Home made concrete ballast box. About 700 pounds keeps my 2650 planted and hold the chainsaw.
Let's see those chainsaw mounts!

- Start date
Anyone notice that except for the last picture, it appears all the saws are Stihls?
I'll be designing a mount for the B2650 in the next few weeks once the shop is done.

I'm always on the look out for a chainsaw solution. I'm not skilled or creative enough to make my own, and a lot of the ready made ones i felt were kind of over priced. But I recently stumbled upon this chainsaw holder, on amazon (sold by Northern Tool) it was only $28, not even on sale. So i figured id take a shot at it. I was really impressed, simple, sturdy, 1/8" steel. I cut the mounting brackets off the top and MiG welded it to BXpanded Carry all. It fits my little MS-210, and could easily accommodate a larger saw.
one more thing crossed off the list.

I used the Koplin chainsaw press mounted to my homemade ballast box. I designed the box to have room for a tool box, chains, chainsaws, oil, gas, and anything else I need. The tool box contains 3 foot, 6 foot, 12 foot, and 20 foot tow straps as well as tools, shackles, pins, etc.

Simple, cheap, works for me.
Now for the real question, What is my ballast?

It's actually rotated 90 degrees, that's the door hinge. It was a small vault from a bank that was torn down. Latter, someone tried to open it with a sledgehammer, destroying the dial and handle. It would be nice if the door was removed, but I'm not that bored.

It's that piece of shyt Husky....all it's good for!!
Oh wait, wrong thread....
Just poking fun!
That is really neat! I like the receivers top/bottom, hooks, chain storage, etc. I had to go out and make sure my big Stihl was in the garage....my bar is upside down right now too...
What's that weigh? Bet it's pretty "stout."

Don't really know the weight, guessing around 600lbs. I like it better since I put the box/saw holder on it.

Nice compact weight. Better with the saw-box on it....
We also had a similar box for tools, saw-chains, gas, oil, etc. that we carried on our homemade wood splitter many years ago.
