MacKissic Mighty Mac Shredder

October 19, 2012 - The old shredder that I picked up last year was not useable for shelling beans and peas since it did not have a hammermill-type mechanism.

So being that it was again harvest time, thoughts returned to the tasks of threshing dry beans an peas.  My buddy in Tennessee found this Mighty Mac shredder about 30 minutes from our farm and I called, ran up there and picked it up.

The list retail on a new machine is $1,899.  I got this one off of Craig's List for $400!  As you can see from the pictures, it has not been used very much or very hard.

The next step will be to convert the hammermill to a thresher using Allen Dong and Roger Edberg's plans, a copy of which can be found at the Victory Horticultural Library.
