I spent alot of time around Ludy Shedas when I was younger saw them in action but didnt pay much attention to the mechanics of it . Much of learning curve to them ? How do they work on messed up hides such as holes and what not. How many can a guy expect to do in an hr ? Thanks

I had one for awhile, they in my mind are slow. I had the blade type. I could do more per hr by hand fleshing. You still have to hit the armpit area usually after the machine, I went back the hand method. My honest opinion probably 15 an hr with the machine once ya get good at it. Hides with holes ya have to be careful and learn to work the holes. AND yes a bit of a learning curve but not bad. Nice thing is they take the neck off nice, but any burr, blood spot, anything will cut the hide.

Ludy had the impeller type little easier on blood burrs ie less holes. I have the knife machine. Learning curve bout like anything more ya do better ya get. If you leave the front legs long you can scrape armpits clean. Iowa coon probably 10 to 12 per hour. By hand is faster although you trim window and legs on machine and all thats left is to stretch. Easier on whole body but hard on hand that squeezes. Worked with one for bout 25 yr. Love mine but teachin my son to learn by hand. Hard to find parts.
