Curing Rack revisted

I've been looking around for ways better to cure tobacco than stringing it leaf per leaf. Has anyone ever used a frame like this before?

It's just a rack system, Amax used something similar last year.

My office computer is blocking the videos but try a stringing horse. I can tie about 80 leaves in anout 5 minutes.

Stringing them works great for a lot of varietys. I'm not as fast as JBD. Silver river and virginias, is what I have used it for mostly, twistig 3 sometimes 4 leaves together with no mold problems in my climate.. It works best in a curing area protected from high winds. Each year it gets easier for me no matter the metod because there is less work involved if you save and reuse your materials and learn from previous experience.
