    At least the saw would not get so heavy.

    Looks like a very expensive toy. For someone who might not be able to lift any thing it is an alternative.

    The most expensive thing I have for firewood is the splitter and second the saw. So I will pass on this gadget.

    I'll give the guy a :thumbs: for ingenuity. My problem is I've never found that many arrow straight small logs to process. The stuff I'm working would need to be put up there with a front loader & collapse the sawbuck to boot. Don't really see the need for the 28" bar in those little logs either. 026 size saw & 16" B & C combo is much easier to handle. Good vid other than the banjo music though.

    Keeps the chain far away from the dirt. I kinda like it. He put some thought and fabrication time into that!

    A Kubota with pallet forks would work well Eric.

    I like it.

    Not only is he not bending over while sawing, he is not bending over to pick up the wood and put it onto a trailer of some sort; they fall directly into carts by gravity.

    I got a log loader, so I know from experience it is about 3-4 times faster to cut my wood into rounds at waist height instead of bucking them in a pile, but I have to heft a chainsaw doing it. I however, do not need to lift the wood up onto a table either.

    Inventive...I'll give him credit for that.
