Product Manual
WELCOME
LIMBSAW was invented by Wendell McCracken of Pauls Valley, Oklahoma.
A retiree with a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Wendell and his
wife Donna raised eight children on their 250 acre pecan and cattle farm
where tree trimming was an ongoing family chore.
Having invented and patented items his whole life, Wendell came up with
the LIMBSAW after his children moved away and left pruning to him and
his wife. Far from his first invention, Wendell has worked on radar systems
for the B-52 Hustler project and several other patents relating to phone
systems and ”down hole” measuring devices. He has even worked on
armored bullet-proof cars and, most recently, built his own airplane.
Your LIMBSAW has been designed with care and built by skilled workers
using quality materials. Proper maintenance and safe operating practices
outlined in this manual will help you get years of superb use and excellent
results from the LIMBSAW.
REMEMBER SAFETY FIRST!
Be Alert - Eliminate unsafe habits and risky behavior,
recognize hazards as they exist and read and follow
the Operator’s Manual for your LIMBSAW and your tractor!
Application
Using hand-held chainsaws, bow saws, or pole saws while standing in the
bucket of a tractor or on a ladder can be an accident waiting to happen.
The LIMBSAW drastically reduces the risk of injury by eliminating these
common practices. Limbs fall in front of the loader while you sit in the
safety of your tractor seat. In addition, the danger of chainsaw kickback
is virtually eliminated. And, the ability to reverse the motor can provide
needed help to back the saw out in case of a pinch.
t Mounts directly to front-end loader of your tractor, skid-loader or
backhoe and is easily attached by one person.
t Quieter, safer and easier to use than a hand-held chainsaw.
t Reversible motor helps back the saw out of a pinch.
t Equipped with a self-oiling system.
t Easy-access, built-in chain tensioning system.
t Trims limbs up to 8’ higher than your loader can reach.
