. I was borrowing a bagger from my neighbor but he had the audacity of taking it back to bag his own oats.  So, I built my own out of scrap plywood I have been saving for 20 years and my new 2x4's. 

I immediately left my plan and it turned out completely different that I expected. It does not have a slanted back wall as I failed with my math and made it wrong. I was going to put peg board in the back and a fan to cool the pellets as they come out of the conveyer. I didn't succeed in my plan.

I am trying to buy a bigger pellet mill so I can actually make money at $85 an hour for the tractor powering the mill. Then, something goes wrong like I am stuck with two ton of pellets in my shop and I want to sell everything and quit. No really sure what the plan should be...

This is not fancy. The bag hangs on hooks to fill and there is a metal slide to shut off the flow. It all sets off the ground and a pallet will slide under it. That was not my best plan. I need to add a bench to hold up smaller bags. Best feature is it is tall enough I don't have to bend over all the time.

This is what I need to be working on. My bathroom floor is missing. I found another water leak yesterday so I fixed the leak and put a fan in the bathroom.
