Wasn't that a gigantic turbocharged snow-blower?

I have found a Joe Buckley in John Ringo's zombie apocalypse series that starts with 'Under A Graveyard Sky'. Don't think I've seen him die yet. John must be saving up something REAL special.


It's been quite a while since I have read that one, but now that you point it out, I believe that you are correct. I guess I just defaulted to combine since I've seen what happens when deer goes through one of them and haven't been around any big snow blowers.

Never seen anything go through a combine, but I saw some critter get run over when I was pulling a forage harvester behind a tractor. Kind of a 'thunk' and the hay turned red for a second. What's a forage harvester, you ask?

Picture a rounded steel housing about 12 feet wide and four feet high containing a drive shaft with four banks of about 40 L-shaped blades, spinning at around 3,000 RPM. The blades are each about a foot long, two inches wide and 3/8 inch thick, bent in an L shape about four inches from the end, swinging free from the drive shaft.

That beast will chop up everything in its path and toss it to the back of the housing where an auger feeds it into a blower that shoots it into a wagon hitched to the back end. A zombie would make a big THUNK and a lot of chopped-up pieces would fly out. It would slow the drive shaft down for a few seconds before the PTO spun it back up. Next!

Here is a short video of one moving snow off railroad tracks (nothing was killed or injured, so far as I know, in the making of this film).

I guess you could call Joe Buckley the ultimate Redshirt!
