Well, I have cut somewhere between 10-20 thousand trees now for hinge cutting between my properties, friends and family; with two gas powered chainsaws. I have a Stihl farm boss that runs awesome but is heavy. I also have a Husqvarna 204 (smallest residential one they make model number may be incorrect as I can’t remember). I use the Husq exclusively now for hinge cutting. I have been considering purchasing a desalt battery powered chainsaw as the weight and time actually running a saw to cut through the tree are both minimal. Most of the time, the saw is just idling as I am looking at the next tree to make my next cut. This idle time is typically when near hits occur with the brake or throttle, when I am getting tired. So a battery saw would not be running and prone to tripping the brake and smashing the gas on accident or something like a gas saw would be, while NOT CUTTING. I have been considering this 20v brushless 12” dewalt chainsaw as I have many 20v Lithium batteries for my Dewalt stuff already, so I am confident I could run it nearly “all day”. As I have gotten better methods at cutting I don’t have many times when I am even running the Husq at wide open any longer. I do occasionally cut down larger trees (over 16” in diameter) but not every day I’m out. I could grab the Stihl for Jobs like that if I went with this smaller saw. Even if this small saw worked 1/2 as good as the Husq it would be a significant advantage in saved personal energy and noise while I’m out there. Plus, I could take the saw anywhere with me without the smell of gas. I think it would be awesome for cutting shooting lanes when normal it’s a PITA to bring a saw and gas with on setup days.
Has anyone used this or have any experience with these saws? I cut way to many trees to even think about hand cutting with a silky, sorry guys who have them.
