What are some names and models of small hammer mills ? How do they break grain down ? Is there any advantage to a grinder over a hammermill or are they similiar ?

I had a great big mill made by Dellinger mfg. co near new holland, it was a belt drive, you should get an old gehl pto driven they can chew trees up with minimal damage.

There are three:

Hammer mill, as they say it has metal bars that hammer the stuff through a mesh screen.

Burr mill, the 2 plates that grind the grain between them.

Roller mill, which pressed the grain through 2 rollers, like a steam roller does to a tar road.

For some baby animals, a few people prefer the roller mill, as the grains will not have sharp edges, possibly easier to digest.

The hammer mill is the fastest, and is almost all that is still made. Some roller mills are used for wet corn stored in silos, but that's beyond what you are looking for.

I'm more familier with 'grinder/mixers' which use a hammer mill to grind the feed, and a big tub on the machine to store the feed and mix several different items together - corn, oats, minerals - all in the same batch.

Are you looking for the real old stand-alone mills, that would grind & dump directly onto a wagon or such?

Wayne there were a number of hammermills made john deere had them, ihc made several, wetmore was a name brand, sears roebuck, montgomery ward. The other gentleman gave a good explaination of how they work. The old burr grinders have plate like things that rub together to grind feed. I have a letz grinder that john deere sold in later years ihc sold a burr grinder that was belt driven from belt pulley on tractor as were most of the hammermills. In later years the companies put pto,s on the mills just easier to run them. Not much help but all i can think of right now.

Wayne I think a lot of companies made mills and grinders. My Mom still has Grandpa's Fairbanks-Morse hammermill. A hammermill has a bunch of metal bars attached in rows on a rotating drum. There are screens with different sized holes that let ground up product thru when it is small enough to pass. I think a grinder would be able to finish a grain finer than a hammermill, like making flour. I'm not an expert on mills and grinders though, so maybe some one can be more specific.

What can you tell me about the Fairbanks-Morse mill. I will want to crack corn at a minimum.

I have never used it, I am planning to restore it so that it can be used for shows. It still turns free but it needs new paint desparatly. My Mom still has the manual for it. My grandfather used it to grind feed for the hogs and cattle.

I have an old fairbanks hammer mill. It has the small i.d. plate on the back side of the mill. Do you have any information about lubricating the mill, and what rpm is required? Thanks.

also gehl and Bearcat made hammermill. If you are getting one and think you might somday gind hay like to mix in slop, or make mulch, ect, get one that has the table on the end of the mill, at an angle from the pully, not one whose table is opposite the pulley on the mill. Youll want a 8in belt that puts your tractor around 30 or more ft from the mill. If you ever need to repair a belt take it to a shoe cobbbler. They can re glue and resew it
