    i have used many belting materials the best imo is baler belt, it takes about 10 keeps for mill to brake in,if the mill travels from a hand push, thats sufficient considering the weight of the dog and 4 legs out put

    Works not too bad I guess. I like a more free spinning mill, but it works fine. I'm going to build a new belt with different material, narrower/thinner slats, and lighter hardware. I'm also gong to get some custom brackets made for the main wheels to increase adjustability. Regards.

    One thing I forgot to mention in my previous post is where I got my 1 15/16" conveyer wheels. This company has good prices and lots of options.
