i use a high angle sitting harness for about three years now and i have no complaints. XD

I knew a tree surgeon here in the Uk, and he used battery Husqvarna saws in London because a lot of the jobs he did early in the morning and people dont want to be woken by noisy chain saws. He and his crew also wore the same helmet as August to save shouting!

The last time I used my gas saw was the day I bought my Stihl 220.

Lets be real. Battery saws are not for professionals. Maybe to top trees or odd jobs. House hold use sure. But there is NO replacement for a gas saw. They last for a very long time and do not have to charge batteries making run time in the bush the only choice. There is no denying these simple facts.

I'd be interested in knowing the value of the timber in that tree.

Say something August

I can see you pause and look up at the tree like what did I get myself into! I saw me in you lol

That Stihl goes like my Ryobi - weakly.

Now do it with a muddy rope, in the dark, hanging in a waterfall, with early signs of hypothermia. Oh yeah, you've already been caving for 9 hours. Have fun!

I love your content. Just subscribed.

Holy Toledo! That tree was massive! How big did it have to get before the owner thought it should be taken down! How old was that redwood?

Great video! Thanks

I love my T542i, but my biggest problem with the batteries is after they have been recharged a few times, the battery life diminishes... a lot

“I’m a little surprised..” *sits speechless* lol same

Love the restoration job on the old Ford!!! ❤❤❤

I found the Milwaukee top handle saw too heavy and I hate the trigger safety!!!

had a stihl 300 and hated it.

i use makita and am now starting to mill with that 20ms 2x18v lxt tophandle (no meter wide oak slabs, but still). really fiddly to make it spinn up. made 12.0 ah batteries for it with china 15x21700cases and some of the simplest pcb's without transistors(they just burn) and some beefed up bussbars and power nor runtime is an issue. you are so right about how annoying all of the safetyfeatures are, almost as frustrating as makita refusing to make some good batteries for their 18v stuff. when they become available i will certainly start milling with the bigger milwaukee. love the concept!

Thanks for posting both how you down such a large tree and comparing the Stihl vs. Milwaukee saws. The verdict is self evident and a surprise. I'm looking for excuses.... Hmmm. The bar lengths are the same. Do both saws use the same chain width, the same tooth profile, equivalent tooth sharpness, and batteries starting with a full charge? If all those are equal, I wonder if having two batteries and two electrical connections permits a greater maximum current. (as opposed to Stihl's motor being inherently weaker) This is more than an academic question. A couple months ago, based on the name and tests documented on another channel. I bought the same Stihl MSA 300 and AP 500 battery. P.S. I'm not a 'pro', and don't need blazing speed. But I willingly paid a premium for something which should remain serviceable, with parts being available for well over a decade.

Just discovered this channel. I’ve never seen anything quite like this. Another profession I could never ever ever aspire to join (like astronaut or Navy SEAL). 😳🫣 But I really enjoyed watching from the safety of my ground level couch.

Thanks for walki talki on tree

Are you in high torque mode or regular for the Milwaukee? - steve, rooted arbor care

Fantastic short film August- great to see your daughter getting involved! I too have a red top handle and it’s been a great saw and cuts surprisingly fast for what it is. Hey if it works it works and better for fire season if you need to cut still!

Sound when that little chain just gets in the wood. Pretty cool.

Those little weapons go outa tune alot. But when right awesome'

Great vids dont like the 400 tho. N that hurts bro' but yer wrx for me has to now. Thanks

That’s the first time the I’ve seen a tree taken down using strops around the branches and sending them down a zip line. I was struck by the calmness you chaps displayed whilst up at the very top and particularly when the tree tops fell and the tree was moving around. The explanations and the speed of the verbal delivery made it compelling and interesting to watch. Stay safe and best of luck. W 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

The Stihl battery saws are truly junk... Apparently Husky is going to release one with a real clutch.

Thanks AH. Yer the bomb!

I have the Milwaukee top handle. It is a bit heavy but it too has good power.

I thought about getting a Stihl MSA 300 for packing in my truck along with my Ms 261c to go onto logging or forest service roads with .

Isn’t that always the question? How high should I go. That big M saw was spitting chips. Impressive

The 20 " metal detector always works best...😂😂

i was having problems with my MSA300 as well and thought i had a bad unit. Glad to see its not just me. Maybe stihl will come out with an updated battery or something.

Just like the pole saw. Bit heavy but its worth it. Nice milwalkee'

Got a stihl 220. Its got nuthin on the walkee' great vid

impressive . looks like your back in catching up with you.. the trade is tough.

The dual battery Milwaukee looks like a nice saw but at $900 for the kit I would get a 40cc -50cc gas saw before this. Pretty expensive for what you get.

what does the comparable 20" gas chainsaw weigh?

Awsome! Love this video! I have a daughter the same age hoping this video inspires her! Best thing a father can do

I am looking for the 542ixp😊

That’s an awesome truck. And by the way, it’s the first time I’ve seen you wearing gloves. I have the same pair. Got them on sale at the good old Home Depot.

That top was HUUUUUUUGE!!!

Do you know if there is a 1/4 pitch conversion for that m18 top handle? I can't find one but would like to try it out

“Back in the day” folks were using the battery powered sawzall with a demolition blade to cut firewood while out camping…. Fast forward 25 or so years and and they have a few reasonably priced and reasonably powerful battery chainsaws on the market… good on em for finding a niche in the market and filling it with something that’s enjoyable to run.

Cool. I want one😉

Looks like the Milwaukee for the win for sure
