I have a hammer mill - don't know if there is a make/model tag on it. It was part of the old machinery collection the previous owner of the farm had left in the woods. The sheet metal is in bad shape but the rotating parts are good. I plan to use it with my 8N.
Dad had a hammer bolted to the barn floor just inside the main sliding doors. With the doors fully open the belt pulley was exposed for the belt. The 8N was backed into position on the barn hill and belted up. The tractor was alway parked in the same spot with the brakes locked, I remember the pockets in the ground from the tractor wheels.
The hammer mill was not run at PTO speed but always with the 8N at full throttle. Still remember the sound of the tractor and the noise of the hammer mill.
The hammer mill lost a hammer one day - due to the unbalance it dang near tore loose from the floor. Nearly the entire barn was shaking until dad got the whole mess shut down. The hammer mill never run again - dad would not go near it and got all the feed ground at the mill in town.
And thats my story of the hammer mill. In answer to your question a 27 HP 8N will run one.
