Best electric chainsaw?

[Justme]

Do electric chain saws stop when the bar oil runs low or do you have to keep checking the level?

You have to keep checking the level. I think for someone running a business an electric in exceptional circumstances would have limited usefulness a rechargeable would be a waste of time. Especially on a 100 cuts I bet you do more than that with petrol in 1/2 hour and thats in 15 inch timber.

You have to keep checking the level.

 

Recipe for disaster then.

 

 

I think the cordless ones have a very limited market.

We have a big stihl leccy one. Because the noise is different to a petrol one you can hear if you have forgotten and if that gets overlooked the chain hanging down is a reminder.

Bosch have just released an excellent electric chainsaw - BOSCH AKE 30 LI CORDLESS ELECTRIC CHAINSAW

 

It is the first cordless chainsaw with a 36 V lithium-ion battery. The AKE 30 LI from Bosch makes over 100 cuts with one battery charge..

 

Might be what you are looking for.

 

I do like mine

but I have loads of ones that run on petrol as well

and small medium and large but mainly orange ones:thumbup:

every saw has it,s use it just depends what you want the saw to do:biggrin:

The daily mail did a comparison on electric chainsaws a couple of months ago, might be worth a look

I notice vinyards and orchards are being increasingly planted in the south of UK, so maybe there is a place for these sort of tools:

 

ESPACES VERTS - COLLECTIVITES LOCALES

 

there is a dealer in Southampton who has calcs that show the high purchase cost pays back of a few years with fuel saving.

 

Apparently the pole saw is really good to use.

I am sure it is a fantastic bit of kit especially for pruneing but I sort of got it in my head he was going to use it for firewood production but I think I just got that wrong.
