That's a new one for me, too. What's the story on the turbomatic, Floyd?

 

[j-jock]

I wouldn't mind finding a Pioneer P51, or larger, to bookend my Pioneer saws. I would also like a Mac 125.

Does the Turbo-Matic actually use a fluid coupling?

[Yukon Stihl]

Yes it’s supposed to be like a tourqe converter I have heard.
I doubt there are any manuals on them
A short production run.

 

[camel2019]

IEL 2 man saw any at this point and a IEL JA/JB/JC or pioneer 800 and of course the pioneer p51 and p61.

Not much known about these saws.
Rumor has it less than 100 were manufactured sometime in the 1950s.
I'm not aware of any advertising nor have I seen a manual for one if these saws. It also has exhaust heated handle bar.

It has a small torque converter just like in a turbo 350 transmission. I was told by a reliable source that the drive would over heat during summer usage as to why very few were manufactured. It also has exhaust heated handle bar.

It's a bit of a mystery. All I know is they were manufactured in Canada and it's like a ghost saw far as paper information.
