In case anyone wondered if this was possible, I finally started operating my biodiesel powered chainsaw today. Runs well. This is all part of my "grease economy" plan, a goal of replacing all types of fossil fueled equipment with renewable energy based alternatives. I'm on my way, but it will take a year or two more to replace every mower, string trimmer, rototiller, etc. Its not a matter of technology, as it is a matter of money.
The chainsaw is a Stanley hydraulic chainsaw that has two 50' hoses from the live hydraulic circuit off of the biodiesel powered tractor. Its pretty good, the 50' tether is so far not a problem, I don't want to cut stuff that I have to carry farther than that from the tractor. Its quiet, doesn't vibrate, has plenty of power, but is not heavy. It doesn't blow exhaust back in my face, but there is a vague smell of lunch in the air. Still have to do a couple of cords to determine if it is an unbridled success.
