What is the good Chainsaw for clearing?

[tradosaurus]

Keeping your chainsaw serviced (cleaned, chain sharpened, fueled, oiled) after every use will help you cut consistently.
I have three (3) Echo CS-490's. If you are doing a lot of cutting it's nice to have a backup or two.
Also keep your chainsaw chain out of the dirt as that will dull the chain very quickly.

I finally decided to get the Dewalt 60 Volt Battery Powered Chainsaw, as the reviews on it were good, but it is very hard to find them in stock or the batteries. Not a good sign... Same thing with the Stihl, Echo, Husqvarna battery powered chainsaws, the stores/dealers advertised them, but either nothing in stock or missing even from display. Needed something as starting on some of the lots, so trying out the Ryobi Battery Powered Chainsaw, we shall see..

Where you located?

South Florida, you have to be careful with anything of quality as people come from the east coast and clear out anything of value..

Let us know your thoughts on it once putting it to the test ...

Very impressed with the Ryobi, knocked down several trees with ease. It cuts through them as they say 'like butter', and the battery lasts all morning, and got a spare to use for afternoon. Not heavy, so can walk around the woods with no problem, and even the bigger trunks are easy to cut, although I dropped one too close to the house with a tremendous thud and the 'boss' came out...

My Brother owns a Makita 36V (uses two 18V batteries). Makita claims it "delivers power of a 32cc gas chain saw". I've only used it once, but I'd guess that's about right. IT's a little less powerful than my Milwaukee M18 Fuel battery saw

Seems like these things should be in every woodchucks arsenal. Was looking for a new limbing saw. Perhaps one of these would fit the bill for that.

I saw those, but to replace two 18V batteries instead of one 40V seems to complicate things.

He got a Makita battery saw simply because he was already heavily invested in Makita cordless tools anyway. The convineince of using batteries and chargers he already owned far outweighed the few seconds extra it takes to swap 2 batteries instead of one. THe financial advantage was obvious. I'm not a huge fan of the Makita saw. It's a little under-powered for my needs, but he does not sue it heavily anyway, so I can see that it was a good choice for him.

I also applaud Makita for coming up with a strategy that lets their users share batteries across a lot of tools
