will it hold up to do several bushels at a time? i noticed it said 1 1/2-2 bushels with ease per hour. we average 5-10 bushels at a time to shell.

no, it has a small tray that must be emptied. the sheller works very well, but it is a smaller one. 5 to ten bushels is going to take awhile no matter what. I look at it this way, imagine the time it would take by hand. that is how we did it for decades, until we finally tried one of these. now, no worries.

I do several bushels every year. So far it holds up. I do find it to be a little slow for those quantities so generally I do a little at a time...work an hour a day until its done.

Be gentle when you pull the trigger to let it spin up to speed. If you just gas it, it will always overshoot. After a few good starts, and you get the hang of it, it is very quick and easy.

I've actually had pretty good luck with mine. This is the second one I've owned. I ran the first one over while working on the truck so I can't say anything bad about it. I've owned the second one for two years now and get regular use out of it. Wheels are great and the tool holders are pretty nice as well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy the third after I run number two over!

This thing is overkill for that. But yes, if you have a huge place to mount it. I run my entire shop off of this thing. You might be more interested in something smaller rated at 2000-3000 to do what your wanting. I actually run a small pancake compressor off of a good 1000 and it does fine but I can only run one tool at a time off of that. If you get much larger you will definitely notice the load on your vehicle. I hope this helps!

Humm, well I haven't been reloading in a while now but when I did I tumbled around 100 to 150 .223 Remington each time with the tumbler about half full of Lyman Turbo Tumbler corncob green #7631394 Media. And I let it run 2 to 5 hrs. Brass came out real nice. So whatever that weights it works fine.

I used mine to crush and make a nice granular batch of chai mixed spices. It took a while, mainly because I was using it incorrectly. My son corrected my next effort and it did a quicker job. I was grinding/crushing coriander seed. I didn't get a powder so can't say if anyone else with more knowledge or experience could do better. It was a coarse product at the end much the texture of instant coffee crystals. This was my first mortar and pestle, so I was a complete novice.

So far, so good and no problems what-so-ever. I've probably used it 7 or 8 times so far with a duration of 4-5 hours for each of those. I'm using crushed walnut shells that I already had for my blast cabinet with a shot of Frankford's Brass Polish thrown in for good measure. Brass comes out looking very nice.Bottom line: For the price compared to others out there, I've very pleased. Hope this helps.

Hey Man, I bought this machine almost a year ago today. Love it, no issues. About the reverse feature, it is great for sanding to a high level for the ultimate smooth. If you sand just one direction, some fibers can just get bent over. Reverse it and sand those off. Do I use it every day, no, do I use it, absolutely. Is it a determining factor in buying this machine? That depends on what you are turning and skill level. If you are doing bowls, it is a must. J!

Hello, Peter. In specific response to your specific question, I've just done an in the field test w/ my identical shredder, obtained in March, on an empty 8.5x11 file folder (yellow in color if that means anything, and I think it does not), and timed it at 7 seconds, I'd say plus or minus 1. Now, if you're really grinding it, actually attempting 17 sheets or something, it is, of course, gonna slow down a tad. How long a tad is, I'm not sure. Overall, as a one person law office, I'm quite happy with the item. Make sure you don't bust the can into which the shards fall, though. Seems the item wouldn't work w/o an exact fit, and that's the can. Just THINK when handling same out to the trash. Don't drop it. As it's unsteady, watch where you set it. But overall, it's a great product. I'd do it again, w/o question.

I run a 3/8 impact when rotating my tires and it does fine. Recovery with this unit is fairly quick. If you want to run the sander continuous for extended periods of times probably not. I would check the CFM of the sander and compare with the output of this unit.

I only used a couple of table spoons from an 8 oz can to do a 1 gal tiller tank. I am confident that a 16 oz can will do a 20 gal tank. You waste most of it because you roll the tank around to get a coating everywhere and then dump the remaining liquid out of the tank and pitch it. I am sure your tank has some baffles so you will need to tape up the filler and gauge holes and then shake it to get the baffles coated. Good luck. I like the product, it has had 10% ethanol gas in it for a couple of months with no deterioration. You need to mind that 96 hour cure time and maybe even run air through the tank to help dry it though. I only used a couple of table spoons from an 8 oz can to do a 1 gal tiller tank.

Perhaps not under continuous use but it recovers fast. The sander would likely be a bigger load. Its been a good machine.

If we were talking flat to full, 35's might be pushing it. However, if all you're doing is dropping and adding a few pounds for terrain, like you say, I'd be pretty confident it could handle it. I've done 0 to full on a 31 in just a few minutes, so it's got some guts. Just don't run it continuously for more than 10 minutes.

Dave: the first day out of the box I cut 200 lf of champion metal roofing. oiled lightly when I put the tool away. next day cut 60 lf. works just great. I let the tool do the work and not force anything. I always oil my tools. as for how long the bit lasts I have yet to ware it out. I think it is a good idea to have a spare on hand just in case when your on a job.

This will do it, although you will have to do it in stages, otherwise you run a real risk of burning the compressor out. Something they don't really make clear is that when you first get it, run it for a half hour or so with no back pressure to enable the rings to seat. I didn't and paid the price. The next one I did and it is running fine.

It sounds like your use would be less continuous than industrial work like auto bodywork, I think it would be fine. It's quite a large tank, I don't use the tools you mention but it refills fairly infrequently when using impact gun etc. Maybe someone else can chime in regarding the tools you use.

it holds 1 shell per time.And the set comes with 2 shells. SO 1 spare.U can load as stated up to 30 bb's in each shell how ever i never went as far as 21 means 7 shots (shoots 3 bb's at each shot)The shells not eject after pumps.U can tap a small outstanding flap on the bottem and if u push it inwards a lil the shell loading room will open and if pushed hard enough even automaticly eject ur shell
