Well, I finally sprang for one. A Sears (no shame) 4.5 hp (probably a lie) 3 wheeler, over 5 years old , for $100, via CraigList.
A "well engineered" but thin-metal special , probably retailed for $200 when new.
A 6.5 inch blade, but I see the room for a 9 incher.....
Then , I'll have to learn how to sharpen this little 6.5" blade.
This, thus far works OK for the straight cuts ...the curved cuts are hopeless unless I can engineer two swivel wheels onto the rear of the unit - somehow......seems possible.
