    The work table set up looks nice . I agree it's a little on the thin side .

    looks to be a vert/ horz rig. Someday ( likely not in my lifetime) the designers of this stuff might even use their creation themselves. Wouldn't that be an eye opening experience for those cad/cam jockies.

    at least when a big piece of knotty sugar maple gets jammed on that 4 way and you retract it to the log stripper it will keep forcing the lever in reverse until it smokes off the schedule 40 nipple holding the valve on and covers everyone and everything in fluid......no biggie,prolly comes with a great warranty

    Eh, hydraulic fluid showers are overrated.

    I like some of the design, but yeah, the execution seems a little lacking.

    Sometimes bean counters intrude on design as well, so you never know.

    If that does not happen, it will break over time from the operator working the control valve and/ or from vibration.

    It may not even last till you get it home. With the shape our roads are in and those little tires, it's going to get snapped around good. The weight and hoses are strategically placed so the spray crack will be pointed in the operators direction to alert you to a problem. Nice touch!! :D
