"Gorrilla" might have used optimistic math; I'd guess the "spinning tube of death" will hold closer to 18-20 orbit balls at one time.
i renamed it the "thresher"

4wd, we figured wheels at the front edge would'nt be needed?

its 5.5 balls around, and theres 4 levels on the spiral and they squish quite easily


ps.its 59 inches tall....

you should see how stiff it is since Craig welded, it nearly impossible to flex it

IF we can find pool noodles....
