Limbsaw
Limbsaw

The front-loader-mounted Limbsaw consists of a commercial-grade chainsaw at the end of an 8-foot-long folding mast that attaches on the loader bucket of a tractor, skid steer, or backhoe and runs off its auxiliary hydraulics. Fully extended, the device can reach 18-20 feet above ground level, the sawed limbs falling in front of the loader, while the operator sits in the machine. The saw itself features 5,000 rpm cutting power, reverse motor to back out of 'pinches,' self-oiling capability, and built-in chain-tensioning system.

Caution symbol Caution Notes: Tasks like tree felling, brush clearing, log splitting, and wood cutting are dangerous, and utmost caution should be used to protect the operator and bystanders. Follow the recommendations of the equipment/tool manufacturer for proper use and for necessary protective equipment needed for safe operation.
