Pretty neat. I can't see how it could have paid for itself though. Consider production cost, operating cost, parts and repair,etc. And it only mowed down 2,590 acres. Doesn't sound like a lot of return for your dollar to me.

That is vary true. I dought this one ever did pay for itself. I do however know that there were several built and this just happens to be the biggest. In todays market you are getting between$1500 and $2000 dollers for a truck load of good logs. Imagine how many truck loads would come out of 2500 acres. I know they didnt just leave that timber on the ground!

It said it left the timber in a splintered mat that could be burned later without the use of fuel

Well that is not a good way to turn a buck at all. I see that as very wasteful!

I've heard so many stories about this machine from my dad. He has never gotten to see pictures of it so you made him really happy. The purpose of this was for the Vietnam War. I imagine Charlie trying to hide in an open field? The idea was to mow down the jungle mechanically and they would have no where to hide.
