I am just starting out with sorghum this year. Found a verticle press (W.B. Belknap & Co New Blue Grass 1896 Model No 3 Sorghum Mill made in Louisville KY). It's located 4hrs from me so I hate to just go look at it without being forearmed with a little knowledge. Questions are these:
1. Is a working horse driven verticle press worth $795.
2. Is it difficult to adapt the horse driven press to run on tractor pto or other power source considering it is intended to operate at slow speeds?
I would be very appreciative of any help/advice.
