The Limbinator was developed by Frank Casey and a neighbor who wanted a better way to look after 500 Pecan trees. The 8 foot long saw can reach as high as 20 feet when it is attached to a front end loader on a tractor or skid steer. Aside from being convenient to cut off high tree limbs it is of course much safer to operate when compared to a chain saw. It only weighs 86 pounds and its hydraulic motor only requires a flow of 7 gallons per minute. At the time of our visit in 2011 the attachment was selling for around $2,200.
Mans ingenuity never fails to amaze me

Andrew would break it.
Arms family home stead show review this
Bout time a new Prairie Farm Report came out!
Thanks for another interesting, informative, and entertaining PFR!
where is the link to purchase one . price ??
Seems like a good idea until you have a guy turn the machine into a tree after the cut and bend the arm or the saw. Definitely a neat idea though and looks pretty fast!
That's awesome, thanks for the share.
Nice work :)
Its all well and good untill you look at the damage done. Ive worked in arbour culture for more than tens years and get calls all the time to clean up all the bark stripping and address all the improper cuts. (Bad cuts cause faster growth from weaker points, it just increases future work)
Though your comments are correct I doubt tree guys are going to be buying this tool when they have bucket trucks with hydraulic saws. This looks more for the farmer that wants to limb back the trees on his roads or the snowmobile club that wants to keep the trails clear. I don't think you're going to be using this for trimming up the trees in a cul-de-sac
Had a primative one on a front loader 35 years ago homemade. Long gone now.
Is that 2" square tubing boom strong enough to prevent bending and damage?
I’d assume you only want the saw doing the “work” not the arm. Looks a little precarious
How would you replace the cutting chain on it if necessary if the saw is several feet up in the air?
Really? Maybe you need to get a ladder!
Can’t tip the bucket?
Flimsy looking imo. A rough operator would destroy this pretty quick I think. Just my thoughts but cool.
Seems like an okay item for some but it's not really suitable for me.
so cool
Pretty useless for horizontal topping of branches or tree tops. Can't cut from the underside so you are guaranteed to leave a nasty tear-out on larger limbs. Not convincing me that it cuts faster than a typical gas chainsaw which runs 3x faster. I'll give it a 4 out of 10.
$2200 CAD = ~$1671.13 USD
I can buy a saw and a ladder for less then $500
@@Voice4orNoise and those guys on ladders with chainsaws make very entertaining videos. Duane
95% of them that have actually sold are sitting on a shelf collecting dust. It's an okay idea but in use it's a pointless waste of time
You can only cut straight no angle cuts or side cuts. It's Useless
This is for farmers, not arborists.
Dave Wigger if the tree is on a hill, you can come in from one side or the other to get your angle.
Owen Major gave the real answer.
@@TheOwenMajor farms only cut branches? Or farmers only like to sit in machines for work? What are you trying to say
@@Voice4orNoise This tool is for removing branches. Period. If you need to cut at an angle than this tool is not for you.
A hammer is not useless because it cannot screw in a screw.
There are many tools in agriculture that serve a very specific purpose. They are bought by farmers who believe the tool is right for them.
Side cuts ? now that would be danger
I would buy the unit and just use the saw and hose to trim branches off trees ide cut down
