Chainsaws

[Mr.Glock]

Spent about five hours cutting up large trunks today. Never missed a beat, three tanks of fuel. Seems to work well.

I’d say it’s broke in sir! Best of luck and congrats on a new tool!

If you run out of something to cut come see me i can keep you busy for a while.

I'm surprised how many "men" are suggesting a battery operated chainsaw. What happened to the love of the sound of a 2 stroke chainsaw?

I've got an 18" Ego that works out great when I'm doing a lot of cut-stop-drag-cut-stop-drag. I went all in on their stuff and have a total of 4 batteries so at least one is fully charged while the other 3 are charging and they charge pretty quick. And customer service is great. Only complaint is with the bigger amp hour batteries it gets heavy. Also have an 18" Stihl that's my go to when doing non-stop cutting, only problem with it is me. I can dull a chain in NTF, but as someone mentioned above I think it might have something to do with the oiler. It doesn't use much B&C oil at all, not like other chainsaws I've had that slung it everywhere. Had a guy that used to fell trees for a living tell me that one tank of fuel = one tank of B&C oil, anybody else ever heard this? Mine will go through a tank of fuel and use very little B&C oil, like unscrew the cap and if you tried to put more in it you'd get more on it.

I don't know if it means anything, but my Echo goes through about 2 tanks of oil to 1 tank of fuel.

I have mine regulated to one tank of oil to one tank of fuel. When the fuel runs out, it's time to fill both.

Yep....I bought my wife a battery operated Stihl because she always wants to 'help' but can't handle a 'real' chainsaw. No way it can do what I do with my saws.

Exactly! You bought the battery operated one for your WIFE.

It doesn't seem like that long ago you shared a story about a tree and chainsaw putting you in the hospital.

I LOVE my Dewalt 20v chain saw and my 20v Dewalt poles saw! Lot of needs around my old farm for just a quick work with the electric stuff. Easy to just grab, slap a battery and walla done in minutes.



They sure make it easy up in a tree too, to top it out to the point the gas saws laid it down.

These two trees are the ones the wife and I fell. 32ft extension ladder and the Dewalt Chain Saw and Pole Saw. Should have rented a bucket truck, but just got up in them and went to work one day. It took us 5 days to get them down to stump grinding.


I took a job down in Chickasha and had to live there about 10 months. This is the house we bought.

Second photo shows two HUGE maples we also took down. Took us over a month to get them down. Again the Dewalt 20v worked flawlessly and made it easier “on me” than a gas saw.
