John Deere Amazon #2
The John Deere Plow Co. Amazon No. 2 St Louis, MO, mill has large diameter rollers and is single geared. The juice discharge spout is in the center of the bottom of the mill. The flat belt pulley is 40" in diameter and is 12" wide.
Southern Plow Columbus #15
The Southern Plow Co. Columbus No. 15 is the heaviest mule drawn mill that I have seen. It is set up on a sled to be pulled by 4 mules, (2 teams). The 2 teams are hooked to each end of the "A" frame sweep to power the mill. The mill was updated in the 1920's with a belt power setup. The weight of the mill with the flat belt pulley is 2,700 pounds. It has been said that the best way to feed this mill with 4 mules pulling it is to grab an arm load of cane and run at it! Madison and Garret Clayton by the mill.
