Interesting video but it leaves many questions unanswered. - How long does it take to stop the blades turning in an emergency situation? - How does it affect the weight distribution on an ATV? - Should there be a counterweight on the back of the ATV? - What are the maximum slopes and side slopes that an ATV can work on? - Will the blades jam if they encounter a piece of wood too large? If so, what happens within the driveline? - It appears that the operator does not have a clear view of the material about to be cut. If he encounters a large rock, there will be bits of shattered saw blades flying in all directions. What protection is built in for the operator?
@@stoutdesigns7495 A few years ago, when the system asked me to pick a user name, I wittily chose Anonymous thinking that it would surely reject it, or that someone else had already used it. I'm stuck with it now. In any event, one of our cousin RV clubs has bought one of these saws and our club will learn from their experience before pulling out our wallet. Cheers.
@@Rasteell No problem. I think you will be impressed. Is it perfect? No, but it really makes fast work of trail grooming. Additional counter-weighting may be required depending on the ATV. The TRAILBLAZER weighs 130 lbs. and about 65% of it is off center. I typically add weight to the back of my ATV if i know i'm going to cut on off camber terrain. I also make a quick stop brake (less than 2 seconds) that can be added if you need it in your area. I have sold very few of them.

I will gladly respond to comments from a public user not anonymous.

@@stoutdesigns7495 about 13-15 years ago I worked for a gentleman in a metal fabrication shop. He designed and built and sold several of these. 😬😬
