    Hi Mike!!😀😀
    You did a great job on the Uper bundler 6000 !!😀😀👍👍
    Kinda looks a little bit like the one Tony had at the frenzy. LOL!!
    I'm sure you took a little pattern design from it. But I won't tell if you don't. LOL!!
    Now you can go into business building them. The only thing is you will have to find a bunch of old arians snow blowers.
    Take care my friend!!😀😀👍👍💚💚

    No - this one is electric, cost nowt as well - and it's only the "mucking about" version - the next one will eat wood & spit bundles - they're built all wrong, including my one ^ - there's no need for any of the complexity & no need for the fancy shape. It can be done simpler & powered - I'll bang a video of the "not mucking about" version soon. Here's the current version: ruclips.net/video/ZvXk0rx43Fk/видео.html Wrap cost for volume is a factor - smaller, less & tighter wrap cuts costs - if you aim for a 4" roll putting on a 2" wrap when stretched to the max, your wrap cost becomes negligible.
