See that kid? He lost his big ZZTop beard in it. Wicked dangerous.

 

[Catskill]

Scary is certainly the right word.

Looks like its about 100 yrs old. Easy way to lose a finger or a hand.

That's not so bad. You should see the one they demo at the county fair. Way more dangerous than that.

I worked on work comp claims for years I have seen many a machine that I would NEVER run or want to be around. This is one to add to the list.
I wonder if Uncle Jesse will stop by and teach you how to run it since it looks as old as the hills ????? To ramp it up it needs a couple of those heads to come down at the same time If I showed my Uncle that video he would be making something like it and you know I would have to see it 'work".

That thing is a death trap.

On the other hand this other thing is COOL!

those guys are making good production ...the elevator is probably loading up a dump truck. If you producing wood to sell that's the way I do it.

That is true. I got to poking around and there aer at least 3 or 4 brands of those gizmos. But it seems like all I see them processing is soft wood.

And not a single branch or limb. I want to know how it handles wood that has lots of them.

A finger or hand would be best case scenario. Watch out you don't lose your head...

 

[Adios Pantalones]

Or your big beard.
