SAPPLING CUTTER FROM FINLAND

[William Greene]

this chainsaw attachment comes in two sizes. i bought the standard model. i'm 6'4", should have got the tall model , if i were to use it.assembly is a breeze.my son who is 16 is holding it for pic,also put it together and mounted it on my saw. it fit's him just fine! this attachment is kinda pricy,but fit's into my wood cutting stable real nice.

What is this called and who makes it?
May I ask what you all do with the sapplings that you are cutting?

Im not the "Safety guy" but ive had spacing saws whip around with kickback. Scary enough when the blade is 4' away... Id be a little apprehensive with a chainsaw bar that close to my ankles. Plus the added chance of grounding the saw and dulling the chain.

Interesting idea though. Probably well thought out and made construction wise. Id have to see it / try it in person. Be interesting to see what the guys over on Arborist Site think of it. Did you decide if your going to import and sell these?

What is this called and who makes it?

Its called an "Apuri Felling Handle" . Rather expensive at $520. I could find very little information (in English) on the product.

Running the saw like that looks dangerous to me...

I like the Echo with the saw blade at the end to cut brush and saplings.

i don't think i'm going to import and sell many of these out of my shop, i think they are too high priced to sell many. although i'd like too!!!

I would be a little concerned about kickback too. I also have and echo power pruner and it is perfect for cutting saplings. I can cut them low enough for the mower to miss them and still keep the bar out of the dirt. Mine is the one with the extending pole. Talk about pricey, but I like it.

Seems youve had great luck with it... But i have to agree.. price point is a bit too high,

Just noticed the 262XPH on your site. Cool saw. Alot like the handle you started this thread to discuss.

Can you shed any light on the XPH? I know its Russian, but why would they use it? What can it do that a conventional saw cant?

 

[William Greene]

i have been told that the idea of the handel's on the XPH, as on most russian saws was to keep the operator's head up in "clean air" while felling in shoveled out hole in deep snow.

the saw can be turned any position by loosening the knob on the tank and turning to desired position and retightening the knob.

Interesting. Wouldnt think that CO would be an issue... Just how deep is the snow in Russia

WHats that saw behind the XPH in the pictures? The one in front of the pruning saw on the bottom shelf with the long weird body? 339XP? If so how do you like it? You have quite a collection there even for a store.... Locally theres next to nothing stocked. :thumbsup:

 

[William Greene]

the saw in question is a 339 and runs .325 .050 saw chain and the grab handles are further apart for saftey,unlike it's cusin the 338 next to it which runs .050 3/8 pitch lo pro saw chain (much better than .325 ) the 338 is an arborist's saw (bucket or one handed) so they are the same saw internaly, just with different handle's and saw chain. the 339 would be much faster cutting imho with 3/8's lo pro (91 series oregon) why the mfg does that is anybody's guess :confused2:
