Been on the hunt for one of these for a while,well ever since repairing one two years ago and trying it behind the van
,and surprisingly,the mechanic who located that one ,also found me one,well eventually,coincidentally the architect who owned this knew me as I’d supplied steelwork to his drawings,small world.

Is there one big reaper blade rotating under there?
How big?
Maybe a quadruple blade?
How much power does that engine provide?
that's the spirit! 
Nice sunday all

Not today, it arrived yesterday, but I used it properly for the first time today. A Makita 18V orbital sander, it replaced my 20 year old Bosch mains one that over sped and threw chunks of the backing pad off a week or so ago. TBF to it I was given it as broken about 15 years ago.
The 18V one is excellent, it does the job and runs for longer than I want on a part used 3Ah battery.

44” single blade,about 13hp,Briggs and Stratton.

If I see the picture correctly, the engine is behind the axle, i.e. behind the centre
- there will probably be a reduction (3600 or 3000 rpm mower blade speed would probably not be healthy anyway),
but even with "only" 1000 rpm of the blade, that would be - if I'm not completely wrong -
at a blade length of about 1.4m a speed of the blade tip of about 264kph ...
... so with sufficient engine speed, nothing should remain standing when you've rumbled over it ...
Well done, Jan!

It runs for about 20 minutes on a freshly charged 3Ah battery. And using it for that long hasn't made my fingers tingle like the 240V did.

Cordless sanders are great bits of kit to have.

It looks like a sandbag.
Didn't Spong use two discs with holes (one fixed, one rotating), whereas Porkert use a rotating blade + a disc with holes? Might very well be wrong here.

Think it's the Porkert that mum had ? I remember it had several discs with different size holes. It also had an attachment for making sausages
. Think it might still be at her house.

They're great. My mum had one for years, worked a treat. Don't know what happened to it. We got a modern version of the same thing but it's not a patch on mum's one.

As the yanks are supposed to have said " Improvement leads to deterioration"
