Lucky you.
I’m guessing that that injury wasn’t sustained from reading the user manual.
I hope you develop a better relationship with your new machine as your finger heals.

You win the prize. I have a nice Troybilt CS 4325 I have used for 9 years where an orangatan couldnt reach the blades. Now it has issues and I would gladly have bought another for $1000 except they stopped makeing them. Next summer I will try to fix/replace the magnito or carb....cant decide which is the problem but it wont run on starting fluid. I do get a spark if I pull the plug and ground the threads and pull the starter....

So is muscle memory of feeding 100 trees into a chipper for 9 years where there is no way you could reach the bladesBeing tired and operating power machinery has always been a recipe for disaster.

If it uses a fairly standard-form engine, you could just re-power it.

I thought about that. The old one leaks about half its oil in 25 min and wont run now. There is lots of wrenching to get to its innards I dont want to do in the winter. There are lots of engines in the brigs and stratton family that look like mine so I would have to find the right one but they are $500. Still an option.

I've got a tiller and snow blower like that. I picked up a Harbor Freight engine in their Black Friday sale that I hope will fit the blower.
