[Bonehead69]

Anyone have some ideas for mounting your chainsaws?

Intrigued...

I've seen ones where the bar goes in like a sheath, but I'd be afraid the Bar would bend. I gots me a big ole Husky. She's a GOOOOOOOODDDDDDD Dog...

I was going to make one myself but I'm starting to like the looks of this Kolpin. Good reviews and lots of mounting options on the P1000.

I have the Kolpin mount and i love it. I put it on my rear roll bar.

Could I see a pic of your set up?

At first I thought something like this would be good. Just zip ties holding it but was going to build a rack.


Then I tried some Kolpin Ratcheting Rhino Grips


What I didnt like is the kolpin grip is mostly plastic and I could see the chainsaw breaking loose when I hit a bump. So I used some 1/8" wire rope on the roll bar which holds all of the weight of the saaw - the Rhinos just keep the saw from swinging. To unload the chainsaw, there is a quick release hook on the wire rope and press the button on the Rhino - then pull the saw sideways and out the back. The scabbard swings a bit for the saw to come out but stays in place until you slide the saw back in place.

Been on some bumpy rides and this setup works well. Easy to load and unload. You can use both rear passenger seats while the saw is in place and the bed dumps all the way too.
Here is the upper Rhino Grip attached to the rollbar and the quick release - you can also see the turnbuckle to adjust tension on the wire. The wire needs to support the weight of the saw.

Update - I tossed the turnbuckle and simplified the wire rope / quick release. Really happy with this.

can you use the kaolin holder without a bar sheath just bare blade?

 

[hurld]

Yes the sheath just helps keep mud off the bar

wow didn't think about that Ill bet the entire chainsaw would get covered there if u had it during a muddy ride?

 

[hurld]

Yeah the little 170 gets cleaned more than the pioneer, but is worth it's weight in gold when the trail is blocked

 

[dale5740]

thats the truth don't leave home without it. I am thinking of getting a small stihl to take with me and when Im going to cut wood then take the big one!!

 

[dale5740]

getting wood is much easier with the pioneer than my old rig Im glad i stepped it up a notch

 

[Hondasxs]

I am going to have to out some thought into this... I really could of used a chainsaw holder today!

With some recent conversation about an adventure in Coalmont, TN with @drfubar and @Delton it brings the topic of a good chainsaw mount front and center! I've though about it as something I would do sometime in the future, but now I'm thinking that perhaps I should be considering it sooner rather than later!

Has anyone tried a mount that just rocks? I'm leery about mounting anything off to the side or even that protrudes at all from the ROPS on the side.
