New use for Old saw chains

Yea you are right and I am guilty of contributing

 

:lol:

 

I'm just taking the mick as usual:thumbup:

Very good idea. That's a fast way of clearing the stones around root buttresses before stump grinding.

 

 

Sent with my iPhone from me, to you!

 

Had a large Acer rubrum today and cleared all the gravel and the root flares

with great success and managed to carve away one root well away from the concrete walk.

Please be careful If you do put the chain on backwards the KICK BACK will take your head off. I used my 260.

Took a short vid and will post if any one cares to see.

Cheers

what do you do with the bars after there kippered can a damascas knife thingy be made from a bar or grind it down for a kinderling axe lol

[josharb87]

No offence but that's a **** idea

 

Buy a mattock and save replacing bars, sprockets and saws as often

[Scott Walker]

Put em on backwards and turn your saw into a digger to clear the debris away for the stump cut!

I have done it plenty of times and the only issue I see the grit wearing things a bit more quickly.

 

Surely this has to be a joke?

This is going to be pretty hard on the saw surely.All that crap flung behind the clutch cover.I dig my roots out with a mattock and felling axe.

forest and arb take all old chains and any money they get in scrap is given to hants and iow air ambulance. must find out how much they have raised but good use of knackered chains

This sounds a much better use for old chains

[Andy Collins]

This is the best idea I pve ever heard. I wonder if it's something we could encourage more dealers to do, even if they have a bin to chuck old chains in when you call in. If something good came of this thread then this is the answer.

Much success today with Norway Maple and had a look at the

saws inerds and nothing unusual to report.

Centrifugal force seems to keep the debris out.

Who new?
