Sagebrush posted:how long would it take you to cut through, say, a fallen 18" pine with that? idk the only reference i have is cutting through a fallen black beech trunk to clear a path. it felt a little bogged down and needed a couple cuts since the chain isnt that long, but it still did the job but tbh if i was cutting down a tree i'd just get a pro to do it, this has mainly been used for clearing a lot of gorse (4-6" trunks) given that pros still use gas i assume theres a reason since carrying all that extra weight must be a pita otherwise

fuel is so energy dense compared to battery packs, if you're doing anything like this for more than a short time it's easy to imagine batteries are going to give significant grief especially because you only need a plastic bag to carry more gas not some kind of fancy battery

echinopsis posted:all these battery posts have me re-evaluating the way I feel about battery tools i mean objectively yes but it depends on what you’re doing. i think a chainsaw might be one of the last noticeable differences but given how good all the rest of my battery stuff is i would 100% try a battery one before i bought a gas-powered model. oh, and snow blowers, ime battery snow blowers still suck in comparison if you get more than a couple of inches of snow at a time

i bought a 20v weedwacker and its... alright. not for the job i needed it for (i thought i'd use it to chop down all the weeds that engulfed my backyard from building as the builder hasn't graded the land yet) - it's about 15-20 minutes on constant high speed so when i actually only have a little bit of weeds growing or edge trimming for grass it'll be golden at low so battery lawnmowers are good now, eh? any brands? i know of ryobi up here in  i thought about getting those reel push ones too but just for the front yard. they make gas ones with the same blade but they are like $3,000 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JYQ80fMRAk SWARDMAN

nice, it's about $400 to $500 CAD so ill maybe get that next year. we're gonna put sod down in the front in september hopefully and just let the fall and winter help that out, so i got time to save up money for the spring. then in the back just gonna over seed and hope for the best.

before i let my lawn die because of the drought i had a reel mower and it was nice. Not much more effort than a gas one if you kept it oiled and sharp, and a lot more peaceful. But of course my lawn was small, its not something I'd do for a huge suburban lawn.

echinopsis posted:all these battery posts have me re-evaluating the way I feel about battery tools if you are still using a 12v ni-cad power drill, get your hands on a 18v lithium system and prepare to have your mind blown. batteries are vastly better today than they were even ten years ago, let alone 30. i still don't think they are up to 2-stroke engine power-to-weight ratios, though. gasoline is the queen of fuels

fun fact: all the 18v and 20v battery systems are identical. 18v is the nominal 50% charge voltage for a 5-in-series lithium pack, 20v is at 100% charge. some marketers figured out that they could capture the MORE NUMBER BIGGER market by quoting a different part of the charge cycle.
