Should I build it

Thinking about starting a new project. Here is what I am thinking.

I thought the Predator could use a tow vehicle for parades etc. I am thinking about building another engine identicle in every way to the Predator and stuffing it in a lawnmower. I could then put the Predator on a small trailer and tow it around for parades etc.

Also I would'nt mind using it for lawnmower drags and lawnmower tractor pulls.
Just a thought but I am thinking it would be one hell of a cool toy.

That would be hella cool, and from a practical standpoint, it'd be nice to have one engine platform to work with, as far as parts availability and supply. But I doubt the tow vehicle would run as hard as the saw, huh?

It'd be hard to catch traction in a mower with that much power wouldn't it? I'd think it'd almost be too much, and would maybe think of a rear or center mount. I dunno....just thinking out loud.

I actually saw the very early turboed version of that Buck engine on a mini puller once.It sounded odd pulling against 350 Chevys running headers because going through the turbro muffled most of the sound.

You would be surprised how much a mini puller can pull.Using a transfer sled they use the same rolling traction theory that the 12,000 pound unlimited pullers use.I wouldn't be a bit surprised that their hole shots are spinning the tires at 100 miles per hour.Ha,I pulled the antiques and the tractor in high gear would barely make 20 MPH.

[squisher]

Sweet man, what a wild machine!

 

[Rotax Robert]

Ha, I just fugured out how tap into the PA system here at work and sent them some audio of the Predator tearing through a log, and yes I had it cranked.

 

[SkwerI]

Oh chit! How many people are working right now, and how many of those are capable of firing you?

 

[Rotax Robert]

Nah, they aint gunna fire me, one of the jacks that plugs into the mic and speakers just happens to be next to my puter. Besides the guys liked it. oh yeah, about 300 people

 

[Rotax Robert]

Deadly Duo

088kd + 046kd

 

[MasterBlaster]

So the powerheads can be mixed up like that? Does that make it worse or better?

 

[Rotax Robert]

Just have to make them sing together. when they're tuned right, a pair of saws will sing to you (any pair) 088/84...088/066...088/046 they did not like my 088/3120 combo cuz the 3120 has a problem with its jug, kinda a two piece, but it is way friggin fast. Of all the doubles out there, mine sound just a little bit different, and no I aint fuelin them. It has to be a match. Not braggin to much here, but it aint bad when you can take a 088 and 046 (both kd wood saws) against a pair 090's (race saws) and hand them thier a$$ on a silver platter

 

[MasterBlaster]

It suprises me that a saw can operate upside down. I've always found a saw that was sitting upside down hard as hell to start.

 

[Rotax Robert]

Funny how the season ended only a month or so ago and I am already getting a itchy trigger finger.

Double Ender

here is a pic sent to me out of the blue. I aint never seen this one. This goes back about 5 or 6 years 088/084 paired up. These saws rocked

 

[MasterBlaster]

That's damn cool, Robert!

 

[fishhuntcutwood]

Hells yeah it is!
