Holy Giant Steel Balls! [Retromodo]

What weighs 4.5 tons, measures 8 feet in diameter, it\’s manufactured from pure steel, and may destroy 50 acres of woods per hour? The bowling ball lumbering machine, that\’s what.

Back within the 50s, it was believed to be the be-all, end-al of all lumbering techniques ever developed. Get the ball, set it in motion using two tractors, and watch it snap any tree across its path like toothpicks. I don\’t know if it\’s the right option to lumber, however it sure seems like so much more fun than motor saws. In case your idea of fun is destroying trees, that’s. [Modern Mechanix]
