Bucking machine?

Does anyone have any experience using a bucking machine?
For trimming I use a twister t4, I do the trimming by myself and my garden is pretty large. My last run was 27lbs dry. That being said it takes over a week of trimming 12 hour days.
Looking at maybe investing in a bucking machine to speed the process. Centurion offers one but its 4000, before i spend that kind of cash I'd like to know if it's worth it

@doublejj might know a thing or 2

Mate if you're pulling 27 elbows why you whinging about splashing out 4k? Haha.

Nah man I feel your pain. I'm pulling 10ish a run and still hand trimming the majority... Have a small auto trimmer for popcorn.

When I expand and build another room I'll be investing in a good quality trimmer.

They make bucking attachments called "debudder edge" I think it is, but may not be suitable for what you want.

If a bucking machine is going to save you alot of time then it's a no brainer mate.

Pics of your setup?

Cuz I'm a cheap ass and have too many kids lol!

Very sexy mate. Good effort.

What lights you running there? Big tall plants for LED, very nice. Gave me a hard on.

We are still HID lover's down here in Australia, I'm slowly moving to the dark side of LED.

Thanks! Yeah u gotta make the switch to gavita or fluence LED. They are real expensive but worth it. I used to run 18 600w hps in that room, now I'm running 4 fluence and 8 gavitas, drawing 1/3 less electric and pulling 40% more yield with better quality.
I would recommend the gavitas over the fluence. The yield is the same but every one of my fluence lights failed within a year....the driver/ballasts are shit. Fortunatley my shop has a pallet of ballasts and they were warrantied.
