Subject: Hammer mill - huge flywheel with knives on it
You are looking at an old hammer mill that was last used to chop vines from a vineyard into little pieces for mulch. The unit stands about 7 feet tall and is connected by chain drive to a shaft that you turn with your tractor PTO. The unit requires a 50 HP or better tractor to operate smoothely. It can ofcourse be used to chop anything you want, but you will have to oil it up and make sure it is turning freely before applying the full power of a large tractor.
