    I thought 4 stroke chainsaws like the dolmar one was a dead & end batteries the new future. I remember some hype about hydrogen fuel cell laptops? Fuel cell chainsaws?

    Had to get new bearings after probably well less than 50hrs for mine . Since then I now I grease more often. (hard to actually keep a track of hrs of use?) Anyway probably done a few 100hrs since (guestimate) no further issues yet. The gearbox is seperate from the rest grease can't really escape unless the bearings fail

    Makitas one has a grease port
  12. Stere
    Yeah I grease mine just the same as i would a petrol one.

    Weed supression more important than any temporary N robbing imo. so id say fresh and if possible use layers of cardboard under also. From my experience even if you use tonnes of fresh woodchip it disapears really fast. Ideal would be using something that lasts a few yrs more but is still biodegradable like felted wool or hemp sack cloth but thoose cost more.

    A Larger box would favour the rounds taking less space as less large edge gaps

    Chainsaw chaps are terrible ungainly clumsy things to wear imo. Trousers are far superior and less faff.

    Blades can't be recycled apparently due to the composite material they all go to landfill.

    Magnolia? Bit of wild guess as hard to see detail in photo

    Longer is better as takes less longer strokes & effort to cut the branch but it might not fit in the pocket as easy is the only downside. Breaking/ bending blades i reckon is only an issue if user is cack handed & tries to cut larger diameter stuff its not suited to tackling and gets the blade jammed etc

    Max branch dia is listed as 23.5mm on that 40v makita i think Anyway the 18v does yr old blackthorn & pyracantha (dense woods) no problems which is enough for me Makita - Product Details - DUH602 18V LXT Brushless 600mm Hedge Trimmer WWW.MAKITA.CO.NZ Makita Power Tools. The preferred brand of power tool to the trade Two year growth plus blackthorns etc needs loppers/chainsaw etc

    Not used thoose two models but since switching to 100% battery now for hegde cutting much prefer them. I think if investing in new tools for hedge cutting that battery is as good as the best petrol now? This is latest makita 40v battery tool looks like the eqivalent to the stihl petrol would be nice to here any reviews of it comparing them .....head to head? Much more impressed by my battery trimmer than the battery chainsaws with regards to being light and the battery run times being alot longer than the chainsaws and not seemly being underpowered with regards to power to weight ratios. Think hegde trimmers inherently suit batteries. I also have a makita battery strimmer rated 1kw but 2x18v 5ah batteries only lasts 15mins One 18v 5ah battery will last near 1 hour cutting hedges on the makita trimmer must be a fairly low KW motor but doesn't feel underpowered
