I've got one something like that. I used to use it for chopping cornstalks. I have another one that is somewhat simular for Mangle beets. Mangle beets are something like sugar beets and grow huge. I had some that would be almost 2' long and 8" in diameter. They are red and keep real well in the basement of the barn all winter long. The cows love them and many people around here would raise Mangle beets before silos became popular. I would cut the tops (leaves) off and feed them to the cows too and they would grow back again. In the fall I would pull them up and wash them and store them in the basement of the barn. I would then chop them up with a square point shovel, until I found a beet chopper and feed them to the cows. I think what you have is a stalk chopper and they work good for chopping corn stalks. Mine is motorized and works good for chopping sweet corn stalk after picking off the corn. The beet chopper is a little different. You put the beets in a trough on the side and the knives on the drum spin and slice the beets then they drop out below. Mangles and sugar beets make good feed in the winter for a small herd of cows. It's a lot of work but great feed. Mangle beet seed is still available in some of the seed catalogs.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
