DR Super Saw

[D&B Mack]

Anyone else get the questionaire for the new DR Super Saw?

It kind of looks like a Miter Saw with a chainsaw chain...weird. According the the survey, looks like pricing is going to be from 5 to 6 hundred.

Supposed to make cutting firewood easier, especially small diameter stuff from around the yard.

Can't get the video back out of the survey.

I'd be interested in seeing this. Is it on their website yet ?

How did you get the survey? An email with a link, or was it included in the email?

 

[D&B Mack]

I don't even think they have made it yet (for sale). I got the survey in an email. I tried to go back and take it again so I could get the video, but it won't allow me. The video was a youtube video, but it is one that you need a link to get to.

6.5hp motor and you can only cut up to 6" wood for $600???
you could do the same thing with a chopsaw and two people for about $200 and a workbench

 

[groundup]

You would have to have a lot of small stuff to make it worth it. I don't bother keeping anything much smaller than 6"

 

[owbguy]

not so sure it translates to the field. I'd have to be hauling that thing into the woods or the edge of the field because that's where the stuff it cuts is located. There's no way I'm bring the brush to it. It just doesn't seem worth hauling around.

Maybe its great for the homeowner and casual cutting. Then again, why would that person need/want it? I guess some folks have a surplus of money and storage space, and maybe that's the target market.

I'm not really seeing a large market for this, but might just be me.

Sure looks like a solution in search of a problem to me, but then a lot of what they offer fits in that category for me.

If I had an extra 600.00 to spend on equipment, it wouldn't be in my top 10 things to buy. jus sayin...

Looks like a newer style buzz saw. Safer to keep more idiots alive.

according to their website, "Patented chainsaw-style Beaver Blade® is easy to sharpen, cuts branches up to 6" thick". I shudder to think what a new blade will run a guy once you wear the thing out. Kinda like replacing the bar and the chain every time its the teeth get worn down. Not to mention how bad it would suck to hit any metal and wipe out the teeth in the first ten seconds. And dont try and tell me nobody has ever wiped out a new chain!

Nope, I will just keep on going with what I have right now......

too much energy for too little effect

 

[Fifelaker]

I think my $7.00 Poulan 2000 would keep up with that.

It makes sense to me , i usually cut down to 2-1.5" dia. I could see mounting it on the side of my trailer to haul it around and all the cut stuff would fall in to the trailer. If it was say 350 -400 bucks i could see them selling a lot of them. It is hafe the price of a new buzz saw and can do hafe the diameter. You don't need a tractor to run it either. the blade is just saw chain wrapped around a circular disc, and you can file the chain so you should get some life out of it unless you are Avalancher that has a magnet in his body and finds all the metal when he is cutting.

I would try one.

They asked in the survey, "At what price would you consider making a purchase?" I replied under $400.

$70+ for a replacement blade. :msp_scared: If there was a way to replace the chain without buying a new blade.

I think you could just replace the chain. It would be the same number of links but in stead of making a loop you would be putting it around the circular blade then putting on your master link and spining it. I do have a new Beaver Blade I got as a door prize at a GTG. It is made to go on a string trimmer, i have yet to try it but will look at it a little more closely.
