Carrying case for full wrap handle saws?

[1Alpha1]

I'd heard at one time, that Stihl actually makes a storage / carry case for a wrap handle saw.

Never seen one in person or on-line though. I keep forgetting to ask a dealer myself.

Oh wait.......like they'd know. Never mind..........

Damn sorry for your loss. Everyone ok?
Was that your shop?

Ya that was my shop. Lets just say I'm finding out how much insurance I don't have. Lost all my saws, tools everything. Polaris ranger, my sons pickup.

Yeah that sucks, you had some nice saws in your sig.
Have you started separate thread on this?
Not to mention the vehicles lost.

OMG. That so sucks. It puts a knot in my stomach I know how you feel I had a building collapse on my business and the insurance got out on some loop hole. But I am sure you heaD something on it. It was in Toledo.
I pray your insurance comes through. If you need anything let me know ( PM me) I will do what ever I can.

That's ok hoskvarna, It's no rush. I'm sorry to hear about the fire, I hope noone was injured.

Oh not bad, F40's are rare in Scandinavia. Got any pictures of them that you could send me?

Here's the trailer, i'll see if I can dig up some more pictures later.

The power take off trailer wheel drive is a slick idea. I have a cut off pickup bed trailer, with intact normal rear end, and been wondering about how to do that with the truck I use to pull it, but just doing it with a tractor is much easier in theory. Gearing and such would have to be researched though. But then again, no worries towing it as is with the tractor.

Wow, that really sucks about the fire! Keep us updated about how insurance covers or doesn't cover stuff, I'm sure we can all pitch in and donate stuff to get you back with some tools and saws, etc.

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knows of a case for full wrap handled saw. I would like something for when I have to transport my saw.

Well there is something like this. I know stihl makes one as well but I think it too is limited to a 20" bar

It took my dad and I a while to figure out how to piece it all together, but it was a fun build and the trailer works as intended.

PTO powered trailers are great. A 2wd tractor with a pto trailer has far better traction than a 4wd tractor and trailer. Even a regular trailer can be improved alot, by just adding oversized wheels and playing with weight distribution.

I will most likely make a thread with pictures from the build and the restoration of my two Ferguson tractors.

CoreyB,

I was on the hunt for such an animal a few years back and never did find an actual case. I resorted to building my own box out of plywood, but got kinda carried away. Here's the thread I started on the subject, complete with pics of my finished project. Certainly can't really be called a "case"...way too big.

The wildland fire equipment suppliers often carry fabric chainsaw bags. Here's a nice one made by the Pack Shack:

I've seen this one up close--it's nice...if kinda spendy.

Good luck.

I have posted some things in a related thread. Might give you some ideas:

So far I think, a used army duffel bag is the cheapest.

with that said, just had an interesting idea..how about a convertible handle instead, then a lot of cases would fit. Start with a normal half wrap. This has two small sleeves to the side for attachment points, the other half snaps on when needed with a normal pushbutton spring arrangement, like as used on other sorts of things, extension poles, etc. The sleeves themselves could be bolt on, meaning any number of existing saws could be modified.

Sorry for your loss.
The Polaris should be covered. And most of the tools. Not the truck unless you had a rider. But ANY parts for the truck will be.
I should be able to help you. PM me.

I know it sucks because I have been through it. It doesn't feel that way now but you will rebuild.
I already knew how to put up a barn but what I learned is invaluable- how to deal with insurance companies.
