How do you like your jobber??

[CBOYER]

I like it. its a very light unit, only 6.5 hp honda motor, since the frame could separate in two parts, it's easy to bring anywhere directly where you want to saw. Unit dont need to be level, but you need to check for "twisting" of frame, to cut even.

All wood of the sugarhouse was saw whit it. only door and windows came from previous home renos.

I have buy this unit second, and i have cut all
the wood whit old re-sharpen blades. This fall, i buy new Lennox blades for it, and wow! it goes a lot easier and faster. I have cut Balsam fir, Hemlock and Tamarak whit it.
