I have fell, limbed, and, bucked over 7 trees (Ash, Maple, and Popular) with this saw. I love not having to breath is two stroke fumes and get shaken up by a running engine. I use this saw with both a 4.0 ah and 2.0 ah battery and just love how it cuts. Very good saw for cutting firewood and felling small to medium size trees.
Once you control the balance it’s easy to use. You do have keep and eye on the oil tank. It only used 1/3 of the charge in half hour of work for 2 AH battery.
Last week I ordered this chainsaw after we were devastated by a very severe storm. It arrived yesterday and I helped my neighbor with his downed trees. This saw was half as loud as his gas powered chain saw and more powerful. It cut the downed trees into firewood for another neighbor almost twice as fast as my neighbors traditional gas powered saw. The best part it was basically the same price as my neighbors unit that it out performed.
Ok, this saw is awesome. You can feel the power just hitting the power button... cut thru limbs so fast now I need to find something else to cut up. And all without the noise.
I was not expecting an electric chain saw to be better than my gas saw. Well, this one is incredible. Living in Southern AZ we have trees with very hard wood. One is even named "Ironwood" and they mean it. I realize the chain on this is brand new but I took this out and cut through 4" ironwood branches like cutting butter. This will easily take care of all my tree pruning. I was really amazed at its ability to cut thick branches so quickly.
The pole is very long, about 7 feet from the blade to the trigger, over 8 feet total to the battery. With the battery on one end and the saw/motor on the other, it is well balanced although fairly heavy overall. That will probably be the limiting factor... I will wear out before the battery does.
I bought this 60Volt chainsaw 2 months ago, and it has done an amazing job, I had over 20 mid-size trees 30-40 ft high to clear and it is done in one battery charge.
