[Homelitexl903]

Has anyone ever seen one of these or have one? I have seen homelite circular saws and concrete saws but never this Chipper model.

That just makes my hands hurt thinking about the vibration. Neat looking tool tho!!

It's not mine, I saw it on flea bay and tried to search for info and came up with nothing so I started this thread.

That is real neat. Homelite made so much stuff that it is unreal what pops up.

A buddy of mine,Homelite collector extraordinaire,bought a tree shaker,for fruit or nuts,I guess,made by Homelite.He probably has 15 circular saws,over 200 Ez's,and God knows how many Homies.

It's really a shame what happened to Homelite. I just checked out there website which I haven't bothered to do in a long time and its a pathetic cheap line up of junk. I think the only reason they still make sales is because people have a old homelite or remember having one and don't realize what they are now compared to then. Regardless I'm still going to collect old homelites.

You wouldn't happen to have a photo of the homelite tree shaker would you? When I was a young boy in the late 60's I helped my Grandpa in his cherry orchards in Michigan. He had a couple of the tree shakers. They're long gone now. I've been searching for years to find a photo to reminese sp? but no luck.

I'm not good at copying a link. I found a patent for 1971 and Homelite is listed in the information for the use of this attachment.

This link shows a little different model than what I remember. Old brain cells not quite as sharp perhaps.
