( sorry if this in the wrong place please move if needed ) 

what planet is the author of this on ? when he can show me a battery chainsaw that will run all day whilst being efficient ,and be as long lasting as your good old 2 stroke .then maybe we can revisit this .

It won't let me read the article.

 

However if you have the budget then it is possible. I go to lots of places where everything is electric. How often do you need to go bigger than a 200t and 261 looking after parks and street trees? Both are available in battery powered equivalents. And if you have the money for all the AP500 batteries your no worse off.

 

From my own experience doing hedge cutting with a battery hedgecutter and chainsaw is no less effective than doing it with petrol. When I do an Arb day I use my 542i as long as I can before going petrol. It is just the way the world is going.

 

As I mainly do felling and big trees my 550 572 are my go to saws and the practically of making the 572 battery is not there yet.

Did they drive to the job in electric vehicles ? What's the point of this article or of trying to achieve net zero while aeroplanes are flying over chucking tons out and ships deliver the goods from countries that are polluting the atmosphere making them ?

A mate of mine won an emergency bid for work within Oslo from the kommune.

 

Pushed through and due to start the following Monday.  They turned up and were told it was a green site, my mate had no electric saws.

 

The kommune went and bought an array of electric saws and a couple of hours later they started.  The larger saws ran out after 6or 7 rings in a large stem.  Work stopped.

 

The irony is they needed the work done to a timeframe.  The solution was to use an Elctric powered 360 to carry everything off site and then use the traditional 2 stroke and diesel chipper to complete the work.

 

The Kommune had even got them an electric chipper which ran out sharpish.

 

Totally bonkers box ticking exercise for the Greenists who make the rules.

 

Job done, matey got paid and went home with a load of electric saws that he hardly ever uses.

He’s not your mate. Anyone who when confronted with such aggressive idiocy doesn’t say, “I’m not playing your stupid game.” is an enemy of freedom and an enemy of you.

Freedom for Tooting!

one of my points is how much better for the enviroment is it when to produce a battery involves so much green toxins being pumped into the air and water and then the free green power from the big coal powered power station .

landmans tommy knows.

Yes but no. Freedom, yes. Harmful communism (as if there’s another kind), no.
