New Brush Cutter

[Top Dog]

Take a look at our new brush cutter.

Can't quite tell from the photo , is that Hot Saw chain wrapped around the drum ?

 

[Top Dog]

It is a saw chain, notice the small chips that are discharged, this makes it safe for roadways and high populated areas.

That's a neet idea ,a drum with saw chain on it.Simple yet effective.Any trouble with vines wrapping on the drum?

 

[farmboy555]

That would be a hard chain to file

I doodled with the idea on paper once , a helical groove cut into a thick walled drum for the chain to sit in . It would need a quick release pin on each end so that it could be quickly removed for sharpening . I put it in the too "creative" basket because i thought the chain would get loose on the drum and give trouble . Have you resolved this issue , if an issue at all ?

What size carrier is that on? Looks like a good tool.

Iron Horse we have solved the loose chain with a simple spring, so far it works great.

It suprised me that a chain will last over 150 hrs before it needs sharping as long as it stays up in trees not on the ground.

Some of the prototypes we had early on did have trouble with vines we have since addressed that issue and have eliminated the problem.

how much flow does it require? what kind of pump do you run on it and what is the cutting width?

It only requires 25 gpm, cutting width is 34 in. the motor on it is a gear pump/motor

A chain will stay sharp for a long time if you can keep it in clean wood all the time.
We do our log bucking in the log yard by had with chainsaw's and in the wet season when they had mud on them you spend as much time sharping the saw as you do sawing. dennis:Banghead

Are you using( or do you have to have) a oil case drain line back to the tank also from the hydraulic motor ? Good luck:usa
