Is it possible to get a motorized version of this ground-breaking product? Also, it needs to be diesel powered, since I'm Amish.

Yes, there is an electrical banana slicer. You can use it because you're Polish, not Amish.

A banana does not seem a very "plain" sort of food item. Sure you are not Mennanite?

In some metropolitan areas, professionals who felt too time constrained to use the Hutzler manually, began to commission artisans to conjoin electric motors to the device. Simultaneously, emergency rooms began to report the first banana-slicer related injuries. Wisely the researchers collecting this data narrowed their study by considering only injuries caused by consumer products intended for fruit slicing. So the studies don't involve an accidentally misapplied potato, screwdriver, or hairbrush. The take-home is what most mentally-balanced readers would anticipate: use the Hutzler manually.

We have one out in the warsh-house but you can only use it when the wind is blowing.Its hooked-up to the windmill, so it is.We like to say it's an ill wind that don't slice a banana, once.

Mr. Wolinski, this is Elder Swartenzdruber. What is a plain brother like you doing on the computer using the English electricities?

I have tried it with nuclear power. It seems to work fine, but the banana slices do tend to glow in the dark.

With a bit of creativity, you can get it to run on cow manure, and we know your have access to lots of that, yes?

There is a Solar powered version (571S), but it can only slice bananas during the day.

I bought mine from Golden motor Canada,. Google it. They have a variety if items for the electric conversions. Although if you are not willing to wait on postal shipping can be pretty expensive. Also you can check out JS Greenmachine on eBay if he has them in stock it may be cheaper.

Sorry I never looked for parts because the motor was junk I figured the motor would be more than the mulcher was worth you might consider a leaf shredder with an external motor they look like wood chippers only smaller.a lot of companies make them and you can get parts very easily. The flowtron is pretty much a throwaway product.

My recommendation would be a variable power drill either corded or cordless that you can put a hose clamp on to vary the speed. They have a much greater range of variance without damage to the motor.

I believe you can lift ATV's with it. A lot of motorcycle jacks are listed for use with ATV's. I don't know about lawnmowers. I have seen other people rework motorcycle jacks to work better with their mc and other items they wanted to lift. I think the primary concerns are weight and stability.

They have one available but it is an option for about $40. It is a two wheel device that could easily be home made.

I dont think so, I'm sure its not designed for it. i doubt it has enough power anyway its a one cylinder engine. I've nearly gotten stuck in shallow sand,as it just tends to dig itself in.

As an additional thought, you can contact Graco in Minneapolis, MN. They have an international presence, and can probably supply an autovolt motor unit. Good luck!

Yes, to my recollection. Thing is getting it started. Just replaced mine, with broken transmission, with a Stihl at same cost. Starts easily, and can be purchased locally where it can be supported and serviced. Much stronger frame too - a real tool.

is that a gasoline engine or electric? Fits most weed wackers with gasoline engines of 25cc or larger. I think that B&D model is electric so I don't think this will work.

I bought a "clone" of this (same manufacturer, same exact device) through Home Depot (paint job only difference...mine is gray and orange). I got it a couple years ago...I am pretty sure they ship it with a container of oil to add to machine. If not, nothing special, just regular motor oil available at any auto parts or hardware store (off hand, guessing it would be 30 weight oil). Pretty happy with the machine. Only slight problem I had, the "feeder tube" that you put branches into, split on a seam. I was able to take it off and take to a local muffler shop that welded it up for a few bucks. Only other warning: pay attention to directions that say to make sure ALL wood is passed through the feeder before shutting off machine. If a small chunk is left and you try and restart it, it will jam the chipper blade and the drive belt will start smoking! Very small problems...looking forward to using mine again to chip up the accumulating branch pile I've got going.

I think you should be ok doing it, but it's like mowing your yard with an old hand rolling one non motorized one. You can do it, but you wont be efficient at all.

I would very much recommend a bigger motor. If you are on a budget, I'd recommend a used one with a bigger motor.

Did not purchase! Canceled order to much $$$.Got motorized, HD WITH MORE OPTIONS TO ADD ON for about the same $$. Look for battery motor first if O. K. GET PLUG IN AND KEEP battery one for away from home:I did.

Great idea. I'll check the site to find a manual. I should have thought of that myself!
