Of the belt drive types there seems to be two sizes, 250mm wide blades and 150mm. The extra width seems to double the weight of the drum assembly but not really gain much advantage, it will act just as a bigger flywheel

It looks capable on straight sticks, some trees are ok with this others you have to trim out every branch before you can feed it. My drum is 500mm wide, and I wouldn't want narrower because of the size Y I can just bend and stick in without cutting.

 

Edit - also the amount of small stuff I can bung in at once without it jamming.

$3499 sounds reasonable for a 1000cc machine if it doesn't fall apart after a month - are you going to import one?

Nope its too big for me to easily transport. I think the drum unit might be the same as some of the UK available 15hp machines, and being that its belt drive, would be easier to get one of those and swap engine.

Instuctions say it has a centrifugal clutch which most of these engines dont?

 

I'm thinking it would be a worthwhile upgrade for these belt drive machines, stop it stalling when over fed.
