How do you carry your chainsaw ?

[Agent Blue]

Just had 35 acres logged and have a mess in the woods to clean. I know I can throw the chainsaw in the RTV 1100 box and go but I also use the TC55 NH for clean up ( when the saw gets the best of me and I need a break ). I don't want to drill holes in the loader mounts and it won't fit well on the Bradco backhoe. I would like to fashion something removable... maybe attach to the ROPS with a bracket. Before I go off the deep end in thought I would like some tried and ture solutions. Thanks in advance..

4" or 6" pipe pending on size of the bar/chain. attach pipe to tractor somehow, and then drop chain saw bar down into the pipe. may not be best approach but *shrugs*

I have a cab tractor and couldn't figure a good place to attach a scabbard. However, I have a scabbard on my carryall and one on my box blade and am planning on attaching one to the chute of my chipper as well. All are made from two pieces of PT 1X6 decking with thin plywood spacers along each edge.

I found a plastic drum about 12" in diameter that is about 28" long. I'm thinking of cutting the bottom open to slide the saw, gas, oil, and tools in mounting it at an angle. The top has a handle which will also make a good anchor point. For now its going on the box blade. The thought process continues for the backhoe. Certainly better than trying to hang on to it while driving..

The ATV dealership where I bought my quad has some assessories for the utility racks, there may be something similar that can be attached / removed from a tractor (pure speculation at this point - as I do not yet have a tractor) - the rachet clamp that I will be getting for the ATV is perfect for securing the weed whipper / brush cutter, but I think that I can also adapt it for my chainsaw. might be worth checking out the ATV dealerships.

CLICK HERE to see what I made. I have since made a Full Cage Rollbar
so I am seriously considering selling the pictured chainsaw holder
along w/ the Fire Extinguisher and bracket w/ hardware, turn-key,
packaged nice n' shipped.

If a guy has a stock BX25 and wants an Artisan Original that
will bolt on in 1 minute make me a offer via PM. It took a
lot of time to make. I won't be giving it away for penny$.

Artisan, that's a great looking chain saw holder.

Here's a pic of the one I fabbed up for my JD 790. It's a dual purpose bracket that holds the chainsaw and a fire extinguisher. I have a complete thread on this, but if you want to see more, you'll have to search for it, or I can find it for you.

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

I went the route suggested by scaredychicken - I bought an ATV mount that clamped right on my ROPS. It is made by Kolpin Powersports and I bought it from Canadian Tire

Does what I need and no drilling. Keeps me from putting my chainsaw somewhere I will damage it......

 

[Artisan]

Stewie1 if ya have a minute could you post a couple more pics
from other angles of that CS hanger please? Nice Job!

 

[Stewie1]

Artisan, here are a couple more shots I have on the computer......

Apart from wrapping bicycle inner tube sections around the ROPS, everything including the long clamping bolts were in the box!

Another freshly installed shot


And a couple in the field
.

The chainsaw bar is clamped between 2 foam pads and the body of the saw rests on a third - the saw will not come loose even if you roll over....

You can also tightly close the clamp when ther is no saw in it

Hope this helps, I can take specific shots if there is something specific you would like to see.

 

[Artisan]

NICE Thank You SO MUCH! I appreciate it.
NOW I see whats what...Good Job!

Just finished my chainsaw holder on a L3940 and I attached couple pictures for reference. I drilled just one additional hole into the side of the platform. The other anchor point is a sheet metal bracket which engage with the FEL pivot point; overall pretty solid build. I tried to match the Kubota color but seams quite different. Not happy with the chain saw which drips chain oil in this position, even adjusted to minimum, not too much but drips.

p.s.: all the credits to the forum where I found the concept.

simple deal and a box for chains.
