Chainsaw and chain holder

[Gordon Gould]

You could compromise maybe?? If you want a chain slide the saw up 6" and tighten your clamp to hold it there while you get the chain you want. Then let the saw down. Might seem better than a rework. Your the only one who has to like it. By the way - very nice work.

I wanted a chainsaw holder for a "new-to-me" trailer I bought last year,,

I decided rubber would work better than other materials,, the best part, it was done in 30 minutes,,,

The holder fits any of my saws, even the Stihl 660,,,

Cobbled together rubber version.

Diesel Crawler - You mean like this cobbled together setup on my B21 - it works though!

Yours is high class...you even painted the plywood! Mine, made out of plywood, and exposed to weather because the tractor hasn't been parked inside the barn in 2 1/2 years due to a truck project taking up inside space, is looking quite sad.

With our farm the use of tractor, chainsaw and chain together very often thus the need to safely carry.


First gen saw/chain holder with Kubota B26. 5x5” steel tube, 1/2” bottom welded to loader upright. Note alignment of tube to loader frame for clearance issues. Can clamp saw up to access chains. Has worked very well for a small tractor. Took less time to fabricate, but each tractor is different.

Nice work Smokey!!! And if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to pick the M59 up with a crane this attachment would certainly be considered strong enough!!!!

I really like the half moon drains in the tube sides. That's much better than holes in the bottom. As you said, these are easy to clean out and debris won't lodge itself in them.

P.S. You only made one mistake so far, nuts on the wrong side??? That's very good!!!!

Great work Sd. Lots of craftsmanship there. I am puzzled however by you guys who carry your chainsaws on your front loader posts. I might be able to see a mount behind it or between the loader arm. If I showed you what my posts look like after years of logging and going through dense woods, one would understand that I would have destroyed a chainsaw if I put one there.
Must be something different with technique or lay of the land. Perhaps I'm too reckless an operator.

I agree. I have a chain box fastened to the upright on left side. But I wouldn't consider hauling my saw there. I must be careless right there with you....

Here's the carrier on my old L4400. Same type on my M9540.

Edit: To defend the OP, he's got an M59. His hoe would be in the way for any carrier located where mine is.

That would be a safer set up Richard for me as well. I have mine mounted behind my seat. I like yours better.

I would say it is most likely technique coupled with the fact you don't use a winch. Speaking for myself only here. I have a saw mounted behind the post and the saw is inside the outline of the tractor but I still don't have slash and branches rubbing down the sides of the tractor. I keep the tractor trails clear. It is more work but I respect the fact that it is a tractor not a skidder and I don't want it stove in for no reason. The fact that I have normal tractor tires not forestry tires is the biggest reason I don't drive in the slash. Minimal under armor is next. If you price forestry tires you can justify a winch pretty quick. You can criticize me for wasting time and energy making tractor trails, keeping them clear, and keeping the tractor on them. Or call me a wimp and say I baby my tractor. That's fine with me. But don't criticize me for setting up my tractor in a manner that is a good match for the way it is used. Thank you.
