Nice variety of pictures, thanks for taking the time to post them.
What the heck are the machines in the third pictures? Have not ever seen any like that in my travels. Orchard maybe?
old-iron-habit,
Those machines are used for topping and hedging orchards. Thirty years ago they got started in citrus but have since gotten taller and wider and are now doing almonds, walnuts, pistachios and just about anything that gets in their way. The saws are 24 to 36" and turn at 3000 rpm. The cross that they are mounted on is adjustable but commonly runs 50 rpm. I use 2 of the smaller versions for citrus. G
Interesting. They must make quite a buzz. Learn something new every day.
