Thread: Back pack possum plucker

Any here built one?Any paddle design work better than others? Thinking simple shaft two pieces conveyor belt parellel to shaft at 180 degrees.How they compare to the bench mounted 11 hp ones ?what rpm to spin shaft for best results?

My take on it would be to use small a petrol blower, converted to suck so it can pluck a possum, may have to slow the drum speed, you don`t want to mince one, rubber calve teats on the drum and keep the outlet tube so all the fur can go straight in to your pack. How's that for thinking outside the square, and there`s no such thing as can't do it., Homebrew.357.
