Ice Cream Machine

[Clapped 2N]

Hello. I am interested in making/ building a tractor driven ice cream machine.

Does anyone have pictures of a homemade one or pictures of purchased ones? Thanks!

Following I would like to do this too. It would be great for the back to school FFA night

You mean you want a really big one? You can just buy an electric one about the size of the hand crank version.

IT needs to turn rather slow or you would have frozen sweet butter instead of ice cream.

I've never seen a tractor powered ice cream
machine. Most festivals I've seen old very small
hp hit and miss motors that use very little gas.

Good luck.
Let us know if you build a tractor powered ice
cream machine.

My only concern is the cost of gas.

I think he has Kroger gas points.

here are 3 I've seen. unfortunately it is hard to see how exactly they work. there may be a kit available since the large pully on the ice cream maker seems to be the same and the small gearbox looks similar
too.

I've got pictures of one powered by horses, but they're on the other computer.

This is a unit a guy in our tractor club built. He said biggest issue was gearing to get it to run slow enough off the PTO. He built an ice block crusher to run off the belt pulley, but I don't have a pic of that.
