    Tree saw

    I am trying to get Bobcat to find one of their saws for me to demo. I spoke with the guy that builds them & he was very informative. Hopefully we have one this week to try out on a job.

    Tree saw

    I am looking at getting a tree saw for my skid steer. I hav ebeen looking at the turbo-saw & like how it operates with the rotating head. Anyone have any experience with these style saws. I don't want a shear becuase we have to cut the trees flush at the ground & treat them.
