Limbhog Tree-Trimming Attachment

The Limbhog Tree-Trimming Attachment is an 8-foot mast with receiver that holds a commercial-grade chainsaw. It mounts directly to the front-end loader of a tractor, skid steer, or backhoe and works off of the machine’s auxiliary hydraulics. The Limbhog runs at 5,000 rpm and can cut 5-inch diameter limbs in 2 seconds. When cut, the limbs can be pushed by the loader bucket into a pile for later pick-up. The Limbhog is equipped with a self-oiling system, weighs 78 pounds, and has a chain-reversing feature to back out of a pinch or bind.
