Me, or the Rodenator? In the videos, they appear to do an effective job.
Yet a couple of times, you see the operator take a face shield full of dirt.
They use full face shields and ear protection, but anything that will blow
dirt fifty feet in the air will blow a rock fast enough to put a hurt on
you.
I've done this four times now, and learned enough to reconfigure the device.
It's getting to be gopher time around here, and I want to arrive at a final
design so I can try to make some money with this. I already have a couple
of ranchers interested. I just want it to work when I go out to do it, and
not have any nasty surprises.
