I found this for sale on marketplace. I drove eight hours to Cincinnati Ohio picked it up on the back of a flatbed from a giant warehouse. It was very rusty and crusty yet still in perfect condition.
I removed the suicide, cam shell knives/ cutting head. Had byrd manufacture me a new helical cutter head. ….In hindsight this machine has a single shaft through the motor to the cutterhead, making it a very expensive endeavor to update / machine a new cutterhead.
It gets used every day and even though it was very expensive it’s worth every penny
It’s a 3 phase 7 1/2 hp beast…turns on with very little noise and runs absolutely perfectly and so smooth.
