A nice petrol/battery mashup.

the weight of 2 5amp batteries sucks the joy out of the battery experience for me.

The pushbutton start puts it back. Dismantling trees typically means lots and lots of stop/start so getting rid of the pull cord is great.

 

Love my 18v for pruning and reducing trees but it doesn't cut fast enough for a dismantle.

 

I'm intrigued by the 230T but I have two petrol Stihl toppers so really don't need another one.

The little petrol makita is great,and as little as its displacement is-22.5 cc?It becomes quickly apparent that its a LOT more powerful than the makita duc 254.But both have their roles/strenghts.

(Bad piccies) of my pair of coloured bramleys hugely reduced.When I went back,astonished to find the couple who owned the garden had spent close to 2 full days chipping up the HUGE amount of waste with a bosch domestic shredder.V.impressed but also slightly horrified!
