Roll Bar Chainsaw Mount Hornet Outdoors Heavy‑Duty UTV Quick‑Fit Base

Description

Product Overview

The Hornet Outdoors Roll Bar Chainsaw Mount (model RC-3012, item number RZR-3012) is engineered for the most demanding off‑road environments. Constructed from high‑grade, heat‑treated steel, the mount delivers a weight‑bearing capacity that exceeds typical consumer‑grade alternatives, ensuring that your gasoline‑powered chainsaw remains firmly attached even when traversing steep inclines, rocky trails, or uneven terrain. The mount measures 12 x 5.98 x 11.89 inches and weighs just under 5 pounds, offering a compact footprint that fits within the limited cargo space of most utility‑type vehicles. Integrated Quick Mount Roll Bar Bases are designed to clamp securely onto round roll bars ranging from 1″ to 2″ in diameter, eliminating the need for drilling, welding, or permanent modifications to the vehicle chassis. A precision‑machined HDPE sheath accompanies the mount, providing a protective barrier that shields the chainsaw’s cutting chain from debris, impacts, and abrasive elements, thereby extending blade life and maintaining cutting efficiency. The package includes all necessary hardware, two robust T‑knobs for tension adjustment, and a detailed installation guide that walks users through the process step‑by‑step.

Usage

Designed with versatility in mind, this mount is an ideal companion for a wide range of UTV models, including Polaris Ranger, General, RZR, Kawasaki Teryx, Can‑Am, and Yamaha Wolverine series. Whether you are clearing brush on a remote property, performing routine maintenance on a farm, or tackling a weekend trail‑maintenance project, the Roll Bar Chainsaw Mount offers a reliable hands‑free solution that lets you focus on the task at hand rather than worrying about tool stability. The quick‑fit design means you can transition from transport to operation in under five minutes, a critical advantage when time-sensitive jobs demand rapid deployment. The mount’s low‑profile geometry keeps the chainsaw’s center of gravity close to the vehicle’s chassis, reducing sway and improving overall handling. Additionally, the HDPE sheath’s resistance to chemicals and UV exposure ensures that the protective element remains effective even after prolonged exposure to sun, rain, and fuel splashes. Users have reported successful use in forest thinning, firebreak creation, and even in municipal park maintenance, underscoring the mount’s adaptability across both professional and recreational applications.

Why Choose Us

Hornet Outdoors is a U.S.-based manufacturer with a reputation for delivering rugged, field‑tested equipment that meets the exacting standards of outdoor professionals. Every Roll Bar Chainsaw Mount is assembled in an ISO‑9001 certified facility, where each component undergoes a multi‑stage quality inspection that includes dimensional verification, tensile testing, and corrosion resistance assessment. The use of American‑sourced steel not only supports domestic industry but also guarantees a consistent alloy composition that resists fatigue under cyclic loading. Our design incorporates two T‑knobs that lock the mount in place, eliminating the rattling and loosening that can occur with cheaper, single‑point fastening systems. The inclusion of the HDPE sheath is a proprietary feature that sets our product apart from generic mounts that often omit chain protection, thereby reducing the risk of accidental chain damage during transport. Hornet Outdoors also backs the mount with a comprehensive warranty and a responsive customer‑service team that provides technical assistance, replacement parts, and on‑site troubleshooting when needed.

FAQ

Can this mount be installed on a UTV with a square‑shaped roll bar?

The mount’s Quick Mount Roll Bar Bases are specifically engineered for round roll bars between 1″ and 2″ in diameter. For square or rectangular bars, a compatible adapter kit is required, which Hornet Outdoors offers as an optional accessory.

Is the HDPE sheath replaceable if it becomes worn?

Yes. The sheath is a separate component that can be removed and replaced without tools. Replacement sheaths are sold individually and are listed under the same part number (RC-3012‑SH).

What is the maximum chainsaw weight this mount can support?

The mount is rated to safely hold chainsaws up to 12 pounds, which covers the majority of gasoline‑powered models on the market, including most 16‑inch bar configurations.

Do I need any special tools to install the mount?

No special tools are required. The installation kit includes all necessary bolts, washers, and the two T‑knobs. A standard socket wrench set is sufficient to tighten the fasteners to the recommended torque.

Will the mount interfere with the UTV’s existing safety features?

The mount is designed to sit flush against the roll bar and does not obstruct seat belts, roll cages, or other safety equipment. It is recommended to verify clearance with the vehicle’s owner manual before installation.
