And consider Makita equivalents if you already have batteries but you’d probably want to consider moving anything over to 1/4” picco. How fine do the cuts need to be? Curious about the whole process to be honest. Would be delighted if you did a thread on it and other fruit production matters.

 

Thought about filming it as I have a action camera ,just need to sort the app out for it.

 

Those trees are Gala and the owner is changing them to a very red gala .

We did 10,000 two years ago and only a few thousand last year due to administration problems.

If you don't want the cost of a new battery set up (ie charger and batteries x 2 or 3), then have a look at the small Echos.  The top handle police might have something to say about their ground use of course.  If you can afford a battery set up then the Husky battery saws are great - they will easily cope with what you want and even larger. Ditto re the top handle versions...

Could just get the rear handle 2511

Sounds interesting, I'd also love to see a dedicated thread about your orchard work. It's something I'm hoping to get involved with in the future.

The makita saws are very good

I concur. They're the only chainsaws from a general building tool maker that are actually a chainsaw (as opposed to a tool that looks like a chainsaw and broadly works like a chainsaw but is nevertheless not a proper chainsaw).

I work on a tree nursery.

This is extra curricular activity for me.

But I will try to do something.

I was at the orchard this morning cutting graft wood under moonlight at 5.20

That's what I thought! A 200 seems to be massively overpowered for a wrist thickness limb. 1/4 chain should make a cleaner cut too 

Battery life is only 40 minutes max. and charge time is fairly lengthy. 

Even with two batteries I am not sure that I will get many done in a day.

What do you think?
