Nice video. Been a pro logger for 35 years so nothing surprises me, until I got the chance to try a 540i last Thursday. I was very impressed. Currently doing property lines for a mill, this saw should be perfect.

Looks like a good add to the arsenal for deer camp use 👍 thanks for taking the time to show us real use of tools

That’s very impressive! I’m gonna say I didn’t expect that kind of performance. I figured it’d be okay for car trunk saw or ATV rack to open a trail but that’s all I expected it to be good for.

Thank you for this. Been looking for a video of this saw. Gettin one myself, doing a lot of thining / brush cutting in young treestands. Will be interesting to go full electric.

Excellent review! The battery life might not be ideal for the all-day professional feller but for most home use folks it is more than adequate. I recently fell a large tree and during limbing I had to keep stopping to move limbs out of my way. With gas I would have been constantly stopping and re-starting the saw. With the battery unit I could just pick it up and go.

Just used the top handle one while on ropes today. It is a joy with plenty of kick to work with this saw. Husqvarna did a good job with this saw.

Great video, we recently got our hands on this saw as well and were really amazed with it's ability.

I have just recently tried the stihl battery top handle saw.. I was completely impressed.. also I will say I am a hard core stihl guy if you watch my video in a few days about the new 500i you will see .. but that being said that was awesome I am completely impressed .. anyways great video

We also have this saw and I think its perfekt for residential areas in which we use her. I never thought it would be so powerful

Great video. No questions here, you just showed it will do more than most can throw at it.

With this saw battery and motor technology has come a long way!

Excellent video 👍👍👍👍I have run chain saws doing production felling and limbing and bucking since 10 years old i am 43 years old now. It would seem strange with a electric saw after running Husqvarna and Jonsred gas saws all the time.I am from northern Minnesota i am not sure how a electric saw would do in below zero weather. I run 20 inch .058 chain on the saws up to 575 Husqvarna and a 24 inch on my 394 Husqvarna for oversize pine and hardwoods. Keep up the great videos.

Thanks that's cool. I love my Husqvarna saws and mowers. Thinking about battery soon

I just picked up a used 576 because of you lol I used to have a 365 but switched to still 6 years ago, thats crazy, a 20 inch bar on a cordless machine

Amazing performance from the saw! Awesome!

Looks pretty powerful for what it is great video Tim

We all have our ways of cutting, don't change what you normally do, thats an impressive unit

Dam thats very impressive!!!! Perfect RZr saw an around the house!!!!

Very impressive for battery powered saw! Nice video.

That's pretty impressive 👊👊 thanks for sharing

Excellent video Tim. Just had the Husqvarna rep at work. We ran the 540IXP against a 201. There’s a video on my KZfaq channel of the race. Hope you don’t mind me posting this. I’m just as impressed as you are. Thanks Rich.

Mighty impressive Tim. I recently dropped a White Oak with an Atlas 40volt from Hobo-Freight... Although it completed the task, I had to do it in multiple takes due to Duty Cycle and recharging! The bore cut was THE WORST! That Husqvarna you're sporting is definitely in a different league, it appears to be a serious saw and would be ideal in certain circumstances. I have a friend who carves with a Stihl battery saw. Although he likes it, I'm thinking yours is a much more serious contender. Thanks for posting. Bless'ns to ya. Tedd

Awesome little saw great video tim

Good Sunday afternoon Mr. Tim.

Awesome video. I like the helmet camera. Great point of view

good real world test. from a viewer in the emerald isle

Would like info on the helmet. I use the new technical helmet now. Good little saw

Great review. Great saw. Did you swap out sprockets to be able to get a 20” bar on there? I can only find a 16” bar that come stock.

is it better to plunge cut like you do as opposed to a simple back cut from the outside?

Great video great gear you're wearing. Amazing you can get a pro saw running on batteries. Looks like a world of difference between the Milwaukee and the DeWalt and all that consumer stuff they're selling. Not bad for a thousand bucks. 👀👍

Loved the small comments - they give live to the video :) I have a few questions. After filming the video (with the borrowed equipment, if remembered correctly), did you go and buy it? If you somehow obtained it, do you use it instead of the gas-powered chainsaws? If it is the start of the day and the equipment is ready for use and you have 30 trees for felling, which chainsaw do you reach for in the truck to start your day? This is the real question? :) I would love it if you answer the question sincerely and honestly :) Thanks! Svetlin

Great video. Have been trying to find the one that you are using but all the guys around here say that it only comes with a 16" bar, nothing longer. Any thoughts?

What bar and chain are you using? I'm looking at the 540i XP and it seems to only support 14-16" bar. How are you finding it working with the larger bar.

cuts ok for a 40 cc equivalent. might need three batteries to put a good load of firewood on the pickup...and twice the time to cut. I think I’ll stick with my 555 for making firewood. electric saw ok for in town, tho

How many times have you tried to crank it when you pick it back up??

Best limbin saw ive seen. Cheers

The smaller gadge are nice they stay nice and sharp even cuting ded stuff the big heavy chisel chain is nice culmting threw logs.they get dull fast where the chain on electric and 550 can cut brush for days and stull cut right trew a log and its light less tiresome

What helmet are you running I've been looking for a secondary helmet and I really like that viser on it

Wow only 300 bucks to get trained by you that's a steal 👍

Great video man, thumbs up

That is pretty awesome performance.

How do you like the balance and ergonomics of the saw? I like the way the Stihl 220 feels, unlike some of the other brands where the read handle is easy at the back (Milwaukee, DeWalt etc). But the Stihl seems like it's a bit weak, this one seems like it's really usable power wise.

How big was the tree im thinking about getting one but i don't want to cut a tree and have it left standing

Great vid and info

Really enjoyed the video! I was really impressed by the strength and the torque of saw. Remember when the battery saws were like the kid toys, cool but not really useful. Times sure have changed! I think it would be nice to have less of the noise and more to enjoy nature plus less fatiguing over a long work day. Still the gas powered ones sounds good! At least for a short time lol. Appreciate the safety pants!!! Always scares me seeing people running around with jeans... Safety boots and pants have saved mine and my dads legs and feet several times. How is the vibration in the handel? Same as a gas powered one or less?

Thanks Tim,how many similar trees would you have cut with a similar sized gas saw on one tank of fuel.

thanks for the info.Stay safe.

I didn't understand what is up with the high presision cutting ,isn't the tree in a open field???

hands down huqvarna do the nicest saws

Can’t wait to see more footage from the helmet camera.

Seems you hear the chain. With gas you can't hear the chain(maybe on a pole saw). For what's that worth. Still a little louder than I'd expect. Course better hear in person. Interesting to see how they break in.

Hearing electric saws out in the woods, instead of a gas saw. The woods never would never be the same. Nothing like hearing a big saw cutting down timber!

Hello. with this saw it will be possible to cut one tree completely into pieces of firewood. And how long will the battery last with this usage?

Can you give some info on your helmet and goggles? Maybe a link? Thanks.

Hello. I have the Stihl MSA 300 for what I can see on your video seems like the MSA 300 with be fast, but I believe even with best battery witch I have, it with never last as long. Mine have 3 power settings using the battery AP500 however with a 16" blade cutting logs that is used about 80% of the blade I just got about 15 minutes cutting time, very short time. Yours seems slower but maybe is better. I hope Stihl comes with a better battery, because the machine itself the MSA300 is a joy and powerful machine.

What belt/suspenders is that? I’m selling one of my gas saws to buy this saw. Thanks for the vid.

Does it have plastic gearing inside, its what interest me (electric chainsaws are known for that f-up in design).

Ive used petrol saws for years, but getting drawn to electric saws as i only tend to use the saw for fire wood these days and think noise from my petrol saws drive the neighbours up the wall.

The saw sounds like a toy--BUT it is a SERIOUS piece of machinery!And after you use it no “gas-exhaust” smell on you or your clothes. The tool is light forwhat it is and how it works

I like the 12 weight but I could tell that it does not have anywhere near the power of my ms 360, 440 or 460, my primary felling saws. It may do a good job on small stuff or limbing trees but there is no way I would use it on a 20+ inch hardwood. If I did, I would be there all day gnawing it down.

Thats a bad little chain saw right there, and to be honest with ya I'm kind of surprised it lasted as long as it did. Great video there sir I liked it👍

Good vid man

Cool Saw .....would like to know ..how long does it take to fully charge the battery once it run out ....Rgds from Adrian ...North Borneo

Sorry but this only reminded me of "The lil piggy that cried Weeeeee all the way home..."

E super tare. . . Cât rezistă o baterie la 5-10 mc de lemne?, și timpul de tăiere față de una pe benzină. . . !?👍👍👍🙋

Good saw but i prefer the gas ones, especially the first generation of 372's!

Unbelivable battery performance compared to my Ego 18" with a 7ah battery, that only manged clearing one tree.

for that size of trees are good even not worth to buying again because of higher price and you must have lot of batteries with you if you go in Wood for bigger work

Good thing about electric is u have absolute 100% power instantly and if u have a good battery u have no maintenance issues power wise

Best video!

If u have a few extra bateries saw is great it their like a tank of gas she did great any one isent inpressed they just cant get inpressed

Wow thats cool 👍 🇺🇸Trump 2020.

I go to church with one of the owners of Lanier outdoor power!!! Wow small world

Still a GREAT Vid.

Do you generally prefer those bore-cuts? Might a conventional notch/face-cut save even more battery power?

Just wondering about run time. Would you have had to fill your gas tank if it was a 400 cc gas saw after 10 trees?

Battery saws are cool but they are still so far behind gas in terms of power. Ive got the Milwaukee 18V chainsaw and its pretty darn good but it is still weaker than my little 40cc echo by a lot. 1 gallon of gas is bascially worth like 20 battery charges. I love the battery saw and my Milwaukee battery pole saw gets a lot of work done. When it comes to cutting up thick trees and stuff you need gas end of story. I cut up a medium sized tree today with my little Echo 40cc and I wished i had my Stihl 391 on me. WIth the battery saw the job would have been pretty much impossible to do in any reasonable amount of time. Not to mention I would have had batteries overheating left and right.

Cool

There good, but I prefer a good O’L two stroke.

Impressive

If anyone is going to get these, look for the Redmax branded version of these batteries being clearanced out. They're 25% off the normal price at my local store

Husqvarna top💪 Nice video 👌

Nice saw

Hi Tim , just curious how the Husqvarna saw is compared to the Milwaukee saw?

Very nice chainsaw 😍

Sweet video but I must say I never saw a logger with a outfit like that just to Saw trees nor using Wedges and a axe

Tim didn't you cut more trees down with the Milwaukee battery saw if I remember correctly?

Tim Can I find the ppe gear you wear on the husqvarna web site or is there another place to purchase it? Thanks for the awesome videos

Battery saws are strong theses days...Only problem is when the battery goes bad it's very expensive to replace...This is why I don't want a battery saw...

Im having a hard time finding out where this saw is made - where is it made please ?

In Ga myself.

Now try that on a 36"" across tree Hell even 24"" for that matter and TBH it's not really if it can do it it's how long can it do it one tree?

We have noticed that the battery last as long as a full gas tank. We have noticed this on all of our crews

Is the 540i xp really 20" I cant find one online.

Dang

Good stuff Tim, thats a serious saw, ideal for handy DIY work for sure, You deserve an odd lie in man:):)

20" Bar or 16"?

Does bli200 40 v0lts work on this model?

Husqvarna 372 still my favorite

That looks like poison ivy on the trunk, and the saw was spitting P.I. shavings and sap back on your cloths. Did you get it?
