Really nice work! One suggestion: in the old days the hand powered straw choppers / chaff cutters ishad a big and heavy iron wheel (or maybe even two of these) so the kinetic energy/momentum stored in it when rotating made the cutting much easier.
Good point. The bicycle wheel here serves this purpose, though it would work better if heavier. Still, most people riding this machine complain that it is too easy to pedal! The gearing is quite low. I have looked into chaff cutters but have found that none of them seem to be used for sunflower stalks, a significant garden remainder. Thanks for your comment.
@@janprzysiezniak7563 make a cement slurry and pump the tire up with it. let it cure with the wheel laying horizontally so it doesn't settle to one spot causing severe imbalance. Cheers from Beaver County.
JP you are nothing less than an inspiration. Thank you for doing inspiring stuff. Thank you, even more, for sharing the journey.
