Operaon
1. Go through the Setup steps (pages 16 & 17).
2. Set the shear plates ( page 18).
3. To prevent damage, NEVER START THE PTO WHEN THERE IS ANYTHING INSIDE THE MILL!
4. Engage the PTO at the lowest engine speed possible.
5. Gradually increase the engine speed unl the PTO reaches 1000 RPM
 Running the mill at PTO speeds below 1000 rpm will result in a coarser grind.
6. Aer the hammer mill is up to speed, begin dispensing grain into the hopper.
7. OPTIONAL: Turn on water valve.
To shut down, do these steps in reverse.
Best Pracces
These are the best pracces for running the Lankota Corn Cracker.
• The corn cracker operates at maximum performance when it is fed with grain at maximum speed—i.e. the faster you
feed it, the beer it grinds.
• Keep grain in the hopper at all mes—this ensures it feeds as fast as possible, helps keep dust down and also helps it
throw the grain further.
• Add water via a garden hose and the brass ngs to decrease dust and improve packing.

5/19/2021 www.lankota.com | Lankota Inc.Page | 16 Lankota is a registered trademark of Lankota Group.
Setup
1. Use a tractor that has 120+ hp (at PTO) and has 1000 rpm PTO.
2. Slide the correct PTO half-sha onto the mill and set it in the PTO rest.
3. Aach the hammer mill to the 3-point of the tractor. The 3-point arms
can be adjusted forward or backward depending on the tractor.
4. Connect the PTO drivesha and the hydraulic hoses.
• There are two pairs of hoses—one set is for chute rotaon and the
other for deector up and down. Turn the hydraulic FLOW DOWN
for both SCVs.

5/19/2021 www.lankota.com | Lankota Inc.Page | 17 Lankota is a registered trademark of Lankota Group.
Setup
5. Raise the corn cracker and move the plug from its storage point to the
operang posion in the boom.
6. Park the tractor in the grinding locaon and lower the mill to the ground.
7. Adjust the height of the footpads and the length of the top 3-point arm.
• The drivesha should be as level as possible.
• At least 3 of the mill foot pads should be rmly on the ground.
• The top link of the 3-point should be loose.

5/19/2021 www.lankota.com | Lankota Inc.Page | 18 Lankota is a registered trademark of Lankota Group.
Shear Plates—Setup & Adjustments
• Start with Plate 1 all the way out, Plate 6 all the way in and gradually stagger the rest
between them. (Plate 2 is 1/5 out, Plate 3 is 2/5, Plate 4 is 3/5 and Plate 5 is 4/5 out.)
• If the grind is too ne, start at the top and pull the plates out unl it is as desired.
• If the grind is too coarse, start at the boom and push the plates in unl it is as desired.
 Even when the plates are all the way in, the ps of the hammers will not be able to
contact the edge of the shear plates.
 The cutouts on the side of the shear plates show the full range of adjustment.

Hammer Installaon/Replacement
1. Each of the 60 hammers is double-sided/reversable. Aer one side is worn
down, remove the roll pin, washer and clevis pin.
2. Flip the hammers and reinstall the hardware.
3. When both sides are worn or the p is less than 5-3/4” from the center of the
pivot hole, call Lankota for replacement hammers.
All hammers must be installed; failure to have all hammers and hardware
installed will cause the mill to be unbalanced inducing vibraons that
signicantly shortens the lifespan of components.
If a coarser grind is desired, Hammer Delete Spacers (LANCK114) are provided.
Remove ONLY one hammer and spacer/washer from each set and replace with a
delete spacer. Alternate which hammer is replaced so they are not all in a row.
Failure to not evenly replace hammers will cause the mill to be unbalanced
inducing vibraons that signicantly shortens the lifespan of components.
Store the hammers & washers on the rear of the Corn Cracker.
Tip Length
More than 5-3/4”
