The Ferguson Hammer Mill Type H-LE-A20 is a rare piece of agricultural machinery with an interesting history.

Originally designed by the Ferguson company, it was a powerful and efficient machine that could process a wide range of materials, including corn, wheat, barley, and oats.

WHAT IS THE FERGUSON HAMMER MILL?

Produced in the mid-20th century, this hammer mill was a key tool for farmers who needed to process grains, hay, and other materials for animal feed.

HOW DOES THE FERGIE HAMMERMILL WORK?

The hammer mill worked by using a series of hammers that would spin rapidly inside a metal drum. As the hammers struck the material, it would be crushed and ground into smaller pieces. The ground material would then be forced through a mesh screen, which would separate out the finer particles.

WAS THE FERGIE HAMMERMILL POPULAR?

The Ferguson Hammer Mill Type H-LE-A20 was one of the company’s most popular implements, used by farmers all over the world.

Farmers used the hammermill to process a wide range of crop because they could easily adjust the size of the mesh screen in the mill to produce different grades of feed. This meant it was a very valuable tool for farmers who kept different types of animals from cattle to pigs to chickens.

Today, vintage Ferguson Hammer Mill Type H-LE-A20 machines are highly sought after by collectors. Although they were built to last, there are not many of these implements left today. So a Ferguson Hammer Mill can be expensive.

However, the value of a hammer mill can vary depending on condition, level of restoration, and whether any parts are missing. For example, JStaley Ltd sold an all original hammermill with all parts, no rot, and with brass manufacturer plates present for over £2000.
