The old Super A and the Hammermill

I had my doubts at first because I had read comments by others that they recalled their hammermills making their larger tractors grunt. Maybe their mills were quite a bit bigger. Most of the old hammermills I recall were 8, 10 and 12 inch models.

My mill is a Ward's Grainbuster with power conveyor and brother, as fast as you can shovel the corn to it..it swallows it without a hiccup. The little SA performed like a champ and never seemed challenged at all. I have a 1/2" screen installed and got nice fine ground feed as a result. I still wonder who actually built these Ward's mills.

I was grinding ear corn!

The previous owner had used the big 1 inch screen and I changed that first thing. I don't know about your mill, but it was a b!tch to change the screen in this machine. The next finer screen I have looks to be 1/8" or 3/16"..... I'd bet you could make meal with it.

Anyway, the feed I made is plenty fine..I wouldn't want it any finer.

When I was finishing up, I shoveled in the loose corn (like shelled) and it came out the texture of chop chicken feed.

I don't think my Super A is anything exceptional, just typical of the breed and it handled the load fine. Sure I had it wide open, but I don't think it really neccesary.

BTW, some fella here provided me some basic info on these Ward's mills....that was how I was able to identify what it is. Mine is factory PTO and on the optional carriage...nice set up.

Evidently I never got that particular message..GRRR!

I'll send you an email if your address is available with my snail mail address..OR..email me.
