[QUOTE="rarefish383, post: 2067271, member: 42490"] Back in the day we used a 16 inch Asplundh drum. Some knuckle head threw something into it and it made a really loud noise. One of the knives had a huge chunk knocked out of it. When Dad pulled the blade the big wedge that holds them in was cracked in half. When the object came out of the chute it put a deep groove in it and where the adjustable deflector on the end of the chute got hit there was a big gash. Several years later while getting some rotted chips for the garden I found a huge gate hinge. It was at least 16 inches long and the barrell where the hinge pin is was at least an inch in diameter. There was a slice about 3 inches long on one side of the hinge and the rest looked untouched. At the RPM's those things spun it's really lucky something didn't fly apart. I think I still have that hinge somewhere. If I find it I'll post pics, Joe. [/QUOTE]
