This machine was originally purchased by the Broughton Psychiatric Hospital in Morganton, NC. They owned it until very recently when it was auctioned off. The person who bought it at the auction was going to convert this machine to single phase, then decided he didn't want to and posted it for sale. I purchased it from him. It came with a 3/8" x 1.5" chain and bar. The drive motor is 7.5 hp, and the motor that drives the hydraulic pump is 1 hp. Northfield stopped making these machines in 2004.
