Horse mills were commonplace in farming from approximately 1850 until the 1930s. They were primarily used to run threshers or feed cutters, but also circular saws. This propulsion technique spread further again from approximately 1890 onwards thanks to the invention of the horse-powered threshing machine, which meant that most large farms had a horse mill by 1900.
