Hydraulic Limb Snipper

I bought one of these and use it in my grapple circuit. LIMBHOG.com It is not always a perfect cut but on my farm it does a great job. I can cut more in one hour that uses to take a full day.

Good video of the hog two questions .
Price of cource LOL
But does the bar have some sort of oiler?

While the limb clipper looks like a good idea I have a concer about it's use if you want to keep the trees healthy. Many people without pruning experience tend to cut the limb leaving too long a stub or cut too close to the trunk cutting off the branch collar. Either case is an invitation for disease and rot to get started.

If you are looking for healthy trees be careful how you prune them.

So what's the proper length?

Not exactly cheap at $2200 but if you had a lot of pruning to do it would be a nice bit of equipment to have.

In California News: Something like that could be used to reach into a manhole and snip all the fiber optic cables.

I sure could use something like this to cut down about 6 bushes on a bank that are up to 3 inches in diameter.

Whish I knew whereI could rent one for 2 or 3 hours.

Have you tried it out ?

The bar does have a self oiler. Like anything else there is a learning curve to using this. Proper position and blade angle yields very nice cuts. Very small diameter limbs will hang in the chain so it has to be spinning to get them. I bought a 8' extension and can cut reach most of the limbs I want cut.
