Milwaukee Battery Top Handle chainsaw

[Hay Dude]

"green" has nothing to do with me using battery.
Battery = QUIET. My ears ring 24/7, no need to make them worse. No smelling exhaust fumes, and basically zero maintenance.
If I am limbing, or cutting small saplings and need to move around a lot, I don't have to keep yanking that dang rope. Finger off trigger, stop. Finger back on trigger, start.

I agree with that. To me, it has nothing to do with “green”. I have a lot of tree huggers and self proclaimed “biologists“ and “climate change experts” as customers. When they see an electric chain saw, they go crazy with delight. They watched videos of lumbermen in those old silver helmets cutting down rainforests with big loud saws that made them cry to their mommies.

The electric saw appears to them as a “kinder/gentler” chainsaw that quietly & softly cuts their trees down.

It works. I’m living proof that electric saws appeal to your “expert” customers. They will laud you for “saving the planet”

I’ll get another one when the right ones hit. I think I’ll try a DeWalt 60V top handle first, then hope for a bigger twin 60V 20”. A little lightweight top handle would have been perfect yesterday. My son was bucking 1-2” limbs with my 500i LOL

Why are you keeping the 75 and 90 if you banished them to the shelf?

I bought them bot when I purchased the 028 many decades ago. Still use the 028 regularly but the 75 and 90 are very heavy saws with their bars and loops on and both are fairly hard to start as well and in reality I should sell them as they are very much in demand by collectors and others but they have sentimental value for me so they sit on a shelf in the shop, drained of fuel (and dried out) as well as bar oil, the loops are sharp (they both wear .404 full and tooth chipper chain) and maybe some day I'll sell them or my wife will, but for now they can just stay where they are and collect dust. The 75 wears a 36" bar and the 90 wears a 2 man 54" buddy bar.

They remind me of days gone by back when I was young, dumb and full of .....lol

Even using the compression release on both of them, you'd better have a firm grip on the recoil and pull it with authority or they will stretch your digits real quick like.

At 74 years old, I doubt I could start them even if I wanted to and I don't. Another reason why I like the Echo's with their reduced effort I-30 starting system.

Whatever blows your dress up I guess. Battery saws do nothing for me. Having stated that I do own cordless tools, just not the overpriced Milwaukee or DeWalt ones and I did buy my wife a battery powered chainsaw so she can putter with it but I'd never use it anyway. I look at them as something for the female gender.

First off, I don't have to as this is (last time I checked) a public forum and as such dissenting opinions as well as correlating opinions are ALL welcome, including yours which I sometimes find to be irritating as well but I don't whine about it, unlike you do. I'd put you on ignore but I don't simply because I find your inane comments entertaining. You really need to get a life and quit whining. You are an adult I presume? If I am correct in that assumption, then act like an adult and not some snot nosed kid.

 

[5030]

Thinking about it, maybe you should retire to your 'users group' where you can tout your expertise in all things you feel relative to your philosophies with no dissenting comments. It don't play that way here last time I checked.

Distilling it further, TS bub.

You TROLL have spoken again.

Leave the BATTERY thread and leave us alone. You dont want battery stuff or to learn and made it well known, so LEAVE.

We are all laughing at you in back ground.

Lets save trolls post.

I like that one sounds just like you. A older man that is spoiled rotten thinking we all must think like him.

Thanks for the morning laughs. We are all laughing at you in back ground talking about how insane you sound.

You are acting your age I guess. 5 going on 6?

For a guy your age you sure do act like 5-6 if folks dont agree with you that is true.

Again if not interested in battery stuff and learning. Please move on out of the thread.

 

[5030]

You completely missed the point, as usual. If I agree or disagree and want to post that, I'm entirely within this forum's guidelines doing just that and I really don't give a hoot what others 'think' about my comment or comments.

I don't live or sleep or interact with any of them or you for that matter and candidly, in your case especially, I have no desire to know you or interact with you except on this site.

You can post all the disparaging comments you want to, don't impact me one way or another and just shows your immaturity and nothing more and a LOT less I might add.

 

[xyz123]

I give up. Cant get through to your insane mind.

You cant just grasp it to leave us alone and move on.

Will just over look you.

Have a nice day.

Being this is a Milwaukee BATTERY thread.

Has any of you ever tried their pole saw or that pruning pole saw?

The pruner one does have my interest after someone brought up that they wished they made such. I found in a quick search they already have them.

So, shouldn't you sell them to someone who could use them and wring the last remaining life out of 'em?

I think you're just being provocative with that comment but carry on. It's laughable that you refuse to see the value of battery chainsaws as an option.

I was not aware of that pruner but it is interesting.

I have a Stihl hand pole saw with three sections so I can get pretty high from the ground and I've never used the pruning attachment that came with it. Good to know it's an option.

Ya I got a manual extendable pruner. But never knew they had these.

If that one guy wouldnt have ask if they made such. I would have never know either.

Batt tools helping get the nasty saw torn down. Got to love it.

I can see where those battery pruners would make money for a landscaper doing work in high end neighborhoods.

Wonder how long it will take for Milwaukee to come out with that as an attachment to a power head?

So, I guess you like yanking. Whatever floats your boat.

Some people think everything they do or own is the best, and anything else is “junk”.
