A New Kind of Portal

[Bmadda]

Man, that is legit!

I actually thought it was cool on many levels! My favorite part is where he said something to the effect of "we decided not to bother with rear brakes because the rear brakes on these cars don't work anyways". I think if I was gonna do a "portal" riding lawnmower I would use a timing belt (like from a civic 4cyl) instead of a chain. Requires no lube, would be resistant to dirt, and with his "open" design easy to inspect and service! Really kinda slick hillbilly engineering!

I was thinking timing belt too...

Look up Gates Polychain. Those belts are insane.

Real life dynamic testing vs a game!

If you think real life is more accurate than a low quality physics game, I just don't know what to tell you.

I can't stand when small businesses owners call themselves CEO. You aren't a Fortune 500, please stop.

Anyways. ..

Next broncbuster video-

“Our new chain-driven portals can handle rolls at 85 mph but you don’t even need to worry about it because chains are quieter than straight cut gears, even on a trailer! No noise, no distractions, no rolls. Also, we aren’t concerned with silly alloy combinations as our Chinese forges tell us that will add too much to the cost. And our customers want cheap products! Murica!”

All I see is portals make it a trailer rig.

seeing as my role pre-retirement was as the SME for a category of NDT (Non-Destructive Testing), i don't know why you think i favor simulation

i'll always believe an actual test result over simulation

Not mine! Never been on a trailer, and never will!

It's probably more economical for you to trailer it though.
