a lot of those large two man saws are hydraulic powered.

 

I'd like to know what the guy on the tail end of this saw has in his hands? Looks like a cardboard box duct-taped around the bar. From the look on his face I think he agrees it's sketchy.

 

that is a steel tip guard with a handle on it.

 

I wish I had a pic, but alas I don't. In the early 60's we had a large 4 cycle engined chain saw (I was born in '51). The bar could swivel between vertical and horizontal in order to keep the engine crankcase "on the bottom". It had a detachable handle for the other end of the bar, making it into a two man saw. I'm only guessing but I think the bar was about 48". My brother and I ran this thing on a regular basis without dad in the vicinity. Larry would have been 16-17 and I would have been 13-14. I was always on the detachable handle end.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

 

I wonder what happens when he hits a bolt?

 

This is the result of a Redneck with too much free time.

 

C & C Equipment in Nashville, IN buys low mileage, Mercedes, ex-military Unimogs equipped with hydraulic attachments including a chainsaw. These things look like giant Swiss Army knives on wheels.

 

unimogs have been around for a long long time. close to 75 years.

 

Yes, but these are unique carrying everything you might need to dig trenches in warfare. The chainsaw and other hydraulic tools are interesting.

 

 

 

That is odd. With that hat the driver looks like the museum director of Clark County on Pawn Stars.

 

Workmanship looks to be superb, but what a waste of one of those engines with the funny valve covers.

 

Can you imagine sitting behind that with open zoomies?

 

There must be a stash of earplugs on there somewhere.
