ROUGHAGE MILLS 
The Letz roughage mill cuts, mixes and grinds grains, hays, straws, fodders, any feed crop, bundled or otherwise. 
Turns the whole crop into money saving feed. 
It is a cutter, recutter, crusher, grinder and mixer combined. It is a grain grinder, an ear corn crusher plus a rough- 
age cutter, recutter and mixer, the entire product being discharged from cutter head and grinding plates. 
This combination does everything that a hopper mill will do, everything that a cutter and recutter will do plus 
selecting and mixing feeds in the proportion desired, at big capacity. 
LETZ No. 230 ROUGHAGE MILL 
This is the medium size. Takes whole bundles of fod¬ 
der or sheaf grain bundles without cutting the bands if 
bundles are not too large. This size is recommended for 
the average dairyman or stockman or for those who do 
not require a greater capacity than from 3,000 to 7,500 
pounds per hour. A 12-25 tractor or a 15 H.P. motor 
pulls the No. 230 to full capacity. A 10-20 tractor or a 
10 or 12 H.P. motor pulls it to good capacity. 
The No. 230 is equipped with an automatic all-steel 
construction feed table as is the No. 344 and the No. 130. 
Two endless feed belts compress the forage fed in a tight 
mass and forces it in a smooth, steady, constant manner 
into the cutting knives. This eliminates a man at the 
feed throat. 
As shown on opposite page, these mills may be 
equipped with ball bearing exhauster fan or with wagon 
box or with sacking elevator. Price of the No. 230 
Letz, $250.00. 
LETZ No. 344 ROUGHAGE MILL 
This is the large size for big capacity. Built for bun¬ 
dled feed. Takes good size fodder or sheaf grain bundles 
without cutting the bands. This size is recommended 
for dairymen and stockmen feeding on a large scale or 
those desiring to do much work in short time. A15-27 
tractor or a 20 H.P. electric motor pulls the No. 344 
Letz to full capacity. A 10-20 tractor or 15 H.P. electrio 
motor pulls it to good capacity. Price, $319.50. 
Buch’s Hand Lever Feed Cutter 
This cutter is simple, durable, handsome and low

can be adjusted to take up all wear, thus insuring a per¬ 
fect shear cut at all times. Has gauge-plate adjustable 
to any length of cut up to 3 inches. Cuts either green 
or dry fodder. Price $6.75.

All capacities are approximate and depend upon power, speed, plates used, belt drive, uniform feeding, then upon the material itself. 
Dry, brittle grain or roughage grinds more readily, may be ground finer and with less power. Heavy feeds are ground at greater capacity 
than light feeds.
