I wish Tbar....looks like their pricing is very Shhhh Hush Hush Hard to find pricing. But this article says the Truxor DM5000 costs about $100K....WOW! $100K Cost? The unit in the 2nd video is probably a lot cheaper.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

true cecil....hopefully not a 100 grand Is it a hundred grand for the second smaller one? If so that is way over priced for a sickle bar that has to be hand cranked up and down mounted on not much more than a dingy. Heck the first one is on pontoons! If I built one I would want the sickle bar mount horizontally in the front. Believe it ir not I have some Amish guys around here that can build just about anything as long as you can show them a picture or draw it on paper. And their welding skills are second to none. For a culture that is down on technology they are awesome when it comes to engine repairs etc. And many here are into alternative energy sources like wind and solar.

My parents bought some furniture in Florida with the empathic statement from the sales lady that it was not made in China. When my mother stated that she was glad her pieces were not made in China, the delivery guy replied, "What'd mean lady this is all made in China."
Long story short my parents were stuck with it and the sales lady lied through her teeth that she never made that statement. BBB stuck up for the business.
Turns out they found a source within 20 miles of the house here in Indiana (Shipshewana) that was Amish craftsman made and delivery to Florida was very reasonable and a regular thing! Live and learn.

I'm fairly certain that I could build something to accomplish the same task for less than 100K.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
