The timber axe spins bottom up, and is a little hard to get used to. It does a great finish job, and you never have to back up over material, but it is not very fast. It picks the material up off the ground and sucks it into the head at the top of the drum, instead of throwing out the back. If the material is too big to cut, it just falls off.
By turning from the bottom up, the blades are digging into the wood while trying to cut it, and you rasie the head while cutting instead of lowering. Takes a little getting used to for those of us that run carbides.
By making it turn like a carbide, it starts to act like a Cimaf or a Tomax, but with one solid row of blades (2 rows, opposing sides of the drum) instead of staggered teeth. Good or bad, it is $10,000 cheaper than the other two.
