A mere pruning saw compared to this:

Built on a 255 buick V8 and will eat thru that 30"log in under a second and a half

[Percy]

Hmmm, Im thinkin they are the same saw?? Sure cut that log in a hurry ;D ;D ;D :D ;D ;D

[woodbeard]

Oops, you're right, Percy. My connection is so slow, I got fed up and closed the window while the guy was still showing the motorcycle engine saw.

[Stephen_Wiley]

Sorry for some reason only get computer language for Rick's url, so could not see saw.

Predator, I have seen on AS site many times.

"Ultimate"  nah........who could run the 'predator' for 10 hours a day? ???

[Oregon_Rob]

10 hours a day, there ain't that much wood in the forest. I saw that thing cut through a 30" fir log in under 1.2 seconds. At that rate it would take a bout a minuet and a half to cut my winter's supply.

[Stan]

I dunno, seems that takin' that half step every second would tire a fellah out real quick.  :-/

[Stephen_Wiley]

Oh come on fellas...................holding the weight of that saw and climbing up the steep slopes over fallen brush in the woods.

You would tire before you got to the designated tree to cut !  

Besides,  think of the extra stress holding it to make a falling cut.
Probably to dangerous as it you may intend to only make a face cut and end up completely through the tree.

Oregon Rob.......you must be getting your woods well thinned ?
I know of a project that would keep 10 predators busy here in Oregon for a year or more.

   OK- just for da heck of it- if you *could* hold that thing up sideways to make a 'falling cut' I think you called it- would it run sideways like that? I know airplane engines have to be made special if they are going to fly inverted or the oil gets into the worng place. How far up on its side can you get a V-8 and for how long before it runs into that same type of problem (and is that a hemi?)  lw

It's all about the dew-dads boys.
Lota testosterone associated with that saw
 :D :D :D

[Stephen_Wiley]

LW - I believe I heard it was a buick motor, so it would not be a hemi.  Morpar holds the rights to the 'Hemi' design.

Two problems come to mind in holding the motor sideways:

1. The position of the oil intake pump siphon
2. Potential leakage out the valve covers


MB - Or "Due-Dad" =  always put the blame on DAD

 8) Anybody know how to waterproof that baby??? 8)

[Furby]

Don't tell me you STILL haven't solved your problem, Deadheader?  ;D

[Duane_Moore]

 :P ;) well let's see, only thinking out loud. a dry sump oil pump. or side oiler.like the stockcar boys use. then we could hold it side ways. and I think Ford, also makes a Hemi, the 5.0 & 4.6L alum head Hemi. crossbolt main.F/I  V/8 only thinking out loud. I see they use a Prediator carb on the Buick. no float bowles. see some on street rods. does not weigh too much. all alum. about 275lbs?  only thinking 8) 8) 8)   Duh---Duane

[Duane_Moore]

 :PFla.D. waterproof???? maybe hyd. hoses on a remote hyd. motor.???? so what ya expect me from Wyoming.. Duh---Duane :P ??? ??? ???

[rbarshaw]
