Battery powered chainsaw

   / Battery powered chainsaw #391  
Arly, do you use any hand saws? I use a manual pole saw (fiberglass 6' segments with a saw plugged in at the top) a lot around here, and often use just the saw portion for direct pruning. These saws are sharp enough to go through a 3-inch oak branch in about 20 seconds with no worries about a battery getting too hot (warms me up though) - green wood, at least. 3-inch of hard dry oak takes longer. The saw goes through pine, wet or dry, almost like it's not there.

I'm not saying to go full manual as I definitely see the use of power tools for a full day of work, but I'm just curious.

The overheating issue is interesting. I have 20 volt DeWalt chainsaw and pole saw and I've never had them shut off due to heat. Maybe I don't run them hard enough, but I"ve cut enough with the chainsaw more or less continuously to run the battery down and never had a heat issue. Maybe this problem is specific to certain brands?

No hand saws here. When you cut all day, our day would be awful short operating hand saws. :LOL:

These little Makita we use are marketed as limbers. But when i go to cutting larger things, it will over heat. These are tinny, light weight saws and I run them one handed so I no long carry loppers yet i can take down much larger trees than my 32" fiskar loppers can handle. Seems I only paid $200 for them each.

Gee, I own a pristine 090 as well as an 075, bought them both new when I bought my 028 about 42 years ago. I was flush back then, not now. Dang 090 sounds like a motocross bike...

Juist sold an MS290 in mint condition for 400 bucks with a 20" bar and 2 loops.
Does that 090 have a kick start? Wow. Whatta monster. I ran an 075 once on some walnut. I had to hold it back.. Beast as well.

I was just using a Makita XCU10 18V
It kept kicking off in the cut. Annoyingly so, but I was testing it's ability to cut .
After about 10 minutes, the battery (3AH) was spent, and very warm to the touch.
I might have to get one in spite. ;-)

That is the battery saws we use. Project farm guy did test them and I agree with his Makita assessment.

So I have a bunch of battery operated tools.
The trimmer/pole saw etc. that I take into the woods, I usually have a cart or tractor around.

I want to be able to carry 2-3 batteries, M18 8AH into the woods or along the roads and leave behind everything else.

Anyone have a favorite bag to carry batteries that won't interfere with using a trimmer or pole saw?

Trying to avoid backpacks, but needs to be shoulder carried and can work without putting down.

Any advice?

I use my 090 for stumps. It's not for your typical battery power operator. :ROFLMAO:
