I wonder how often he has to rotate those things?

I have one just like that, & it is a very dependable saw . . . although there is the issue of keeping tire pressure just right . . . you might call it pneumatic blade tensioning . . . there is the problem of the washing machine motor changing from spin to rinse . . . . cuts you speed down a great deal. . . .
