That should be the title of a thread on its' own. Equipment we used that we will probably never see again. Remember the Whiphammer?

Was that the doohickey you attached to a JD410 or the like; basically a big steel hammer on a leaf spring?

Like this?

I never got to run one of these; I did run a 973 a few times that was a heckuva house wrecker.

Yes and Yes. The 983 was a powerful machine.

Believe it or not I actually saw one this morning as I detoured around road construction traffic. It looked like it was for sale.
