That break looks like years of experience.

Total area of the fire breaks on all 4 sides of my property total about 2 1/2 to 3 acres. Takes about an hour an acre for annual maintenance. It would be less but the Blecavator really needs 40 HP to operate efficiently and I only have 30. I have to run PTO RPM in middle range and then it frequently overloads and I have to stop and lift it.

We only have another month or so of rain so the final inch we get will not be enough for weeds to grow through the dry summer.

Looks great. I'd like to try one on my farm

Unfortunately they are made in England and current price is $15,000. I got mine at a school district auction for $200.00! The bidders crowd was looking for electronics and furniture. My bid was the only bid.

I don't even have words; you stole that!

Seriously, what a find!
