That 1150 may look cheap but it must have been built good enough, its gotta be ~30 yrs old.
They started selling 1250's prior to CIH.
Old Arts-Way grinders are not the most refined but they get the job done load after load, day after day, year after year.
Get one with a hyd hopper powered by the tractor hyd, the gears on the unload auger aren't much trouble if you do a little bit of maintenance once in a while.
No hyd pump on the mill to rob hp is a plus in my book.
Hyd lift and swing on the unload is the cats meow if you do much grinding.
