The whole collector is driven off of a BAG on a Versaplanetary with.....

I actually don't remember what the reduction in the VP gearbox is, I'll check whenever I end up back at the shop.

Lucas should be back here to answer any questions about the printers we use.

Just pointing out how amusing it is that you're the MetalCrafters, and you have plastic gears.
