Strictly Street Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 In a smooth Aussie twang, David Burder shares his philosophy - the man with the biggest toy wins.It's best not to argue with a man with a V8-powered chainsaw, so it seems, he's right.For the last 18 months, Burder has morphed a 1979 Holden engine into a loud, proud V8 chainsaw - which he claims to be the only one of its kind in the world."In America they have two-man V8 chainsaws but this is the only single-man one in the world as far as I know."Burder, from the Whitlands in the middle of Victoria, said his beast weighs 330kg and runs on standard 91 octane petrol.The 1.2m blade can cut through a log half a metre thick in around two seconds. "It makes a lot of noise and a lot of sawdust," he said.He admitted it would be impractical to market, and simply made the monster for fun."It's just a toy, but I'm born of the opinion he who has the best toy wins." http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/farming/fieldays/10143443/V8-powered-chainsaw-monster-is-just-a-toy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 There are a lot of these custom chainsaw builds out there... I think someone did it with a viper v 10 at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
