Very cool, I guess I should get a video camera :)
 
Holy! That looked like quite the work out!!!
Again, than you for your efforts in ALL your videos Jim!

David I would love to see YOUR videos as well!!
 
Very cool.....but for some reason,when I read the link, I thought you were going to be
chopping through a truck.... (4x4) :o

It's been a long day....lol
 
How did it compare to the BWM?

How about FFBM and NMFBM?

I'm guessing the extra weight on the FFBM and NMFBM helped them chop much better.

Here is my video that I made before of the NMFBM chopping though the same 4x4, if you watch them back to back you can see. ;)

Weight does make a difference once things get heavy and dense.

The BWM is not in the same league.

Nice. That was quite a hard 4x4.

I do think I will miss the forward handle tube, for my lanyard. How do you like the lanyard through the talon hole?

Is the handle big enough for your hands? I wear a 2xl glove, and they are normally tight.
 
Wow, Jim, that was a lot of work to go to, but using the same 4x4 with both the NMFBM and B11 really makes for an apples-to-apples comparison. Thanks a million for that! :thumbup:

Super job!

I miss the front tube also. :)

The hole on the Basic 11 works Ok, but I would rather have the tube. :D

Yeah it was the video I made before. :D :thumbup:
 
I look at the B11 as a brush clearer more than a chopper/splitter. I'll have to get one to really know though.

It's a chopper/splitter IMO. It chops better than the DF and is on par with the CGFBM IMO. Not quite as good as the FFBM and not as good as the NMFBM. The comfort factor vs the NMFBM is definitely a winner, and makes up for what it lacks in raw power.
 
Ankerson Have you taken your sharpmaker to the B-11 yet? I know you have reprophiled the NMFBM but a thinner edge to the B-11 would obviously make it bite a lot deeper and bring the performance of the two closer together.

Nice vids by the way. I really love to see these monsters in action.
