It saddened me to find out that it's a 300 mile round trip.

300 miles is about a 6 hour trip. That is one day. Leave early about 6
in the morning, be there by noon, and get home by 9pm that night.

I rented a 2012 Chevy Silvarado recently and drove it 700 miles from
Kent Ohio, south to east of Raleigh for $100 to the rental company and
about 50 dollars worth of gas. If it were a smaller truck, and a
weekend or other type of special rate the cost would be lower.

So assuming that you make the trip on a weekend, there would be no job
to worry about. Take a picnic lunch and stop at some pretty spot for
you and your significant other to have a picnic. You would have a day
to see a new part of the country. If you like take a large grandson to
help manhandle the saw.

So the question comes down to; "Is the Joiner worth the $550 investment".
