Saying hello, me and my turbosawmill

[Rob D]

I looked at these a while ago, didn't get one.

It's a very expensive toy.

It comes without an engine

It needs a very loud, thirsty, inefficient, polluting 2-stroke.

Limited capacity

Limited portability

 

These were reasons for me not to, obviously your decision making was different and I hope it works well for you. You certainly seem to have pride and joy with it, which are priceless.

 

 

We looked at importing them when they came out - too expensive for what they are IMHO.

 

Used to own a Peterson WPF - superb machine for what it could do - max cut was 8" and the engine had to work to cut that:

 

 

 

• this had a Honda twin 27HP engine

• 090 has 13HP I believe

• MS880 has 8.6HP and most will be using with an MS880

 

So a third of the power that the large Peterson have to do the same cut.

 

 

Not saying that it doesn't do the job - it does - but the price compared with functionality will mean it will never sell in high numbers (again IMO).
