I have since upgraded hydraulic pumps to a tandem set of Italian 8.8cc pumps with dual suction instead on the single suction on the original tandem 4.6cc pumps, which should hopefully give me abit more flow for the motor, and am also now thinking 12v linear actuator for pivot with a dial to...

Hi I've been busy with work for the last month so not much more time to play with it at the moment, the saw can be taken off quite easily and still used however I removed the original handle and manufactured up a custom manifold block for hoses in and out as it gave me an extra 7 inches or so...

All run off the one set of hydraulic controls that is why control valves and non return valves needed to be fitted, still in the testing phases but very close to finished... I have bent a couple of bars while getting settings right 🤣, luckily I have only be using old worn out ones for the...

Smokeydog, I have put these flow control valves on that ram of mine to adjust drop rate of cylinder, you could install the same or similar to control flow to saw if you needed

Hi everyone, I gave the saw grab a quick trial run, just gotta set limits and flows then start fabrication of guards, and extend alter the log forks about so saw handle and hoses clear the ground when say is in rest position, video is to large to post so here is my link to the first trial run on...

Hi everyone, I made a little more progress today, it's getting closer , once guards and hydraulics are done I'll make a extended linkage for the thumb to get it at the right angle and also fabricate a whole new beak for it similar to a hardwood fork grab 👍👍

Hi all I know I've been trying to find more info on small logging cut off saws myself with not much luck so decided yesterday to start building my own, the saw unit attaches over the thumb, I'm using a hyd drive pole saw I got on market place for $300 and will use a small ram and sequence valve...
