I just did a you tube search and i could not find it. I guess I'm getting to the point where I'm developing CRS syndrome. lol

Thanks Farmer1, I had searched on line for building my own pellet mill and found yours on you tube, you are actually the reason that I'm here. The Mill you built is and exceptional example of what someone can do when they put their mind to it. Procuring the materials locally is difficult now with every body out there collecting and scrapping metal. I hope to eventually cobble together the materials to make an attempt at duplicating the one you built. I would like to use it to make leaf pellets, living in New England there is an overabundance of raw materials. Good luck whith your second mill, I hope that you will be posting it on here as well.

Thank for the reply, you are correct on that one. The inexpensive mills appx.($3000.00) are not impressive at all. I will post more about the use of the splitter as I develop some more ideas. That's a nice thing about this site as it always keeps you thinking.

Has anyone ever tried to manufacture pellets using some kind of extruder mounted on an log splitter?

Hi it may help you to check the vacuum lines. I just experienced a similar issue only to find that the ends of the tubing was brittle and cracked. I cut them back and the problem went away.
