| Anybody have 1? The larger unit. I want 1 to clean up some 1-4' tall cedar trees on moms crp ground. Ya I've got several other battery powered saws/drills/impacts. So having a different battery brand doesn't bother me. Local hardware store has a decent price on them compared to other places. Thanks guys. |

| Can't speak for Stihl really. My accountant works at a tool supplier and says they are not as popular since their customers already have batteries for DeWalt and Milwaukee. Our personal experience is with Greenworks 40v saws. Very pleased with chainsaw and pole saw. |

I've got a HF Lynx chair saw and pole saw, both work well when I'm trimming trees and chipping the branches. Definitely not a production saw but does the job for me. Really like that it starts when I pull the trigger and only have to add oil to the bar oil tank. |

There is a guy on YouTube that did a comparison on several different brands. The results were interesting and he did a very thorough test on them. ------------- 1957 WD45 dad's first AC 1968 one-seventy 1956 F40 Ferguson |

Put your genny in the back or your truck and buy an electric one. You can use it around the house and you don't need to buy batteries for it. Friend has one from HF and it cuts real good. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

| The Lynx that Harbor Freight used to handle works good for cutting trees you need extra batteries cause it really can go through them. |

I have a couple of Remington 120 volt chain saws that work well. I also have a B&K 20 volt pole saw, it seams rather slow. Dusty ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

You might want to consider a chainsaw that uses the same battery as your existing tools, especially when you price out a 2nd battery for the Stihl ! I've got both 16" chainsaw and a 10" pole saw, both 120 volt, I run from a power converter run by a car battery. Haul the trailer behind D-14,makes for a safe,flat platform for trimming. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

| Jay, I only have 18 and 20 volt drills/saws. I do have a 110 volt Remington we use at the woodshed. Woodshed is 15 feet off the cement patio, about 35' from the back door. I've got 3 or 4 generators here but the only one that I would be comfortable running this saw is too dang heavy for me to get in the pickup. Another large 1 is built into the motor home and another built into her trailer. I want to take this out in the CRP and clean out some small cedar trees that are sprouting on moms farm. Plus use it in my timber on a whole bunch of dead elm trees that are about as big as my upper leg. Maybe I'm just wanting to buy a new tool or sumptin. According to my research, Stihls large saw has a 45 minute to 1 hr battery life. My dang back limits me to about that long doing stuff like this. |

| Some years back I purchased the first 40 volt Craftsman saw that the Sears store in Lincoln, NE got in stock. Loved it. Light and handy for trimming. Believe they were made by Green Works for Craftsman. Several years later it was stolen while in my locked pickup which was in a locked shed at one of our farms. Since then I have bought an E-GO brand 56 volt saw. Not cheap but this thing is very impressive. Will saw with any gas powered saw of comparable size. Wouldn't hesitate to buy any of their products. Have several dealers in our area now. Assume they are available all over, not just here locally. |

I second the electric idea----got one here that I take out in the field with a generator. 4,000 watt coleman runs it just fine. ------------- http://machinebuildersnetwork.com/ |
