Battery powered Husqvarna T536 LiXP as a first chainsaw, am I mad?

[SteveA]

Can't help notice lots of positive user reviews for the battery powered Husqvarna T536 Li XP see the specifications here: HUSQVARNA 536 Li XP® - XP® saws

 

....am I mad to seriously consider this as my first ever chainsaw?

 

We have 16 acres of mixed woodland to manage; and our woods range from scrub ~ to unmanaged coppice ~ to self seeded mini-trees ~ to medium trees ~ to big trees ~ to massive gurt trees.

 

I'm not expecting the Husky T536 LiXP to fell anything massive, and probably nothing much medium size....

 

My questions are:

1. How much work should I realistically expect this electric chainsaw to cope with?....
    
   
2. What's the maximum fell size?
    
   
3. Could I get away with just buying this and a much bigger chainsaw at a later date?

Not ideal for your circumstances really, can imagine it would b quite under powered from what you would need, and for the price of it you would b better of with a 550xp

Look at the battery life and the cost of spare batteries. Then there is the cost of a gennie to charge said batteries, and the fuel for the gennie.

Get a petrol saw.

Yes

About 1/2 hour of light pruning per charge

[*]What's the maximum fell size?

 

 

Twice the bar length with 3 or 4 fully charged batteries if you're lucky.

 

It's a good topping saw, not as quiet as expected but but reasonable for light use.

if your coppicing then as other post get a 550xp will do all you want and will not need a second saw just a sharp spare chain or 2 if you catch the ground which you will coppicing. the battery one will be wasted money for your job. other tools good anvils loppers ,silkie and a good bill hook.

Avoid charging from a generator I did similar and will kill my makita charger and battery :'(
