Got Chainsaw? You've never seen a Tractor Attachment like this! 20ft reach!

What happens here

The presenter drives the Cast Loader with the Limsaw's chainsaw head attached to a tree line. He extends the boom and uses the chainsaw to cut several overhanging branches. He demonstrates the ease with which the saw cuts through the limbs and emphasizes the importance of making precise cuts to prevent damage to the main tree and to clear the pasture effectively. He mentions plans to cut limbs hanging over the pasture first, then to go to the other side to cut them flush with the tree trunk to prevent disease.

Goal: Successfully trim overhanging tree limbs from the pasture edge using the Limsaw.

with the machine so folks you might be asking yourself hey man you know this seems really really rigid well it's actually not really that rigid there's a little shock right here to help absorb any very stiff hits you might take so if you look right here it has some spring to it quite a bit of spring to it and it has quite a bit of spring to it back that direction too as I pull on it and push on it same goes with the chainsaw portion of it there is a uh indicator right here and a little shock absorber right here and that helps to offset set the pressure that you'll put on your tree so if you go up under and do an undercut and then an overcut you'll have some relief for that pressure okay the weight of the saw does the cutting not the weight of the machine which is very important to keep from tearing up your saw Isn't that cool before we head into the pasture with the chainsaw portion I'm going to take off the circular saw portion so stay tuned for a future video with the circular saw you're going to love it there's going to be a lot of content we generate from this thing Okie doie let's crawl into our broken glass machine we'll start this Critter up okay the hydraulics on this are really really [Music] smooth so if you have bir directional Hydraulics we need this to go in the same direction all the time in the direction of cut and you'll know really quickly if you mess up and don't do that now with the cast loader let me show you how the arm extends real quick it's really cool so we'll raise this up and we are extending our hydraulic boom all the way out as far as it'll go how steady is that on this machine very very steady self-leveling boom I'm going to tell you a th% if you're going to drive through a tight area be sure you don't put the saw head on until you get into the pasture that you're going to be working in this thing sticks way way out there guys way out there I am super impressed let's run up here and we're going to Lop off some limbs on a tree that's hanging out over the pasture right now it's something that could cause some damage to our fences at some point there we go I'm actually going to extend my boom just ever so slightly get me up there above my cut that's it bam look at that there some [Music] RPM very cool this thing's got an awesome reach on it I think the cast loader really makes this thing bam drop a little limb on the fence that's why we're starting outside of the fence line I'll go inside the fence line later oh yeah that's nice…
