Chris, I admire your home made doin yourself. I mean no disrespect, but I couldn't understand many of your words. That being said, my husband was from Gulfport Mississippi. When I met my in-laws... :0. She was teaching me his favorite dishes. "Steak and Gravy". I didn't understand what "sufferin flour" was. Young, I went pale in the face. Looked at him and said "why is the flour suffering?" He restrained from falling out on the floor. Translated into "self rising" flour. 1987 till now, I've been making an effort to understand folks have different accents. God bless your for it sir. And, thanks for the lesson on the corn grinder. Your lucky, lucky chickens. I know they were in there cooing away. "Daddy's making kibble". Hugs, :)
The idea on that one was good , it could be built out of lighter steel pretty cheap and still hold up And I still don't understand why it didn't come with a switch
Good job, Chris. Nice innovation. You remind me of my old man. He was always inventing things to get the job done. He never took a day off in his life. Appreciate you.
We've been using this mill everyday for the last two years and haven't had any problems with it. The wife grinds about a 5 gallon bucket of feed everyday, sometimes twice a day. Been a good grinder. Looking for an old hand crank burr mill for when the power goes out and can't run the generator.
Most of the I've seen fail was because of run time , they can fly apart if you do 500 lbs at one go . Just gets too hot . You could make this one hand crank just need a shaft with a key slot and a bearing block . I've already converted one to belt drive
Just keep it greased and don't run it to long at the time and it'll hold up pretty good. You need to break it in before you try to grind too fine if you hit the plates together you'll have to replace them ( they're cheap if you mess up ) .
I'm loving your videos I made a screen and put in mine pvc pipe and 5 gallon bucket made a neat hammer mean it was fine enough for the chickens to eat it
@@keithbennett5991 we have a hammer mill it just wasn't up and running when the old Burr mill broke . Just bought this one to get by and to do a video on since so many people asked if I thought it would work
I actually use a sun joe electric wood chipper to grind corn wheat and sunflower for my chickens it don't get it fine enough for pigs but does really good for chicken feed.
A few on freezing, not sure about drying corn . It just dries on the stalk same as peas and beans it'll droop when it good and dry, now if you mean sweet corn for seed just pull it when it's brown shuck it back and hang it in the barn where the mice can't get it . When it'll shell easy shell it ,bag it and put it in the freezer.
Works pretty good if ya got small batches to make up. Nice job on the stand. Isn’t nice to have scrap metal laying around for when ya need to make them projects. God bless. Stay safe
Idc where you are, It can be canada illinois or california. You will always ALWAYS run into guy Named Chris, Eric or Rick. who looks Eric in the video. Nice video!
Hey Chris, it’s been two years since this video. Are you still using this grinder or did you go back to the old one in the barn that you make hog feed with?
Ok, I am going to use that last line, sorry but I am going to steal, "you will never plow a field by turning it over in your mind" too good. I am 64 and farmed and gardened all my life and that is the first time I have ever heard that. And it is so true, especially today. God bless
@@HomesteadingtheHardWay i ant got enough room to grow corn to help on feeding cost iv only got 2 acres and my house and a half acre pond i built on it
Is that as 'coarse' as it will grind? I am looking for one that is more chunky/cracked, less floury. My current grinder, made in the Ukraine, grinds it into a powered, not what I want.
I bought this grinder and wound up a bit disappointed. I was hoping to make fine powder flour from wheat berries, but it still spit out 1/4 hulls. I tried tightening up the plates, and it started spitting out metal shavings and still was spitting out 1/4 wheat berry hull fragments. 😢
The plates have two sides one way for wet the other for dry I think but if they don't match it won't grind fine enough. If you hit the plates together it's ruined instantly replacements are 25.00 ish . It would be better if they came with some instructions take the plates out you'll see what I'm talking about .
You could make a tube from Fabric I’m tight it into the mouth and tight it from the bottom and you don’t have to ever deal with that dust when done open it into the big black container you got
Unfortunately most of the dust is from the ground grain hitting the bottom of the barrel and the thing leaks dust in-between the housing for the plates . I made a discharge chute for one a friend bought to make flour with , it might of helped some but not much and made it jam up far worse
For a small outfit it would do fine ( just grease it often) . A old big burr mill or hammer mill would be better but they are hard to find in usable condition . This thing is about the fastest cheapest way to start making feed
I make most of the feed with the hammer mill and I have a big burr mill . That little one is fine for a few chickens or a pig or two , most of that dust was from making cow feed with cob corn
@@HomesteadingtheHardWay I am looking for something to make my own feed. We have the whole spectrum when it comes to animals. Mostly will be making hog and chicken feed. Operation is not big enough for a full size hammer mill but might be too big for this machine. We are make an hour to hour and a half away from you in Autryville NC
@@dfishman76 this might be plenty for y'all just limit run time and grease it . I try not to bog it down and I usually don't grind over 200 lbs at the time it'll get too hot that's when they seem to come apart.
Your one smart man Chris I’ll give you that my friend. If your honestly thinking about selling it with that stand I’d buy it from you in a heart beat if there’s a list for buyers pencil my name on it!👍
Best I can tell they're all the same , might be painted a different color or have a different brand name or even claim to have a higher amp motor . Only difference is the price .

That’s a sweet stand!! You should totally make and sell them for others. Good idea on the switch. Sock would be a good addition

Sure appreciate the honest feedback. Thank you.
Glad to help
That little unit looks alright !! Likely ok in a pinch great mods
I think you could feed a small operation pretty well , just a little slow
Thank you so much. I have just received one and didn't know how to use it. 😊

Great video I was lookin at one of those couple months back so thanks for the video
Glad to help
This is the single best review video of one of these Amazon mills I have ever seen! Well done sir.
Thank you
He's in Canada 🇨🇦 , they don't have Rona in US n A
Love the belt buckle
Thank you
@@HomesteadingtheHardWay you are welcome 😊
Good seeing you on here and giving wise advice from your going through it brother. Many blessings.
Like we were talking about , just trying to help folks out
I'm loving your videos I made a screen and put in mine pvc pipe and 5 gallon bucket made a neat hammer mean it was fine enough for the chickens to eat it
@@keithbennett5991 we have a hammer mill it just wasn't up and running when the old Burr mill broke . Just bought this one to get by and to do a video on since so many people asked if I thought it would work
I have one of those. I cutout the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket and put it on the funnel then you can put 5 gallons of corn or whatever to grind.
I grind 2 tons a year with mine
I actually use a sun joe electric wood chipper to grind corn wheat and sunflower for my chickens it don't get it fine enough for pigs but does really good for chicken feed.
Not a bad idea
After two years worth buying i just started got 10 hens, 2 breeding stock goats and gardens going. Also any produce oreservation vids? How to dry corn
A few on freezing, not sure about drying corn . It just dries on the stalk same as peas and beans it'll droop when it good and dry, now if you mean sweet corn for seed just pull it when it's brown shuck it back and hang it in the barn where the mice can't get it . When it'll shell easy shell it ,bag it and put it in the freezer.
That's a pretty nice setup with your mods. Good work!
It does make it much more handy
I bought one of these mills. I got mine for $85 on eBay a couple years ago. I need to make upgrades like yours.
They do make it more usable
Works pretty good if ya got small batches to make up. Nice job on the stand. Isn’t nice to have scrap metal laying around for when ya need to make them projects.
God bless. Stay safe
Running a farm repair shop does help out a lot when you have to do something around the place
Way to adapt, never settle and make it better - even if temporary. Good job as usual.
I got that thing as a get by but it works good for small batches
Idc where you are, It can be canada illinois or california. You will always ALWAYS run into guy Named Chris, Eric or Rick. who looks Eric in the video. Nice video!
The stand is amazing. No need for prints, just simply build it!
Some folks need prints to get dressed these days.
Everyone always ask for plans and drawings. We never use them just build jigs if we're mass producing something
Excellent review! Thank you.
Glad to help
Why is this better than the hamer mill in the barn
Only advantage is you can't order a hammer mill off Amazon for 250.00 .
Beautiful work!
Maybe winnow out the broken bits of cob and other chaff before grinding in order to reduce dust?
Grinding grain just makes dust unfortunately. How fine and fast you're grinding makes a little difference but not much
neat stuff mate.
Great job I sure wished I had your skills
You can do anything I can Preacher just don't be scared to try !
What Amazon grain grinder is this? Make & model?
Bonjour monsieur, merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo. Alors la bobine utilisée est de quel chevaux?
Hey Chris, it’s been two years since this video. Are you still using this grinder or did you go back to the old one in the barn that you make hog feed with?
We make most of the feed with the hammer mill but we are still using this one to make poultry feed and occasionally corn meal and grits
Good review brother....blessings on you and yours
Thank you, hope it helped
Man, I’m craving some good cornbread and beans now.
I don't think this man is making cornbread. I'm thirsty for a sip of shine myself.
Stand looks good
Thank you , red paint can work miracles lol
I like the stand.
It makes it way more useable
Hi, how are you? I'm Ricardo from the Dominican Republic. I want to know where you're from and how much does the corn pulverizer cost?
Eastern NC . It was 250.00 with shipping I think , might have been a little under that
Ok, I am going to use that last line, sorry but I am going to steal, "you will never plow a field by turning it over in your mind" too good. I am 64 and farmed and gardened all my life and that is the first time I have ever heard that. And it is so true, especially today. God bless
It's old as time . It's a scotch Irish proverb and a common phrase here
Hello Sir, how would that machine work on wet grains such as spent brewery grains? Thank you
It says it's wet or dry, I think you have to turn the plates around for wet . As far as how well it would do I'm not sure tbh
What do you give for a 55 gallon drum of corn and rye for ya hog feed
Cost 4.00 a bushel (56lbs) for corn if I grow it 6.50 to 8.50 if I buy it . Rye and wheats a little cheaper
@@HomesteadingtheHardWay i ant got enough room to grow corn to help on feeding cost iv only got 2 acres and my house and a half acre pond i built on it
@@Billy.t.94 most farmers will sell you grain at mill price . If you have anyone local wouldn't hurt to ask
@@HomesteadingtheHardWay mostly just soy and cotton around here corn every once in awhile. I'm in north Mississippi
@@HomesteadingtheHardWay i don't know of any one that grows rye or wheat around here
do you think this rig could make meal, grits or flour?
We've made corn mill and flour with this one . You need to break it in first and be careful not hit the plates together
Is that as 'coarse' as it will grind? I am looking for one that is more chunky/cracked, less floury. My current grinder, made in the Ukraine, grinds it into a powered, not what I want.
No it'll make cracked corn , it has a pretty wide adjustment

Sweet modifications. And - in Farmall RED. !
If you're going to use the ground corn soon - would wetting it a little cut down on the dust? -KJ
Only paint I keep in stock is red, black and silver lol. It'll mold if it gets even damp we mix a little peanut oil in when we make the feed
GOD BLESS YOU FARMERS AND YOUR FAMILIES 🙌🙌
Thank you
Good setup for a small operation. Do you use the hammer mill that’s hooked on your tractor? That’s an awful lot of dust!
I make most of the feed with the hammer mill and I have a big burr mill . That little one is fine for a few chickens or a pig or two , most of that dust was from making cow feed with cob corn
@@HomesteadingtheHardWay that’s better feed for the cow than straight ground shelled corn anyhow. Good video. Happy trails

Did you find plates for the other grinder?
@@realWesThompson the ones this grinder uses can be made to fit . I got a extra set to do that with just haven't done it
I need one in Ghana
Hey Chris & Darlene, I hope all is well with both of you? I have a question when you make your own feed, what do you reckon the CWT cost is?
We've got the Rona again yea , its roughly 14.00 a hundred not counting equipment . It's 25.00 or 26.00 a hundred from the mill
can this grind grass as well
No you'll need something bigger and better for that
Hey man I’m hour from you and was curious if you ever sold that cheap grinder?
My nephew uses it every day to grind feed for the chickens. It's actually held up pretty good
Chris things are looking good, is it starting to get cold or does it get cold round them parts? Thanks for another straight-shooting video!
We just had our first frost last night
That would work for me👍
It does pretty good just have to grease it often
I’ve been grinding with that same grinder for 3 years I grind all my cow and hog feed with it. I feed 8 cows and 2 hogs off that grinder
Do you just use corn in the cattle feed or do you grind up other things ?
Thanks you
Glad to help
can this grind moist product, like ginger, or fresh herbs?
I doubt it
do you know were can i get the disc to grind wet corn
You take the screws out of the ones there and turn them over . I finally found some instructions
Which grinder is this?
@@Cyndi-P they make several different models they claim but all of them are the same except for color and price
@@Cyndi-P it's a burr mill like my old one just direct drive
Does it grind finer than this? Like into powder? Also has any one tried grinding herbs or leaves?
It's made to be a flour mill , pretty much just for grain I tried to grind some dried cayan peppers didn't work to well
New ones come with switch
Will this mill make cracked corn for chickens?
That's what we're doing in the video
If you sell it let me know
Your one smart man Chris I’ll give you that my friend. If your honestly thinking about selling it with that stand I’d buy it from you in a heart beat if there’s a list for buyers pencil my name on it!👍

Lol I've learned a lot from Mexicans over the years . The make it , make do or do without mentally is still strong down there , gotta respect that
Merci.
I made one with a 8hp wood chipper
