Dual axis grinder blender

A dual axis grinder blender assembly comprising a grinder blender support frame with a cylindrical bore;

• a mast assembly attached to the grinder blender support frame and including a pair of coaxial excavator boom pin apertures for a blender pivot shaft and a pair of coaxial cylinder pin apertures for a rod end pivot pin;
• an auger tube holder passing through the cylindrical bore and journaled on the grinderblender support frame for rotation about a vertical axis;
• an auger tube fixed to the auger tube holder and concentric with the vertical axis;
• a central support housing fixed to the auger tube and extending downward from the auger tube;
• a horizontal grinder mixer assembly including a first rotatable cylindrical drum journaled on the central support housing for rotation about a grinder axis that is transverse to the vertical axis, a second rotatable cylindrical drum journaled on the central support housing for rotation about the grinder axis, a plurality of first grinder teeth attached to the first rotatable cylindrical drum, and a plurality of second grinder teeth attached to the second rotatable cylindrical drum;
• a grinder hydraulic motor mounted inside the auger tube and connected to the first rotatable cylindrical drum and to the second rotatable cylindrical drum by a gear train to rotate the first and second rotatable cylindrical drums about the grinder axis;
• an auger hydraulic motor mounted on the grinder blender support frame support and having a drive gear that meshes with a ring gear mounted on the auger tube holder to rotate the auger tube about the vertical axis;
• and
• wherein the grinder axis intersects the vertical axis.

A dual axis grinder blender comprising a support frame with a cylindrical bore;
