Cool mods, I've got the same setup but been running a clay claw at the bottom of the hopper. Certainly helps with the clay up here. Have you had issues with the leg mount plates folding under weight? I had to make a brace to support the mounting areas. Looks like the grizzly bars are the go aswell. Punch plate is a bit to risky for larger nugs to slip through.

Nice set up! The mixer looks like the one sold on line by Edison's if I'm not mistaken. The thing about using a mixer is that you can also convert it into a ball mill if you have quartz rock to break down. My plan is to use Bocce balls, you can buy a set cheaply from K-mart. Just a thought! Mark from Melbourne. PS What part of Gippsland are you from?
