I have question about grinding feed with a hammer mill. I have a very small operation and I still grind my steer feed with a belt driven hammer mill and an "M". It seems I need to keep the belt fairly tight in order to grind feed or else the belt seems to slip if I allow too much corn to enter the mill. Another occasional problem is at higher rpms with no load the belt wants to start flopping from side to side it will even become violent if I don't put a load on the grinder. I have been doing this for a few years and I should have this operation set but I don't. One thing that makes me courious is in the summer at antique demos I see belt driven equipment running with a big sag (not overly tight) in the belt and it all seems to be operateing ok. I am just trying to find out if there is a rule of thumb for runing belt driven equiptment like a hammer mill.
