I'm trying to decide on the same setup. I just bought a Kolpin chainsaw mount that was half-price at Cabelas.

I do know that mounting the Heavy(engine) end solid and on a supporting surface is best. I had a chainsaw setup on my first Ranger and twice I warped the bar the way they suggested.

 

I was looking around for ways to mount a chainsaw on my rzr too after reading this post... There could be a way you could make a slot in the bed to stick the bar down in, thus saving bed space. Of corse have a bar cover on the saw when you put it through the bed and then just bunjee or strap it on the top of the bed. You would have to make sure it would always clear suspension, exhuast, and airbox too. And that it dosnt flop around.

Another idea is make some sort of plate that mounts in the bed with the polaris locks, then have a quick attach system (maybe wing nuts?) for the saw to attach to the plate.



The best thing to do I think would be to buy a fitted case for your saw and just strap it in the bed. This would protect the saw the best from mud and everything. You might even be able to drill 1" holes in the bottom of the saw case over the lock and ride holes and use the locks to keep it in place.

 

get a ranger or rhino wont have a problem going that route... haha im feeling helpful today

 

I have been wanting to do the same thing. I had to turn around on a huge hill today when I came across a damn tree. Nothing like having to back down a hill with the RZR. It was small enough for 3 people to move but too big for my girlfriend and I to move and we were by ourselves. Most of the time the RZR can go over them but this one was wedged about 3ft of the ground with no way around it. Wish I had that chainsaw!

 

polaris makes a chain saw holder for the ranger check it out I think It would mount up to the rzr with a little help

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked into and it mounts outside of the box. I have a hard enough time not clipping trees as it is. That thing would get ripped of in a heart beat hanging out the way it does. I think the ideal way is to have a mount like theirs but have it connect to the roll cage somewhere.

 

Did anyone come up with an idea for a chainsaw mount? Does anyone make one or the rzr yet?

 

out here in calif if your caught cutting a tree your in trouble!!!!

 

Sneak up on the chainsaw from behind:rofl3:

 

Hey, I want to go riding with you some time...seriously...

 

i carry an eastwing ax between the seats,got 2 damned blister yesterday removing a annoying tree.i'd take a chainsaw but they dont usually agree with me,i can never get them started.

 

this is begining to sound like friday the 13th

 

after 8 balls reply,it really ssounds like friday the 13th.:run:

 

I'm interested in a chainsaw holder also.. I carry a machete mounted on the driver side in the cab.. It helps with clearing some stuff, But I'd really like a easier way to carry my chainsaw.. Right now if I want to carry my saw I have to remove my lock and ride box and strap the saw and its case in the bed. The case takes up a ton of room, But the saw rides better in the case then just laying in the bed. It would be nice to find a mount that gets the saw out of the bed.

Got a used ranger chainsaw mount.Thinking getin 1 1/2 in tube ,weld on plate, mount on rear,so i can stiil have use of bed,when finished and if it works will try to post pic .New at forum,thanks for all the ideas,and info

 

My chainsaw mount...$4.00 at Sears. I put the bulldogatv cargo box brackets on the polaris lock and ride cargo box and strap it in...lotta woods in Maine:ride:

 

good idea! I also put chainsaw box on top off lock n ride cooler ,by drilling 2 lock n ride holes in bottom works great but limits cooler access.

 

Atr rack works perfect for me. A little expensive but I can carry everything I need for trail cleanup along with 2 Gal. gas can for rzr, cooler for driver, and the lock & ride box all under the rack.

There is a chainsaw, hedgeclippers, bow saw, comealong, bar oil & fuel all in the rack.

 

I finally got mine mounted on rear using ranger mount,so now i might use your idea to carry afew more items ,love this site so many good ideas. post pic if ican figure out how!
