That reminds me of some of the wood splitters I have seen on U-tube. Bubba says watch this .... while T-Bone says y'all be careful now.

At first glance, I thought it was a woodsplitter. Then I saw the blade. You'd have to be out of your mind to use that thing...

Looks like it belongs in "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome". How fast is the blade spinning when you run it chickenman?

 

[chickenman]

how fast, dont really know but it works

and ive been whacked many times its not as hard as it looks like it would be
i wear safty glasses and a hat and it cuts in both directions so i use a rotation that flings most away from me

actually i find the ticks and heat more annoying

if needed i could add a wire shield in front of me

 

[DreaminGreen]

I sure could use something like that, but with a circular saw blade on it.

That ....Uh....has an OSHA sticker....right?

 

[chickenman]

I sure could use something like that, but with a circular saw blade on it.

ive cut up to 2"-3" branches and saplings with it by just easing into them

Hope you never have anything walk up to you while working it ...kids, dogs, people etc.
I'd seriously consider some kind of shroud.
Other than being dangerous out of this world, it looks like a cool dangerous tool.

 

[chickenman]

so far i only use it out back on my horse track to trim back vegitation and trees when no one is around

if i was to use it otherwise i'd shield it, it would be easy to do

with safty glasses and hat there is little danger to the operator as the cutter is some distance away

iv used it 3 times for about 2 days each time with no ill affect

its one of those things that looks more dangerous than it is

i was a tool and die maker for 30 years and in a shop some of the machines that look the most dangerous are in fact the safest, sorta like with this

the way i use it its harmless to me, other aplications maybe would be different and i would use it acordingly

iv never gotten so much as a bruise

anything that has hit me is more a thud than anything else, a screen could be mounted to the fel uprights if needed
