How do you carry your chainsaw ?

[ryantowry81]

a family friend of mine makes these:
Byte Tyte Chainsaw Scabbards - Byte Tyte Chainsaw Scabbards

I have one I need to mount on my TC40DA

 

[rd_macgregor]

My home-made scabbards are mounted more-or-less vertically, but I can see how the clamping action on the Byte Tyte might be handy in horizontal or shallow-sloped installations.



I have a similar one mounted on the chute of my chipper.

for what it's worth I adapted an Arctic Cat ATV chainsaw scabbard to my 2650. Works well.

Eventually I'll put on scabbard on the tractor, but in the meantime, I either carry it in a scabbard on my carry all I built or carry it in the scabbard I built into my ballast box. Pics are attached and video links are below.

Hi all...



This is really handy and I don't forget that it's in the bucket!

Take care,

John

I built this box out of scrap angle iron I had laying around and some scrap wood. if I did it again I would have made it narrower by a foot or so. I have forks for the 3 pt as well as the loader. Having the ability to set it down near my work site and use the loader to stack logs etc works well for me. My tractor is an open station 5400 JD which is about the biggest tractor I would use in the woods. The box is 7 or so feet wide - the same width as my tires so I'm always bumping into trees but it works for now.
The other mod would be to move the saw holders more toward the middle of the box to keep them away from branches etc

I use the box for all kinds of general carry all type work around the farm, having the ability to drive into the shop and drop it with the saws etc on it and just grab it the next morning for more work is nice to.

Another happy SawHaul user. Just mounted mine a couple of weeks ago...really simple straight to the loader.....

I gave up trying to mount one on my big Deere where it wouldn't be in the way or get torn up so I made this to mount one on my Mule. It's made from scrap 3/8" polyethylene dump truck bed liner. Easy on the chain and doesn't rattle.

Talk to me about the shelter for your tractor. What brand is it, and where did you get it? Is it durable? Did you reinforce it in any way? How did you anchor it?
Would you buy it again?
Thanks

I have a new tractor so I had to find a new place to mount my saw. I decided to mount it to my quick hitch.



My old tractor had it mounted to the ROPs - but this one has too many things in the way to put it there again.

Now that I have a new electric Stihl, I need to fab a mount for it. Love this thread.

I have been thinking for years about mounting my chainsaw somewhere on the tractor, and this summer I finally mounted my chainsaw on the tractor.

I added a platform to the Box Blade w/ 1/4" plate (which serves as weight using using the Box Blade), added my poor mans grapple for skidding logs, and I also added an ATV storage box.

Nice, but how do you carry your:

2 cycle gas - (Optional depending on duration)
bar oil - (Optional depending on duration)
Scrench - Needed it only 10% of the time, but 100% of the time if you DON'T bring it.
Log Peavy - Needed 85% of the time if I want to keep chain out of dirt, or
Hand File and Stump Vise
Wedges - Needed only 10% of the time, but 100% of the time if you DON'T bring them or a 2nd saw.
Hammer - Needed for wedges and vise.
Chain & or Cable
Cutting Chaps - Optional, depending on how lucky one feels. "You have to ask yourself 'Do I feel lucky?", Well do you punk?" - Dirty Harry
Helmet or safety glasses or earplugs, facemask - Same as above.
Gloves

It's VERY rare for me to only need a chainsaw when I need a chainsaw.
Personally I find it necessary to bring along a 30 gallon tote that holds ALL of the above (except the cable).

Not arguing, different strokes for different folks, but how do you guys get away with it?

Ha! CobyRupert, you've been reading my mail! :laughing:

While I'm willing to take my chances on some of those items, bar oil and a gallon of fuel mix are pretty much necessities 100% of the time for me. And if I have the grapple on the FEL, I don't even have the bucket to hold the fuel can.

That's why I've procrastinated for years in adding a chainsaw carrier to any of the tractors.

BUT, dragoneggs raises a great point about the new lithium battery operated saws! :scratchchin: I have the HF Lynxx 14", which I love. A spare battery and a quart of bar oil can be tucked in a coat pocket or behind the seat even on an open-station tractor! I can do a lot of cutting on two fresh batteries.

So, now I'm back to thinking about adding a holder to at least one of the machines.

Bar wrench and files are stored in the tractor tool box. There are also sets in each pickup, my four wheeler, and another in my shed by my vise. Hard hat is on my head, and I have my chaps on when headed into the woods. Axe and wedges, gas and b&c oil are carried in the bucket if I didn't leave them in the woods yesterday.
Cable is on the winch spool, chains are hanging on the same implement.

I should have walked out to get the peavey on Sunday, I wouldn稚 have needed to buy a new saw today.

Also in the pouch of my chaps is a basic tourniquet. I hope and pray that I never need to use it.

We use saw-box to carry saw supplies. But not the helmets and other PPE.
