Do the Russian's make a chainsaw??

crowe · Feb 9, 2003

For whatever reason I was thinking about some of the good timber that they have over in Siberia. I started to wonder wether or not the Russians had their own make of Chainsaw and was wondering what it might look like. Has anybody ever heard of or seen one? Later, Wade

They sure did/do. Ural and Druzhba (or were they part of Ural?) made them. Odd saws--I've never been able to figure out the operator position.

crowe · Feb 9, 2003

I figured they had, and I imagined it being kind of awkward no disrespect intended. it just that they seem to make things heavy and solid. I would like to see one, Later Wade

I think Mike has one on his site.

BTW: You might want to edit your sig.

Russians

crowe, try this for some more info on russian climbing gear from a collector in your woods, www.storrick.cnchost.com
I have a friend who's father came here from Russia and he did tree work over there.

I figured they would have nuclear chainsaws; or why not at least a turbine.

Drushba/Ural Chainsaw

treeclimber165 · Feb 9, 2003

Man, that certainly looks convenient to use.

More like 'Kickback City'.

Ha Ha Ha,

Ha Ha Ha Ha,

That is down right funny. Where is the windshield?

My2cents · Feb 10, 2003

My back is starting to ache just looking at that saw photo!

Looks like something is missing from it when pic was taken. As said earlier, kickback would be a bear to control!

John in MA · Feb 10, 2003

I'm almost positive that nothing's missing from that photo. Probably the 2003 model, too.

So I guess you stand behind the thing with the starter resting on your knees, right? Does the bar pivot for felling? Quality Soviet design. From the same folks who brought you vacuum tube avionics in the ('70s Mach 3 interceptor) MiG-25. And who can forget Zenit cameras? The body castings were made out of tougher metal than the main gears.

I can't really tell, but it looks like the old gear drive systems that rotated the bar with the power head remaining vertical for all cuts.

the chainsaw we do are generally for felling

And the most difficult thing is to start them

, not to carry!
On the chainsaw you've seen above one can turn its bar at any angle.
Of course, she is not designed for treeclimbers. There is no such an occupation here.
It is good for crosscutting:

This is Druzba:

Also we have Ural - it is more powerful and more heavy.
Looks very similar:

(the picture in the messages above seems to be Ural)
And we have a pair of saws more accustomed for you:

Which saw is used by Russian arborists?

Good to see a Russian member. I was wondering when we'd get folks from over there. Do you have any idea how the handle bar configuration of the Ural-type saws got started? I've never seen that in saws from any other country.

I like the look of that Taiga. I wonder if George Blake has one?
