I have a 200ah Invicta slim line lithium battery in my hilux, and a 2000w Redarc inverter. Expensive set up at around $2000aud a piece but the battery for eg has a 7 year warranty. I use this set up to charge my husky batteries and I don’t worry about draining the aux battery. 200amps of lithium is a lot of power, essentially equivalent to 4 lead acid batteries of a standard size. lithium you can drain to around 10% with no voltage drop Also have a solar panel on the roof of the Ute to help keep it topped up. Do a bit of research into lithium batteries as I think that is the answer. Another benefit of lithium is it charges quicker than lead acid, so you don’t need to drive as far to replenish it. I have a 50amp DC-DC charger so essentially 1 hour drive puts in 50a, but you can add multiple dc dc chargers to increase the charging speed. Petrol generator to charge the batteries seems. a bit counter intuitive 😂

None of the above. Get the t540i.

That’s the one 😅

Hi rich that’s correct we worked together in Norway by the way 😉

I’ve just bought one. Only had picked it up last Wednesday (ordered early November) but so far so good 💪

Can you clarify what you mean by panther bar chain combo? As I have the standard with a 12inch bar but not a fan of the micro chain (am a fan of the saw itself )

I’m in Australia I think it’s 230v mains im only at this stage planning on running 2 of the husky 200 battery. I see what you mean about the exterior socket that would have been a good idea except the fridge is a bushman one which only runs on 12/24v. My old Engel runs off mains as well but I’m swapping to the bushman as it is front door opening instead of on top of the fridge. Makes it easier to get to everything thanks for your help

Well there’s roughly 90-120mins driving I do a day and also when I’m home I plug the Ute into a mains charger via an Anderson plug in the rear bumper. I do this because I have a fridge in the canopy so if I don’t drive for a few days it’s not a problem. I just would rather charge in the vehicle so it’s not more things to take out overnight and then forget the next day

It will be wired in to a 180ah agm second battery so it can charge even with the engine off. The vehicle I’m getting is going to have a custom made canopy with a 1000w inverter

I’ve also seen husqvarna sell a 12v charger would it just be better to get that?

Thanks for the reply.

As in the title really does anyone know how many watts are needed for an inverter to charge husky batteries off 12v? cheere

Neither country is letting foreigners in for the foreseeable, due to covid. At least until the end of the year I think they have stated but depends on potential vaccine etc. Worth bearing in mind

I own both. Albeit in different countries. The 500i is noticeably lighter. Almost the same power. Unless you are doing a lot of big timber id go the 500. Much better all round saw

Yeh mate, how are you going? Iv moved down to near Tønsberg now! Still freelancing in Oslo most days though

I have a Cert III in arboriculture from Melbourne, & now Im living in Norway Its been suggested I should do ETW. Don't think Im going to bother though, when very few people here have it anyway & what I hold is a similar level of qualification just under a different name & from a warmer place with bigger trees!

allied pickfords, its pretty cheap i sent a heap of stuff, cardboard boxes full of clothes, pictures, tool box, 2 x large red gum slabs, a flat packed work bench and a few other bits. about 1200 aud

Is there no such thing as common sense anymore? It would surely be impossible to cut your own leg with a power pruner. I wouldn't cope working in an environment with people like your management!

Why do the smaller bandit chippers in UK often have dual axle? Is that to do with the weight and what is legal? In aus I think up to the 1890 is single axle

forget the crappy stihl or husky fuel containers, i reckon these are far better. A bit more expensive but 10l is a much better size and the nozzle works better too. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/765-102-Stens-2-1-2-Gallon-Fuel-Can-No-Spill-1405-Rotary-13460-Oregon-81010B/291808028761?epid=22011375886&hash=item43f11d2859:g:X3AAAOSwOVpXdmV~

Depends if its a prune or a removal. If I SRT to the top I dont like to have my saw as the teeth can grab on the access line and pull strands. Plus a long SRT is noticeably easier without the additional weight

The only photo I could find... but I was super impressed with how it performed on this tree [emoji106]
