The Tumbleweed
TumbleWeed Leaf Trimmer Machine - home
I have been a grower for almost fifty years and I have waited for each new innovation to come along with great anticipation, after halide/sodium lighting and nutrients there have been few.
For anyone who has spent long days and longer nights manicuring their well grown beauties, and have said to themselves with red eyes, sticky hands and groggy brains "there just has to be a better way", relief may well be in sight.
I am counted among good manicurist and can do, depending on strain, a pound in 3 to 5 hours.
The tumbleweed, even in inexperenced hands can do between 5 to 7 pounds an hour (maybe more), depending on how many times the herb is run through the machine, in other words how well manicured you want it, with little loss of resin off fresh green herb.
What an innovation! what used to take 15 sticky people weeks to accomplish now takes 3 to 4 sticky people days to do.
Shade leaves are pulled and buds are striped from stalks then put straight into the hopper of the quiet machine, bud rolls through a central tube where knives remove the leaf where it is chopped up and blown into a large cloth bag at the other end, and the bud rolls out the end of the tube.
I have tried other types of trimmers from big red to the Centurion(real noisy) and the tumbleweed is by far the best, to be fair I have not tried the rolling thunder, but it has no brush to clean the tumbler, as the tumbleweed does, so I imagine it gums up quite a bit. At 11,000 dollars wholesale (canadian) it is only for those of us who have larger than average crops to tend.
