Circular Saw for TREES! Fastest Way Yet to Cut HIGH Limbs!

[@markcalvert6949]

Tim, you've been promoted to Branch Manager! You really go out on a limb for your viewers!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Where is that "block" button :-). Just kidding. Great puns!

[@limbsaw]

@markcalvert6949 That had our whole team laughing! We will need to change our job titles to these puns, better suits the work that we do!

[@carpeinferi]

That looks dangerously fun.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I’m not sure why it looks so dangerous. The saw is 20’ from the operator.

[@limbsaw]

@carpeinferi The LimbSaw is not dangerous at all, but certainly fun! It was designed with safety in mind. The only downside to the LimbSaw is the giant mess you have to clean up after trimming all those trees!

[@carpeinferi]

@@limbsaw I was half joking, but could see it being dangerous for bystanders if they and the operator were inattentive or careless.

I was impressed with the chain saw version, and it looks like the blade version worked great. “Ideal on a 4 series”…mmm…I know ‘a guy’ that has a 4052R and is willing to test that for you ;-)

[@janskoropinski10]

When cutting up, you are cutting compression wood and the weight of the limb pinches the saw. When cutting down, you are cutting tension wood and weight of the branch pulls the limb away from the saw.

[@RobertBrothersJr-dc7nr]

That saw works great Tim. It made short work of your trimming job. Enjoyable video Tim. Thanks

[@michaelsa892]

I can't wait for my tractor and grapple to show up my back will be so happy

[@royscarbrough3589]

Just saw a belly mount weight for 7R tractors. Made me wonder if something like that would help on a 1025R. The lower center of gravity seems helpful. Granted the weight lifting limit of the mower lift may make the weight to light to be helpful. Just a thought. Y’all are doing great. Shine On!

[@Drew-in-NoDak]

I always thought it would be handy just for general tractive effort, putting balanced weight on the tractor.

[@Chris-jh3tg]

Perfect tool for edge management. Mulberry is the bane of the modern day farmer.

[@limbsaw]

@chris-jh3tg The LimbSaw Circular Saw is fantastic for clearing fence rows, hedges, and other heavy vegetation!

[@PaulLB7]

I like your “custom” mount you made for it to fit the forks, instead of bolting it to the side of a bucket.

[@limbsaw]

@paulLB7 It looks like TTWT actually used two of our receivers for mounting the LimbSaw to his forks. The LSC Circular Saw actually comes with two receivers, or we also offer a Receiver base plate to get the same result.

[@mattphillips4260]

had a family member build one just like this out of his shop works well if you look back last year maybe even early this year i was talking about building a 3 point pto drive unit to run stuff like this saw to have the gpm needed and even use as counter weight to cover the boom sticking out the 8 or 9 foot hope this sparks an idea to look at this futher

[@limbsaw]

@mattphillips4260 It sounds like you have some custom work to do! But I wanted to let you know, the LimbSaw LSC Circular Saw requires 10gpm, and the LS8 Chainsaw requires 7gpm of hydraulic flow. A PTO kit would certainly help add to that flow if your equipment does not offer enough as standard!

[@mattphillips4260]

@@limbsaw the compact tractors do not have the gpm for these saws with out doing a pump upgrade to them and i have this one and a sickle bar like cutter head i would like to build if i do this i want to build a 3 point power pack that runs off the pto and puts out the 10 gpm needed for them but also added ballest for the tractor

[@Not_So_Weird_in_Austin]

Last week in central texas I saw one on a skid steer trimming brush on main roads it was working great🍔🍔🍔.

[@williamgaines9784]

A lot of powerline right of way maintenence companies use that type of saw. It can cut limbs of however big of free(not on spindle or motor) blade space is available. No bar oil needed either.

[@limbsaw]

Yes, we have many municipalities that use the LimbSaw for their city roads as well!

[@ricksatterfield713]

When cutting up, the limb is trying to pinch the saw blade as it cuts through.

[@GrampysTractor]

Another fine product that I could use to get all the overhanging trees off my fence. I'm also thinking about a cage that goes on your forks and lifts you up, I could then use my Stihl Combi tool with a brush cutter to do about the same thing but way more labor intensive. Great content as always.

[@limbsaw]

@grampystractor The LimbSaw is a great product to help you clear those trees on your fence row! The cage for your forks sounds like a safer option that just standing in the bucket - but the LimbSaw could save you all that time and physical labor! The only downside to the LimbSaw is the mess you have to clean up after.

[@GrampysTractor]

@ they both would create the same mess and with the cage I would need to find an operator for the tractor since my wife won’t drive and lift me up and she’s “not” going in the cage with the brush cutter 😂

[@poorsob]

Just like with a chainsaw, if you saw bottom up on a heavy limb, it will pinch your chain/blade. Fun to watch.

[@Tony2tall]

This will also improve the quality of crops grown alongside.

[@anthonywalls3281]

As usual Dave having to clean up Tim's mess lol 😆

[@gregritter5883]

Hey, good job you guys you both did Tractor time with him at the same time you getting better?

[@janskoropinski10]

Great video. Wonder why you didn’t attach that saw to the U 48-5.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Because it is intended for a tractor.

[@limbsaw]

@janskoropinski10 The LimbSaw was originally designed and intended for tractors, but over the years we have had so many customers use their LimbSaw on excavators, skid steers, skid loaders, backhoes, etc. As long as you have the correct amount of hydraulic flow, you should be able to use the LimbSaw. The LSC Circular Saw requires 10gpm, and the LS8 Chainsaw requires 7gpm. We will be adding customer photos to our website soon, so be sure to check out what customers put their LimbSaw on!

[@jamesstuder5045]

When the local electric company trimmed back the ROW they used a boom rig with a similar saw on the end. The only difference was it would rotate, making the trimming much faster.

[@limbsaw]

@jamesstuder5045 We have many municipalities that use their LimbSaw for keeping their parks and city roads neatly trimmed! It sounds like the equipment you saw was more commercially built, while we focus primarily on landowners, farmers, and personal usage. The LSC Circular Saw can be manually rotated into vertical and horizontal cutting positions.

[@scottlagaly1389]

Hey Tim… cutting upward, the limb is going to pinch the blade due to gravity and stop it.

[@johnk.3593]

It would be great if the tilt function could turn the head left/right for different angles on the branches.

[@limbsaw]

@johnk.3593 That would be great! Currently the LimbSaw LSC Circular Saw does have to be manually rotated into horizontal and vertical cutting position. But moving into the new year, we will have an upgrade option for a swivel receiver, that will allow the full saw to be rotated into the two standard positions and a new 45 degree cutting angle.

[@jimmcknight3021]

I have a powerpack that runs around 11.5 gpm. The company changed the name from TrailBlazer to Ironcraft since they got rid of the TB name. It works well on our front cut brush cutter.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yep and would work great with this circular saw.

[@jimmcknight3021]

@TractorTimewithTim Well our pal Neil Messick could fix you up. Plus, get you a Grand L to replace your LX. LOL 😆

[@wallyzworld7108]

I think it needs about 6 inches greater diameter blade and the ability to use the third function to rotate the blade and motor about 45 degrees left/right.

[@limbsaw]

@wallyzwolrd7108 Currently the LimbSaw LSC Circular Saw has a 16 and 5/16" blade - but due to the motor cover, you have about 5" of cutting width available. For larger cuts we recommend the LS8 Chainsaw. Being able to use the third function to rotate the saw head would be ideal, but not something we offer. We will soon be adding a product upgrade that will have a swivel receiver, allowing you to manually rotate the full saw into horizontal, vertical, and a 45 degree cutting position!

[@russellsanders1400]

I think ideal setup would be put the saw on the mini-x. You would have a lot more reach and much more maneuverable.

[@limbsaw]

@russellsanders1400 That is a perfect setup! We have several customers who have attached their LimbSaw to excavators. We will be adding a section on our website for customer photos, be sure to check that out soon!

[@aubreysmith66]

Dirt Perfect built his own, called the "Limbanator" 😆

[@jimhancock5047]

Don't need one but want it anyway. Tractor owners want all the attachments...!

[@mikehouser7587]

I’m in the same boat. I have to ground myself and follow my own advice to the kids. “Is it a want or a need.” My want list is much longer than my need list thank God.

[@usa-ev]

Same!

[@3pRanchTx]

I definitely need one of those saws - it’s going on my Christmas wish list! I went to the manufacturers website, and they state the saw can also cut horizontally. Have you tried cutting in that configuration? What RPM did you have your 3 series tractor throttle set at while cutting? Thanks!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Full throttle to get the most flow possible.

[@limbsaw]

@3pranchtx That is a perfect add to any Christmas list! The LSC Circular Saw can be manually rotated into vertical and horizontal positions. It does require 10gpm of hydraulic flow to operate the saw.

[@SLCFarms]

I want one. Think I’m gonna go dirt perfect style and build one

[@limbsaw]

@slcfarms It sounds like you have some custom work to do! But I wanted to let you know, the LimbSaw LSC Circular Saw requires 10gpm, and the LS8 Chainsaw requires 7gpm of hydraulic flow. We enjoy Dirt Perfect's videos here, he has put a lot of work into his equipment!

[@PastorDavidFranklin]

Very nice Tim! Makes cutting tree limbs a bit easier. Check out the limb saw that Dirt Perfect engineered! Great minds think alike! LOL! Have a great week.

[@mikegraziano1562]

How about a Milwaukee M18 sawzall with a 12" pruning blade on a boom? LOL

[@petenolte4192]

I'm wondering if you can use this on the mini excavator by putting an adapter on it?

[@limbsaw]

@petenolte4192 Yes, you can use the LimbSaw on a mini excavator as long as it has the correct amount of hydraulic flow - the LSC Circular Saw requires 10gpm and the LS8 Chainsaw requires 7gpm.

[@rpmpat]

Do they offer a jd quick attach option? I don’t see it on their site.

[@limbsaw]

@rpmpat Our quick attach plates are skid steer universal, so you would need an adapter plate. But the standard LimbSaw will come with a mounting receiver bracket to attach to a bucket/loader by welding or drilling holes for the bolts.

[@vinceminner2571]

Same thing with using a chainsaw. You don’t want to cut, from the bottom up. it will pinch the chain.

[@TheCritterWindow]

One thing I found is if you trim it the farmer will plant it. I had a path cleared one year and the farmer planted it. I had to stake/flag it the next year.

[@dogpotter]

Impressive piece of equipment!

[@PEI_Guy]

A sort of cool attachment but I'm not sure about the practicality.

[@limbsaw]

@PEI_Guy Thank you! The LimbSaw was designed for the main purpose of keeping you a safe distance while tree trimming, but it also has the advantage of operating safely from your tractor seat!

[@texillini1]

I realize that you needed the tractor content for your videos; but if you would’ve just rented a Genie bucket lift and used a chainsaw you would have been done with the project more quickly.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Disagree. Project took less than an hour. Woulda taken much longer to rent. Would have to get them to deliver, as bucket lifts are too large for my trailer. Pay for delivery, pay for lift rent, etc. makes no sense at all.

[@texillini1]

@ I wish that owned a Genie. I rent one every couple of years for tree trimming, cleaning out gutters, or painting, etc. I find them very handy. Must have been the editing because it just looked like the job took forever to do. A sharp chain on a chainsaw goes super quick.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

⁠@@texillini1I would LOVE to own a lift. I like the looks of the ‘Niftylift’ as they are lighter, and I could haul on my trailer. They seem to be incredibly functional. I would love to create a boom lift tractor attachment…even it if had quite limited range!

@@amrrma4796 LimbSaw is proudly Veteran owned and American made! The LSC Circular Saw actually has a 16 and 5/16" blade with 60 arbor teeth. The saw is not designed to be in operation while the tractor is moving, it even has a transportation mode that allows the head of the saw to fold underneath the mast. You are safely seated in your tractor or skid steer seat while the saw is in operation and cutting limbs. But of course, always practice safety first.

@@Mike-hb4pctotally disagree. The alternative is a chainsaw etc on a ladder. This is MUCH safer, as operator is nowhere near the blade, or the falling limb.

@tcmits3699 The LimbSaw is certainly homeowner friendly, and a much safer option compared to standing on a ladder with a pole saw, or even standing under a limb using a pruning blade! With the LimbSaw you are seated in your tractor/skid steer while cutting limbs at a safe distance!

[@limbsaw]

​@@Mike-hb4pc Thank you for your concern, but the LimbSaw is a much safer option. Many customers have mentioned how they wish they had heard of the LimbSaw prior to their major injuries, back when they were standing in a bucket with a polesaw or on a ladder, trying to cut limbs and falling or getting hit with a limb. Those same customers now use their LimbSaw with no stress or worry about getting hurt.
