who made the first modern chainsaw?

[cord arrow]

Al Gore invented the chainsaw as we know it.

According to the websites of all the major manufacturers, they all were first on the market with the modern, lightweight chainsaw.

Well said

If you're talking 2-man... there's a lot of controversy about the first "hand-held chainsaw that people could actually use"...

If you're talking one-man chainsaw, which one logger could carry into the woods and work with all day... it's McCulloch's model 3-25, introduced October 1949.

There you go. Although Stihl is credited with inventing the first one man, 2 cycle, gas saw (the German Army used them during WWII), the Mac 3-25 was the saw that popularized the one man, "lightweight" (at 45lbs!!!) 2 cycle, RELIABLE, chainsaw.

Yep, it depends on how you define it...

Comet if "one man" and "light" enter the criteria, maybe......

what part of 1926 dont u understand?

 

[(WLL)]

in 1926 Andreas Stihl designed the first bucking chainsaw it used an elictric motor. this was publicly accepted as the first ''real'' chainsaw. it was also the first mobile chainsaw. in 1929 he also patanted the first petrol-driven chainsaw, which was operated by two men and known as ''the tree felling machine''. these patents were the first successful ones for hand held mobile chainsaws designed for cutting wood.

Andreas Stihl - Father of the Modern Chainsaw
In 1926, German mechanical engineer, Andreas Stihl patented the "Cutoff Chain Saw for Electric Power". Born in 1896, Andreas Stihl founded a company that manufactured steam boiler pre firing systems in Stuttgart, Germany. In 1929, Stihl patented the first gasoline-powered chainsaw called the tree-felling machine. These were the first successful patents for hand-held mobile chainsaws designed for woodcutting. Andreas Stihl is most frequently credited as being the inventor of the mobile and motorized chainsaw. He invented what we today recognize as being the modern chainsaw.
