Here are a few.
I saw one like these bolted on to the rear wheel of a truck about 60 years ago.
I don't think I would want to use one of these on a vehicles wheel hub.
But something like "highbeam" has, or something similar on the front of the PT, I would give a go at in a heart beat (of course dirtbike racing, police officer, OH journeyman linemen, etc. has made me lead the "exciting" life more than a few times).
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.
ye its a bit scary... and i must admit it really hurts when it grabs a log and spins it over smacking you on the knukels.Hmmm, really frightening. No safety equipment, hands right next to the rotating screw, no guards on anything. Don't have the equivalent of our OHSA over in Old Blighty, then?
