Glad to see you have been using it, I understand about the constant modifications...lol Looks good, get a guard over your saw blade though please

I buy a ton of Pioneer from Surplus Center, haven't had an issue with any of them yet.

I've had this 4" x 14" stroke cylinder kicking around for 10 years. I got to looking at tree shears online and decided since I already have front remote, why not? LOL I was gifted a piece of cutting edge from the local highway dept. which I used for the blade. A little work with the plasma...
