This is one of the most informative tree work videos I've ever seen ... and it was the work itself that did most of the talking.

Dewalt 20v chainsaw is 89$ at Home Depot right now. Obviously probably not the best saw for commercial guys but for everyone who wants one for around the house it’s a great deal.

Now that’s a fun crew! I’m looking forward to more videos with you three in the future. Nice work with the drone footage too. I think the Echo DCS-2500T would’ve been a good addition to this comparison. Keep up the good work, Sir!

I love my Kobalt Pole Chainsaw - 80-volt - 5-AH battery - 10" Bar - 6 ft / 8ft foot Pole Chainsaw. No electric cord. I've been using Oregon Bars and Chains. I have been using it for more than 3 years now. It works great on my southeast Louisiana farm clearing property that a hurricane went through and trashed all the trees throughout the woods of our 18-acre farm. I carry it all over in our woods and the battery lasts a long time. Today I'll be cutting a 6-inch limb off of a tree out front. I am also using (2) Kobalt 80 volt 18" Bar Chainsaws and using (2) 5 AH Batteries. Cuts huge logs great. The chainsaw first one wound up in a puddle and stopped working but after a couple of weeks and it had dried out, it started working again. For oil, I like to use Ryobi Bar and chain oil. We have cut 20"+_ logs and works like a charm. And NO more pulling and pulling to start a gas-powered chainsaw. - - - - - - - One 80v 18" chanin saw with 5ah battery snd charger was $400 as of 7/28/2021

[@sporranheid]

No. No! NO!!! This has to stop! You all are having waaaay too much fun, dammit! 😊Good vibes. Great content. ✌ P.s. There are so many good saws out there - Stihl, Husky, whatever. I have an inexplicable love for the 395xp.

[@matthewcarter5361]

Not every day when you get a comparison video and Milwaukee is the cost effective solution EDIT: do more with these guys. Funny dudes

[@austindouglas13]

I just picked up the Milwaukee top handle today (tool only) for $362 out the door. I already have a bunch of batteries for my other tools. Have yet to use it.

[@PimSchouten]

YESSSS!! Was looking forward massively to this. This is gonna be fun to watch :)

[@corygrossman1]

Super awesome to see Mitch on your channel! You three are so entertaining, awesome vibe

[@p32pac1]

I have the Stihl and the button is definitely a pain. The fix was to just tape down the top Orange safety lever with some electrical tape. Put the battery in and go. Just use chain brake like any other saw.

[@jl2450]

The blue tools are quite nice. Maybe you can get Makita to send you there new 40v top handle saw. Keep up the good work boys!

[@NickOvchinnikov]

Same with metabo/hikoki

[@aaronoconnor606]

Metabo hpt hasn't made a cordless chainsaw

[@aaronoconnor606]

And I have watched reviews on the makita 40v the thermal protection on it makes it cut out at the worst times not a very good saw for this kinda work.

[@bobwiese6128]

[@mathisgiasson5613]

Heyy men just wondering if you know witch type of chain and plate you put on the mini milwaukee m18 did you change the sproket to fit that? Thanks love your vide your a great inspiration!!

[@Gordon_L]

I think the cookie cutting at the end was near enough to a draw because the Milwaukee came out of the cut on the upswing and there was more delay on the Husky switching from finishing the down cut to starting the upswing .

[@WildAcresFarms]

Which honestly as a small time tree guy? Would make the Milwaukee the clear winner. Can pck a blower and 1/2” impact and grease gun for the heavy equipment that all run off the same batteries as the saw. (Batteries & chargers I already have.)

[@BramBiesiekierski]

Im not a tree guy, but I already have shit ton of milwaukee gear for my motor / metal trade. So when i needed a saw, It was obvious choice to get the milwaukee saw. And it does everything I need it too.

Hey Jake, next time just climb on Miches shoulders and you could probably reach the whole tree from the ground lol

[@MassiveRam]

Right

[@The_Faceless_Chad]

I have the original Milwaukee 16”, it has preformed very well. We had a bad windstorm last July, I went thru 3 batteries that night clearing up several trees that were blocking the streets in my neighborhood. Getting the top handle & pruning versions soon

[@eberry023]

The top handle version is way better from my experience in the last week, I wish I would have gotten the kit instead of tool only. I really like the 14" bar.

[@selfemployed1338]

Jake, if your shoulders are hurting you need to do some bodybuilding shoulder work. I know climber don't like the idea of lifting weights, but I can tell you from experience it will help. I'm 42 now, about 10 years ago my shoulders were spent. I did mostly bucket truck work. After I started lifting weights and getting stronger doing work above my head became easier along with everything else in tree removal. Having the ability to work as you age is the greatest ability you can have and being strong helps.

[@GoCoyote]

I have the larger Milwaukee 2727 with a 16 inch bar, and it is my go to small chainsaw for clearing brush and cutting smaller trees. I can go for for 6 hours on one 12 Ah battery when clearing brush. Nice to be able to use my other Milwaukee batteries, but it does have a couple of drawbacks. It seems like Milwaukee did not have a chainsaw person in the development of the saw. While the torque is fantastic, the RPMs could be a little faster than the 4000 RPM, and I feel that some torque could have been traded for speed, and the .043 gauge chain is too small for the available torque. I got an .050 bar and chain, and it cuts faster and does not get bogged down as easily since the .050 chain cuts a wider kerf. The bar cover has an odd angle that reverses in the direction of chip flow with an acute angle, so the chips start to build up instead of flowing out. I ground out some of the plastic with a grinder to get better chip flow. An adjustable oiler and an on/off switch with a 10 minute auto off would be nice to have.

[@TimberTrainer]

Nice assortment. I would like to see a comparison with the Echo and Makita top handle saws as well. I'm a fan of the Echo 2500t. $500 for the full kit, and another $150 battery gets you power for the whole day. That new Milwaukee looks like it has plenty of power. Built in scrench is really neat.

[@kabir424]

I love my 2500t. I used it today while climbing. It's so light compared to my gas top handle and not having to crank it while in the tree is so nice. I have used it for removals but most of my work is for pruning and that's where it really shines.

[@Krunch2020]

I have the Makita 10” and 14 inch saws since I’m on the platform, contractor kit, lawnmower etc. The 10” is super light and handy to operate with one hand. It doesn’t have the power to kick back and easily cuts up to 6” branches and logs. The 14” uses two 18v batteries and makes quick work of bucking 13” logs easily matching the homeowner Echo 14” we had on hand. The run time is too short and the charge time is too long but I have 8 5ah batteries so the job got done.

[@JessePawlak]

What’s the chain are you running on your husqvarna T540i ? Is that 3/8 lp .050 ?

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Awesome video, I recently did a battery powered top handle saw shootout with 8 “professional” saws on my channel and found myself having similar opinions as you. The power button on the Stihl was very aggravating and seems unnecessary when targeting a professional market! I loved the Milwaukee and own a hatchet myself but never seen one with a 12” bar, super cool! The little Echo saw and Makita really surprised/impressed me as well! Thanks for the content, it was nice seeing these saws used in real world applications against eachother!

Awesome video Jacob! Quick tip against sap/resin: Just use any vegetable oil or butter, it resolves the resin and than you can easily wash it all away with a regular soap 👍🏼 Thanks for the comparison, I will buy the Milwaukee since I already have a lot of Milwaukee tools 😊 Stihl as always just a joke..

[@valentinvogel5843]

For me a top handle saw needs good ergonomics and handling. Cutting speed is the second requirement. I think overall the best saw is still the husky. The Milwaukee seems nice too havent tested it yet. The stihl is just too bulky and i dont like the handle for the left hand. Additionally the 1 second button is a dealbreaker for me. For pruning i like the echo too. Super light. The stihl just feels

[@GuiltyofTreeson]

I feel the Exact same way, well said

[@hatchet2972]

I really enjoyed this video comparing the saws. I have a Ryobi 16-18 inch brushless 40volt HP chain saw. I like how it works alot and is also very light and cuts extremely well. You can also get 40volt 2ah to 8ah for longer run time. I paid 250$ with tax and shipping for the bare tool because I had other 40volt battery tools. I wanted to see you guys would get one and try it out and do a video on it. Also Ryobi and milawakee are owned by the same parent company techtonic industries.

[@trvr_inds]

What was needed to swap the 12” bar onto the hatchet, Iv been eyeing the hatchet but want longer than the factory 8”

[@richardflagg3084]

I'm a minute in and Husky will leave the other three in the dust. Husqvarna is way ahead of everyone with their battery products. They also give a two year Commercial warranty on the saw, battery, and charger. As battery tools go, the first purchase always stings. Add a second tool down the road and it's much easier to stomach.

[@inlinesix1187]

Milwaukee’s commercial warranty is 3 years on saw, battery, and charger. I own a 540i and might get the Milwaukee due to being able to dawg it in more when cutting.

No Makita XCU09 36v (18v x 2)? It's legit. A little on the heavy side, but cuts very well (with a Stihl chain, instead of the Oregon chain that it comes with). Going to convert to a Panther bar with 1/4 pitch chain, and it will be an absolute hot knife for 6" wood.
