Chainsaw Holder/Carrier--Show me yours

[stuart]

Was looking for a way to carry my saw with me around the property. Came up with this idea having seen someone make a scabbard for their saw from scrap wood. Then I anchored it in the arm for the FEL.

Very nice. Mine is still on the To-Do List....

 

[jayste]

Nice job! :thumbsup:

Talking about chainsaws, I have switched to Enviro Oil which is vegetable based. As I am taking pride in my property why would I want to spray mineral based oil all over the grass and trees. So I switched to vegetable based oil. If I am cutting in a wood yard and the wood is for the stove then mineral base is less money to buy.

Awesome! how long of a bar can you put into that sucker?

Nice job on your scabbard.

I've one on the ROPS for my 20" bar.
Really like it, as the saw is always where I am, and not sitting on the ground somewhere that it can get driven over and that I have to walk to get it.

i was wondering if you could do me a big favour i have a couple of
FEL uprights for the 4200 which it appears you have and i am looking at building the rest of the FEL i was just wondering if you would be willing to take some picks of it for me.


thanks in advance

Thanks fellas for the accolades. The original idea for my scabbard came from someone on this site. Placement on the tractor that would not interfere with operation was the trick.
Solsburg; My saw is 18" long but you could put at least a 22" saw in my scabbard.
Beenthere: You need to paint that thing green. Just kidding because I know you will.
Ryan; I am not sure what you want me to take photos of exactly.

Hadn't thought about that until I posted the pic and also saw how good yours looked. I may get that done today.

I only worry about mine hanging out of the scabbard when I'm in the woods and on a hillside. Sometimes the trees get close to the saw.
Yours is more protected, but don't think I want mine anywhere other than easy to get too when I'm behind the tractor working.

That is very cool! And my favorite brand (chainsaw that is :laughing

Beenthere-My scabbords are much the same as Stuard's, but one on each side. I find it easy to get the saws out from the tractor OR the ground. Granted my BIG saw is only a 026.
I find that its better to have the saw up where I can watch them when in heavy brush, that way I can tell that I'm about to drive off without one.....
Now if I could just find a good spot for the gas, oil and wedge...

Been using 100% corn oil from grocery store for bar oil, it has a higher flash point and better for the environment

Wife asked why I had a picture of my tractor with different saw
its a great spot for the saw
I didn't build mine till I crushed one saw I har in the bucket

Yeah, there in lies the reason I have not yet built scabbords, besides the time...
I usually have 2 saws, a 16" limber and a 32" feller plus gas and oil... So I end up needing to haul stuff in the bucket anyway. Plus finding a way to store a 32" saw is tricky.
The loader uprights are a nice idea but larger saws would block egress to the right (which I had to do in a hurry the other day due to an unseen hornets nest!).
I can't use the ROPS because I often have the backhoe on, especially when logging.

A scabbord for my rifle is higher priority right now due to the explosion of gophers and squirrels we are having. Argh!!

Guess I am really not contributing here...just whining...but I feel better now

Yup! This is mine on my 990.

 

[stuart]

Perfect location for your saw. NOW paint it green.

 

[easygo]

I went with a different location. It holds chainsaw, logging chains, gas, wedges, helmet, chaps, rope and some other small stuff. Works for me.

 

[BayouMan]

Easygo,
Great looking carrier for your saw and everything else you would need for a trip to the woods. Looks like a lot of thought went into that build!

A little off subject, but what are the two orange plates by your left lift arm for? I see the upper one has numerous holes in it. Is that for some special attachment?

Have saw - Will travel.

I need to do this on my 855. I have a project awaiting my attention where I'll be using the FEL and have teh rotary on the back which means no place for the saw(s), gas, oil & chains which I will need.
