A BTO showed me a picture of one two weeks ago and said he needed one asp.
Did a test run yesterday, made a few changes today and stripped a 30 gal tub full in 10 min.

I watched it, but I am kinda confused as to what it does! ---- looks like stuff going in and coming out the other side. Could you explain what actually is being harvested?--Thanks!

It separates the leaf/bud from the stem.
The leaf/bud is were CBD oil comes from.
Even the stem has value as bedding or fiber.
The BTO workers don't like the stripper. It makes them work faster than they want to.
And, on dry hemp, it cleans 95%+ of the leaf/bud off the stem, were by hand they only get 80% or so of the leaf/bud off.
And that 15% of loss per day is = to $500 or more per worker in lost yield.
