Husqvarna battery top handle in stock

Does a fill of chain oil last as long as the battery, so fill up each battery change??

I have the still battery saw and tbh it's great for by the chipper as no starting but mainly use it in the garage.

Superb for fencing and joinery type stuff.

BUT it is not a petrol chainsaw replacement and it would always be an extra saw

They certainly have their place but I am sceptical as to how usable they are in reality.

As silky does most stuff I would use the still one for but usually I am doing enough cuts to be bothered to use the chainsaw where as pruning I believe I would use the silky!

This battery powered husqvarna will be much, way much better as any other battery powered saw on the market right now. And it is def a tool you will use every day up in the tree.

 

The oil lests for about 2 battery charges, so no need to fill it up every time.

 

If you look at the specs on this saw and compare it to others you will find out it has more to offer, look at chainspeed and accu capacity.

 

But best way to try it and find out yourself, I can tell you all sorts of nice things about it but once you use it you are def going to be impressed and be as happy with it as I am :-)

With all battery operated equipment the heat or cold will effect the batterylife. How much does it effect it badly? So much so u can notice the decreased time in

SO WILL F.R JONES & SON GIVE ONE TO SOMEONE ON HERE TO TRY FOR A WEEK OR TWO AND REPORT BACK ??????????????????????? And then you never know there maybe be some sales out of it.

This is a new toy and no one has the money to give away on gear that won't pay for it self.

I have a Pillenic battery saw, it's 3x the price and I am delighted with it, like any tool, you get to know its limitations and advantages , it's another tool in my arsenal of tree cutting devices.

It will do 20 mins cutting across the grain carving out large boards before it dies but 2 days coppicing 6-8" hardwood.

It's brilliant, last job I did was a heavy reduction on a yew and it was great, the final cuts were over twice guide bar, handled it no probs.

I spoke to the guys demoing the Husky at the APF, the diference is the battery is on the saw, mine is on a backpack, it's heavy but once on your back you forget it!

Makes the saw very light but the cable can be pesky, the husky looked great.

The batteries are indeed affected by cold circumstances, if you keep 'm in a cooling box in the car they work great, but when the temperatures drop below zero your actual working time will be a little less. Normal work it will last for about 45 minutes and an empty battery will charge in 20 minutes, so you never ever have to stop during a working day, as long as you have a plug in around to charge it.

 

The batteries won't charge if they are beneath 0 degrees and that's together with the lack of warm exhaust fumes in cold weather the only issue I have found out untill now.

 

But try to get a demo or a colleague with one to try and find out yourself. That's the best way to go for arborist ;-)

Good point, I would really miss warming my hands on the 020 exhaust.

We were clearing a load of branches away from the side of a BT run call centre last week. Within seconds of the saws starting they were outside complaining about the noise.

 

This would have been ideal until it came time for the bigger saws and chipper. I think Stevie Blair mentioned using his battery saw around an old folks home. Just as good next to offices in small business parks and a selling point.

 

Well worth considering I reckon. Thanks for the videos.

Just do it on a Sunday, when they are at home and charge double
