How do you carry your chainsaw ?

[ovrszd]

This is what I use to carry my small saw. haven't worried about bending the bar. But I've not tried carrying the big saw this way.

I like the scabbard ideas shown here and will make something like that next. I've found it necessary to carry more than one saw, with the scabbard two of them could be made in the same area.

My first effort was a box for the saw, but it quickly filled with leaves and twigs as much time is spent in the forest brush hogging, dozing brush and fallen trees, logging, etc.

Then I came up with the hangar idea. The saw is protected by the brush guard and has never fallen off, but is less than ideal because the saw teeters back and forth on the hangar. Notice the crow bar stored. I also have places for bar oil, saw gas, chain file and combination wrench.

I purchased the Kolpin chainsaw press and it mounted perfectly to my ROPS using a 2 inch square U-bolt. I even found some nice GREEN plastic covers for the exposed threads on the mounting bolts!

...by the handle - the chain hurts my hand.

Good thinking. I'll have to suggest that to the Mrs. I'm tired of buying her new gloves.

Based on a thread somewhere around here I bought a Kolpin and used two u bolts to hold in on my rops. It worked out so good the next day I ordered a 2nd one so now I can easily carry 2 chainsaws. It's flawless, as I'm sure some of the others are. Glad you all posted this stuff for me

I take it that you never put the ROPS up?

I would suggest NOT just putting it in your bucket. It is theoretically possible that the saw could bounce out and get run over by the tractor. Theoretically....JayC

I do carry mine in the bucket, still. Although nowadays I put a big orange cone in too so that I can see it sticking up out of the bucket and remember I have stuff in the bucket.

I had a brain fart one time and dropped the bucket, picked up a load of dirt and rocks and transported it to another location and only realized I forgot the chainsaw was still in the bucket after I dumped it. Had to disassemble the entire saw to get all the impacted dirt and pebbles out of it. The wonder is I didn't destroy it.

In the bucket of the tractor along with a jug of gas and a jug of chain oil.

That's correct. I have flat ground and LOTS of trees...that ROPS will catch a limb and bring the front end 3 feet off the ground in a HURRY....safer to leave it down.

In a carry-all. This is what I based mine on (see link below). Made a few mods. Added a tail gate and made it so tail gate would store behind folding sides (self contained)

I've done the same thing basically.. had the saw on a load of wood in the bucket, then forgot about the saw and 'dumped' it with the wood. Lucky, like you, no damage.
I used to carry it secured by the bar, but bent the bar the first or second time I ran over a stump. Got to put on a chassis mount.

I can carry up to three chainsaws each in their individual holders.

I carry my Stihl MS 362 CM in a holder mounted on the right side FEL frame. I carry my MS 440 Magnum and my Husky 350 both in their holders on my carry-all that's attached to my BB.

Here's a pic showing all three holders, although the Husky is not mounted. After getting my MS 362 CM, I don't have much use for the Husky.....

Let's see, 2 chainsaws, fuel, an AR, if you only had a coffee maker, you'd be all set.
