HSM513 Manual Rotation Tree Saw With Extended Boom For Skidsteers
Aggressively remove overhanging limbs long fence lines on your farm, or small trees and dense brush from your rural property with the HSM513 long Tree Saw. Designed for skidsteers, the HSM513 is a hydraulically-driven tree saw that can be manually rotated to cut in either horizontal or vertical position. The heavy-duty construction of the Baumalight tree saw includes a solid serrated front push bar, ideal for guiding limbs, branches and small trees safely away from the operator. Assuring a long life of cutting, the HSM513’s circular blade features replaceable carbide-tipped teeth and is built with abrasion-resistant AR-400 steel.
What sets this model apart is an extended reach of 168” so you can go high up to clear the way for ever larger farming equipment or open up spaces on rural property. The boom folds over for more compact storage at the dealer and transport from the factory.

MANUAL ROTATING CUTTING HEAD
Effectively switch from horizontal tree cutting position to vertical trimming and limbing position with the 90 degree manual rotating head. Simply remove the 8 bolts at the base of the cutting head, rotate the unit 90 degrees to the left or the right and then secure the bolts.
Heavy Duty Build
The tree saw’s durable design and quality materials combine to create a saw that is able to stand up to the demanding work of cutting limbs and trees.
Clean Cuts
The tree saw makes clean work of limbing and trimming trees safely and quickly, leaving pruned trees with a clean cut.
Mount Angle
DropSaw’s skidsteer plate is on a roll back angle. This gives you even more flexibility to successfully trim areas that are difficult to reach.
Saw Blade Shielding
The durable shield encloses the blade for protection, directing the chips as it easily cuts through limbs and trees.
Blade Mounted On Heavy Duty Bearing Support
The tree saw’s blade is mounted on an overhung load adapter, which is designed with tapered roller bearings and built to stand up to the rigors of sawing limbs and trees. The overhung load adapter keeps the blade spinning in the toughest trimming conditions.
FRONT PUSH BAR
A solid serrated steel plate up front helps guide limbs, branches and small trees safely away from the operator.
AR400 STEEL BLADE
The tree saw’s heavy duty circular blade is designed and shaped from AR-400 steel. This abrasion resistant steel is rugged and ready for the abuse of a long service life.
HIGH SPEED TEETH
The concave shaped carbide tip of our High Speed Teeth provide aggressive cutting action by chipping the brush bit by bit. This round tooth is 3 teeth in 1. Simply loosen the lock nut and rotate the tooth to a fresh, sharp cutting edge. This can be done three times, extending the life of each tooth.
EASY TEETH CHANGING
The high speed teeth design allows for easy rotation and changing of the teeth as needed.
6 FREE TEETH
All HSM513 Tree Saw come with a free set of 6 replacement teeth. These replacement teeth are conveniently shipped in a robust enclosed compartment on top of the frame.
Designed For Maximum Visibility
Making sure you have the best seat in the house, the tree saw was designed with maximum visibility in mind, allowing you to make cleaner and better cuts.
PROTECTIVE POWDER COAT FINISH
Heavy duty construction and a durable powder coated finish.
Easy Access Panels for Service
Built for the long haul, the tree saw has multiple removable panels for easier access and servicing.
ANTI-SLIP MAT FOR EASY ACCESS TO CAB
For ease of entry and exit from the cab an anti-slip strip gives sure footing.
INTERNAL HOSE ROUTING
All of the hydraulic hoses on the DropSaw are sleeved for operator and hose protection while the connecting hoses are sleeved and wrapped in hose armour for double protection. The hoses are then routed internally, keeping them out of harm’s way. The DropSaw also features a pivoting arm with a greaseable pin keeping the slack out of the way which protects the hoses from dangerous pinching and strain.
Hoses supplied
Skidsteer tree saw models ship with the necessary hydraulic hoses, so you can connect and go to work.
Hoses double shielded
All of the hydraulic hoses are routed internally where possible and sleeved for operator and hose protection, while the connecting hoses are sleeved and wrapped in hose armor for double protection.
HOSE SUPPORT
Skidsteer Dropsaws feature travelling hose supports that relieves pressure and strain on hoses. A greaseable pin on the hose support ensures longer life and better performance.
Folds for Compact Transport and Storage
The extended boom folds over to reduce overall length, making the HSM513 easier to transport, store, and position.
GREASEABLE PINS
Our grease pins are zinc plated to prevent corrosion which will allow for smoother operation of the units joints over their lifetime.
What Is A Case Drain Line ?
On most skidsteer and excavator Hydraulic systems, Hydraulic motors and pumps require a case drain line. Sometimes referred to as a third line, the case drain line will relieve any excess pressure and drain it back to your return line, then into the reservoir. Without a properly installed case drain, that extra pressure could blow a seal or damage your hydraulic line. For higher flow motors or on piston and gear motors, a case drain line is always required. Although, no matter the size of your motor, a case drain is always a good idea as it will relieve the amount of pressure on your shaft seal, helping to prolong its life. A case drain line can also increase the efficiency of your hydraulic system as it will lower the back pressure on the tank line.
Since most machines have a unique style of coupler, BaumaLight does not include a coupler on our case drain line, although they are available. If your skidsteer is not equipped with a case drain, then it can be field installed.
How Important Is A Case Drain Line ?
If we say having a case drain is critical and you operate without one, you will blow out your shaft seal. Be sure to check the motor sizing charts on our website.
Exception If You Have A Hammer Valve
There is one exception in the need for a case drain on gear motors and that is if you excavator is equipped with a hammer valve, this is a larger free flow line back to tank.
