I can see the possible danger, but I don't hear or see any stats from many of the people denouncing this little device, that shows it is a proven hazard.
If I was mechanically inclined (and I am not, I can barely spell the word) I would design something for the PT. It looks like it would be a lot cheaper and less work than the standard "log splitters".
Now that I think about it, maybe welding something together that the mower deck motor and coupler could attach to...just a thought. |
Well, Highbeam has one, and he himself called it a "bloody dangerous contraption." Seems to me that in itself is a pretty good confirmation that they really are dangerous.
I doubt anyone keeps separate mayhem stats on this type of log splitter.
