That's a special Attachment

What happens here

With the chainsaw attachment connected to the skid steer and hydraulic hoses, perform a test run on dead tree branches. The presenter demonstrates how to operate the chainsaw, noting that chain oil must be added before use. Adjust the boom and angle of the saw to reach branches. The chainsaw attachment is ideal for smaller branches (up to 4.5 inches in diameter), quickly cutting through them. Remember that the hydraulic system of the skid steer lubricates the chain, so monitor your hydraulic fluid levels.

Goal: Demonstrate the operation and effectiveness of the hydraulic chainsaw attachment.

Tools and materials

  • Dead Tree Branches — Test cutting
  • Bar and Chain Oil — Lubricating the chainsaw chain

What they say

Hide

hose okay so this is going to be our first test run of the Chainsaw on a loader and we've got a we got a number of branches up above our head you can see the power line we're going to attempt to cut and see how well it holds up so let's just do this thing which button forward what I'm going to hit the buttons and I want to see which way is forward green or yellow okay yep oh that Jes out let's to let's turn that down first it is turned down I think a let's turn it off then just turn it all the way off all right guys I'm going to jump in here because as you realize I'm taking you along for the ride as we're learning and figuring these things out but there's one thing I do want to clarify on this attachment you can turn it down to about a 1/8 inch turn and that's going to give you about about 200 cuts and those 200 cuts are going to burn through about a quart of oil and the oil it uses is the actual hydraulic fluid from your machine so just be aware of that if you're running this thing constantly all day long you just might need to check the hydr fluid on your piece of equipment did you turn it all the way down yeah I turned it all the way off and then I just cracked it barely open just crack it yeah yeah yeah yeah that's still a lot but that's probably just xt3 from [Music] before there we go [Applause] [Music] going heck yeah heck yeah baby heck yeah that's nice oh yeah oh man yeah that's sick isn't it clb up on the
