The Predator – born in Washington state, USA – is a 2-man chainsaw powered by a V8 engine, capable of cutting through a 3’ log in less than a second. All of their videos of this monster are fun, but this recap on an unspecified television program (which seems at the very least sponsored by Prolong Oil) sums things up nicely.
My first question – “Who would build such a dangerous beast?” – has been answered. His name is Robert Andrews. My second question – “What on earth would give one the courage to handle such a monster on its inaugural run?” – has not.

I just looked at all three of your posts. Amazing stuff. Efficiency and sport. What next a V8 belt sander?

Wow!! I have enough respect for my little chain saw. I cannot imagine trying to run one of these but I bet it would make a pretty spectacular milling machine.

Yikes!! Those guys are insane! I don’t imagine that their phone is ringing off the hook with all the commercial possibilities. And what about felling the trees? Maybe they could chain the thing to one of the branches of the tree they’re dropping? ;-)

would it be an overkill to park one of those in the garage to clean out the shrubs?

Words fail me. But the possibilities are really exciting! The implementation is, however, a little more daunting.

I think Gary’s AR AR AR was an indirect nod to Tim the Tool man.

bureaucrat – perhaps it is… however I’m not sure ‘indirect’ should ever be used in the same sentence with Tim Allen… lol
