Hydraulic chainsaw

[orkneyalan]

Have you considered electric?

 

I have a couple of stihl electric and have to say I dont think there any use for any of the more heavy cutting:001_smile:

What size chain do you use on these? Are they slow revving with a bigger pitch chain?[/QUO

 

Hi drythropple!

You got me there, I have the stanley cs06 with a 14" bar & the fibreglass pole saw with a 12" bar.

Sorry can't be more specific without checking.

 

I use them on Landrover front tool flow & Mog mewp bucket flow. I also use a power pack if the vehicle access is a problem.

 

They are really slow, safe, quite, but you could not compare the speed to any of the small petrol saws.

Do you happen to know what size your power pack is ,ie pressure and flow rate?

Has anybody had experience in working with hydraulic chainsaws for carving ,I am looking for a quieter alternative from my petrol stihl saws as I have an neighbor who is complaining to my local council which is causing all sorts of problems!

 

I have been looking at the stanley cs06 hydraulic saw which is the same saw that the pinskey power guy in america uses .

 

Also if anybody is selling a hydraulic saw or/and power pack I would be interested to here from you.

 

Thanks Alan

 

If its quiet you want the hydraulic saw is a good idea but like already said the petrol powerpack will still be noisy, why not go for the electric powerpack? That would be the best of both worlds. They are made in single phase as well.

Yes, its the JCB Beaver 20 ltr/min.

The flows on vehicles are around the same.

I am up the other end of the country, Orkney Isle (Scotland) thanks for the offer though it would have been good to see one working .

The flow rate on your power pack is on the low end of the range for the cs06 saw so yours may give you a slower speed they recomend between 26lpm to 34lpm. Cheers Steve for the offer

The Beaver is a little under flowed, I believe JCB next size up is a 30ltr/min.

The flows on the vehicle are spec'd to the saws (Versalift mewp hydraulic tool flow) these are at 30 approx and if I run the saws on them its still no where near a petrol. We have increased the revs on the flow and yes it better, but you would not be too happy with the pruning cuts.

That said, the pole saw is for just that.

 

Sorry that you aren't a little closer then you could try. I bought mine from the states and saved a little by doing so.

 

If you are ever down this way and still have them in mind give me a shout. I would have thought that you didn't have too many people to upset in your location!!!!

Jeez alan, the gods dont make it easy for you eh? not only do you have the problem of finding wood to carve up there but you also have neighbors who dont like the noise...

have you considered carving the neighbors? 2 birds, 1 stone?

Trust me the thought has crossed my mind ! the guy next door loves nothing more than complaining to the council and making peoples life difficult around the neighborhood ,I feel his time is coming soon where he pushes me that e bit to far !!

ref neighbor complaints, I have had the same issue and have had both environmental and planning offices round! After some discussion and me offering to work in times when said neighbor is out if they give me a time table etc no further action to be taken. they said just carry on carving as I am sticking to after 9am finishing before 5pm and not doing it all day every day.

 

Good luck
