[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 27734, member: 307"] I love my trailblazer, only 600 lbs (give or take) but still does a decent job of CAC gouging. I'm a pretty die hard Miller fan too. When my first trailblazer had @ 100 hours on it, 10 days old, the Miller company (not the dealer) calls me says my serial # range had a problem with the armature coming loose on the crank. They ask and I told them the hours to which they replied, it should have failed by now if it was going to. But they still wanted me to return it to have it checked. I was right in the the middle of my spring welding contract, a month long blitz, rebuilding site prep drags for the paper company that we pull for them, and I told them “I need that machine, we are using it daily.” That's why we bought it, (our old 200 amp Canox, which is build by miller was still running well, its a 1986, wish it had a meter) good but we needed a second machine. So they told me keep running it, there is a new one on a truck, when you get it up and running, then ship us the other one back. Which I did with 147 hours on it. I'll be long time forgetting that level of service. Not sure where they sell the recalled ones, but that would have been a good welder for someone. The old welder has a Onan, which has been a good motor, I bought a Kohler this time just to get the OHV. If it runs a many years as that onan has I'll still be a loyal customer. Ken [/QUOTE]
