I'm looking for an alternative to the usual gas powered chainsaw.
Currently I use a cordless electric Ryobi chainsaw. While it's better than a handsaw or an ax, it's not THAT much better.
Two possibilities, somehow run an electric model off one or a set of deep cycle batteries, or a hydraulic chainsaw hooked up to the tractor.
Please, before you suggest I just get a gas powered saw as better, cheaper and more versatile, I physically cannot pull start a gas saw. I've had too many shoulder injuries, and I just don't have the required "snap" in my shoulder or elbow joints.
After much searching, I cannot find anything other than a thread on using a Hydraulic chainsaw as part of a firewood processor.
Does anyone have any experience using one hooked up to their tractor hydraulics? Is such a thing even possible?
How about the plug in electric run off of deep cycle batteries?
Any other suggestions?
I'm REALLY tired of having to call for help every time a tree falls over and blocks one of my trails.
Thanks!
