The nice thing about electric is no fuel to mix, it starts everytime, unless the battery is dead. For small jobs it’s fantastic, if it sits for a year no gas to go stale or carb to gum up. My next saw, trimmer or blower will be electric, just bought new gas equipment last few years so could be 15 years before I go electric,lol if we’re still here….

Always get a deposit and don't be Mr. Nice Guy!

Excellent video. Thank you!

Pretty impressive. Thanks

There couldn't be more warnings, stickers etc on two stroke machinery than there already is.

I have a power more same engine. I bought it in 2009 and it runs perfect.

Would any of this apply to an older 028 super?

That was very informative video, thanks a lot Dony, Electric gardening equipments are easier to use and more convenient for sure but nothing can replace the sound and smell of a two stroke engine in my opinion.

Excellent! This is the best video I've found

Great tutorial for novices like me.

Yeah I could see a use for this but when u live in Scotland like I do yeah I feel big brother aka the government is forcing battery cars & everything else my other point our price for electricity in our country is strataferic..... for charging etc & we also pay big time for petrol/gas ive got a ms180 dose all the fire wood I kneed so won't be swapping any time soon 👏👍

How to fix it it has low compression

A good combo with the Toro battery snowblower would be great for many but very pricey.

I carry a small saw when cutting out trails for the ATV. This would be so much easier than yanking on a Stihl for 5 minutes every hundred yards of trail.

It's impressive to me did a good job

Lithium will get more expensive

I was thinking about Houston Texas and no electricity to charge up the electric chainsaw there 😢😢😢 Smart ones have gasoline saws and cans of premixed fuel for emergencies 😊

Perfect for the average homeowner on a small lot who needs a saw once or twice a year when a storm drops some limbs or knocks a small tree down. Not everyone needs a Farm Boss.

Absolutely. Your time is well worth it.

try out an echo cs4510 chainsaw

Works every 2 years when I need it. Quite also. St.Paul,Minnesota.

Batteries... Burn so well. Better than Gasoline as they self-oxidize!

When the new tariffs come into effect then the prices of those batteries will go sky high.

I have a Stihl Farm Boss 290 for cutting firewood. It works great but it's pretty heavy. I want an electric chainsaw for light cutting and taking it in our side by side when we go for a ride. This would be perfect for that. Todd from da Upper Peninsula of Michigan

Wasn't expecting it to do very well. But it looked like it handled it. Still, say this is 'not' the go to for larger jobs. The batteries will be a concern. Seeing that they are 60v, expensive. If you don't already have Toro. That means now you have to buy chargers etc. Most guys run what they have. For instance. DeWalt, Makita, Millwakeee, & so on.

I have used the Ego 56v saw, and it was very impressive, chain speed made my head spin! This was 2 years ago, they now have a commercial line, that will impress, greenworks is making their mark as well.

Seems like a good saw- I think this would be fine for noob homeowners and actually prevent a lot of those 'first chainsaws' from going into the landfill or scrap after they get accidentally abused or damaged. Or maybe for a more senior homeowner that still likes doing light yard work but doesn't want to fuss with gas and oil and fuel stabilizers. Some of us that already have a big saw and little (or climbing) saw wont be buying one anytime soon.

Very good review.

i feel gas is better

I have a gas powered blower, and a 20v max battery powered blower, I go through 4 20v battery packs blowing my property, as compaired to 1/4 to 1/2 of a tank of 2 stroke, now until they can make a battery cheap and last as long as a tank of gas, I will be repairing or buying gas powered period, battery powered is a joke, rather it be the cyber truck, or this machine.

That was 100% my problem thanks so much!

Tecomec actually manufacturers the balancer for Oregon. I just purchased one for $75 and comes from Italy

Couple years ago I picked up a royobi saw and I love it. I already have a lot of tools and batteries so very convenient.

👍

Think I'd replace the sides after running it and checking for leaks..pretty confident

Great video!

I like that Traxxas on the toolbox. Do you get much time to RC?

Morning donyboy73, I am still debating on a electric chainsaw, seeing what is the best. Live out no man's land. That's why I carry my ms 170 and ms 250 we have alot of power outages here during the winter. Awesome video 😊you have a great day young man. ❤🦅🦅🦅🙌🙏😄

They can keep it 😊

I like a 14 inch bar and chain . I cut up any size tree and electric saws are ok .

Looks like it would be ideal for a senior citizen. But if you can't pull start a gas unit you probably shouldn't be using it.

Nice demo. I own a brushless Ego Power 18" (45cm) chainsaw. I bought it with a 5Ah battery. It's perfect for cutting down small trees and trimming trees around my semi-wooded property. I'm slowly migrating from gas to battery-powered outdoor equipment.

Hey Donny im im Windsor Ontario the city has grown a solid 60.000 in population in 2 years big EV plant being built massive construction projects the city todayis almost unrecognizable with how much developing land has been done. My majority of income is selling equipment not repairs I take 20$ off a machine for a trade in then eventually I get enough trade ins to build and put together a few solid mowers to basically supply itself the used market here is insane and im getting loads of customers that have rental properties. I also take in a ton of free stuff and pay scrappers for mowers. Last season I sold 280 mowers for around 120 160$ each.

Can you help me to locate the spark arrestor on my Stihl Ms 311 ?

40:1 seems to be the sweet spot for my saws. Burned up one of my MS261s with 50:1 a couple years ago.

now you have to wait to charge it...i gas mine up in no time hate to know how much a spare battery cost

When only the best videos on small equipment will do, Dony delivers. My new battery chainsaw works well for the smaller jobs but will never replace the power and performance of my gas chainsaw. As Dony said, the population is getting older, and at 64, a smaller saw comes in handy for the smaller jobs. 👍👍👍👍👍

That’s a small saw for light duty cutting but it does have its place. Many arborists use them now when they climb way up. They don’t have to pull to start the saw…safer. Not noisy, either. One drawback: if a storm knocks out power you can’t recharge a battery. Nice video, Don! It was great watching you buckin’ logs!!!

I doubt the price on the batteries will come down. Government mandates about electrical machines will almost assuredly drive them up due to demand for the materials it takes to make them.
