Limbhog

I'm sorry but things like this just gripe me,
I totally agree with husky here, if your going to advertise a tool for a specific group of professionals then the designer needs to have a good understanding of the operations of that trade, which they obviously dont.
do that on a willow or ash and there would be a 3foot tear of wood down the tree and the trees would look less than great, butchered comes to mind,
what do you do if the chain brakes because your forcing the blade into the wood too hard with your heavy hydraulic lever and it traps in the tree oh of course get a pole saw and cut it out. der
landscapers beware the advertising is coming for you.

there is no place in tree care for a hack saw. there is nothing environmentally friendly about the thing. i could see fence installers and construction workers using this but no land or tree care people. that thing does more bad than good and like others have said the inventor has 0 knowledge of tree care. take that crap else where!!!!

maybe if i make another account and say im from maryland.... then theyll buy a few......

 

[2FatGuys]

Or... better yet...

If the manufacturer will provide me with one of these saws AND a new skid steer to mount it to, I may make a few well worded promising remarks... Of course that is ONLY if I get to keep the skid steer....

Having purchased a LimbHog I must say your opinion about this product is way off. After some practice I can trim anything on my farm just as good as a man on a ladder. It does take some effort to position perpendicular to the limb being cut and in some cases starting the saw before starting the cut. I requested a six foot extension and it is being manufactured and shipped at cost! Maybe you should give this one another try?

Your name wouldn't happen to be Darren, would it?

Just curious... :monkey:

Somebody is going to be REAL sorry they have one of those. I know it looks like a good idea to some of you candy assers who don't know but that thing is just a contraption built for fat people. Fat people who are about to get blasted in the teeth with what they are cutting.
What will they think of next? A piece a saw chain that you toss up on a limb and work back and forth with ropes? A twenty foot pole saw?
I kinda feel like a hack when I strap a ladder in the back of the pickup and have Jamie drive along hedgerows while I lean out with my long reach hedge trimmers.

Hey Now

I have a 26' pole saw lol

 

[BlueRidgeMark]

Yeah, that's what riled me, to tell the truth. If the guy wants to market his product, he needs to do it in an above-board way. Using a shill smacks of outright dishonesty and I wouldn't trust the product if I don't trust it's inventor.

+1

Looks like Limbhog is off to a good start.

Ah, those first impressions!


Real smart way to launch a business. Demonstrate your lack of ethics to the biggest Internet audience in the industry.

from the comfort of you own tractor seat

sounds nice. i could see this thing being VERY useful, in some type of texas chainsaw massacre sequel, or rebirth. imagine, the bad guy can cut through the wall you're hiding behind as high as the SECOND floor!:jawdrop: kill innnocent teenagers from 16 feet away!!! other than a horror movie prop, it's kinda bunk in my book, as it perpetuates poor tree pruning practices ( and looks unsafe!)

Really? what in the heck do you do with that thing? 26 feet? How high can you reach with stilts>

3 6' jameson poles with a saw head. and my two 4's for the big shot. i hardly use more than the tripple 6s but ive had to use that last 8' before. its mainly for deadwood pulling, bur i can and have cut things 30 foot up. and i still got the 24 ft a frame.......

Works for me!

Well I'm not fat but actually broke my back trimming tree limbs 17 years ago. This implement is the first one to come along that meets my needs on the farm. I can tell you for a fact it is far safer then you think. I would suggest you look at the way a tractor/loader work together before calling this unsafe. I have trimmed my 20 acres in record time for the last week and you would have to be brain dead to get anywhere near hurt using it! Just my opinion but honestly I have been there done that! Yes, it will strip some bark on some species of tree but with proper experience is not a problem at all.
