Chainsaw carrier (1 Viewer)

[JTU]

How many of y'all carry a chainsaw somewhere in or on your vehicle while camping/overlanding/scouting etc?

I picked up a new saw a few weeks ago and got to looking at vehicle mounted carries and realized that there aren't many options out there and the options that are out there leave a lot to be desired in the areas of support at protection.

How many of y'all would invest in a high quality chainsaw carrier that mounted to a roof rack or tire carrier if one was available?

After seeing how few of options there are available I started drawing up some designs of carrier that would allow quick and easy access while supporting both the guide bar and power head. I'll have a prototype coming off the CNC machines in a few weeks when our tool and die guys get caught up on some projects.

Would there be interest in a true custom built high quality chainsaw carrier?

Sounds interesting. Will it be usable with a case of it will be mounted outside?

 

[JTU]

The way it is designed, you will not be able to use the case. However, I will probably have the local upholstery guy make a weatherproof cover for the mount and powerhead.

I'm interested to see what you come up with.

Not that my vote matters, but I've never found fault in a good case protecting the saw while it rides in the back. I try to reduce exposure to the elements as much as possible, particularly rain , and high wind.

I am interested. I too have struggled with this.

So is it a bro... or a bra. Big difference

I see the website missed that too. Cool idea to secure while being protected.

Jtranum .... theres a thread about this in 80s tech. Build it and they will come

B-lue R-idge O-verland Chain saw bra or bro bra for short.

Gotcha...Bro Bra Well thats awkward lol
But B-R-O makes sense
Just reads funny when page title is the 'the chainsaw bra' ..... then first line of text is 'the chainsaw bro'

Bringing this back up. Anything ever happen with this? I can't find anything I would be happy with and I'm just about to give in and mount a small diamond plate tool box on my Prinsu. Total frustration move. I want lockable, fairly protected from the weather, and not inside the truck (no gas and oil please).

 

[Bomar]

Yes still a need for sure.

 

[wngrog]

Use the Blue Ridge Overland harness and a little bike lock cable.

Water won’t hurt that saw.

More worried about that bright orange bastard disappearing while I'm in Walmart shopping for charcuterie. Wait, Whole Foods I mean.

Couple of good bungee cords or quick release ratchet straps would do the same thing.

Sure but for $35 i would buy it again. I really like it.

I've got an MS660 with 24" bar. If you need to take dimensions off of it, hit me up

But these are popular around here (edit for better link now)
