I got a pretty new 88" Greenlee saw with hoses and couplers for $800. I want to hook it to my bobcat and bolt it to the side of the bucket, zip tie the handle/switch, just like the limbinator, but much cheaper. i know its only a fiberglass pole, but i think it will be fine so long as im carefull and make a loose mount similar to the limbinator. Anyway its rated at 2000psi, and 8gpm, so what would it hurt if i ran it at idle with my 751? It should flow 13gpm and 2550psi at full throttle, but what would it flow at idle or low throttle? I know the releif would still be 2550psi, but would the saw really see that much pressure if i had the handle/switch zip tied open the whole time since i would be controlling it from the cab? My thinking is that if i dont throttle it all the way up, the flow shouldnt get restricted enough to build up the full 2500psi of the bobcat, provided the chain didnt get stuck. I would say 99% of all the limbs i am trimming are under 6". What do you guys think?</p></blockquote><p></p>
