This is a great way to frame it. I never worry about how much mix gas I'm using cus I have an effective unlimited supply. If I had more batteries I would probably naturally adopt the same idea. I was out working yesterday and cut down another couple 22"-24" dead oaks and was flipping between...
Interesting. From my understanding, the high power mode increases power output but that basically translates to higher torque/less chance of stalling in a cut. It does not seem to increase chain speed. Which means the time it takes to complete a cut in low vs high mode is the same so long as...
What batteries do you run in the Milwaukees?
Have you used the low setting enough to really see how it differs from the high setting? I have not used the high setting yet as I'm trying to just see what the low setting is capable of.
From today's job: dead but still solid, full of moisture at the stump red oak. Started with two slightly used 8.0 forge (3 of 4 battery indicators on). Notched it, dropped, bucked the log up in two places and started the stump flush. Made it about a bars width into the stump and the...
Agreed. I am of the mind there is no reason to buy a gas top handle ever again. I have the Milwaukee top handle and its got torque for days. The ergonomics can be improved on it but I would choose it over a gas top handle every day. I was initially concerned about the weight of the dual...
Discussion on the larger battery ground saws that are out.
We have the Stihl MSA 300C with 20" bar at work. I don't much care for all the button time outs when using it. Takes a special big battery to get full power. Looks cool though
I got my hands on the Milwaukee dual battery saw and...
I'm pretty sure that was me. Closest I ever came to dying on a job site was related to a pole saw falling free in a tree. Nothing happened thank god but it made me reevaluate my existence.
I made a short lanyard with a 3" eye on one end and a dog snap spliced in the other out of like 1/4"...
Without too many details, a friend of mine passed away and I bought a bunch of his gear from his wife to help her clean house. This rope was in the "on-deck" circle for when he was ready to retire his current one. As far as I know he preferred these larger eyes with the rubber band keeper for...
I honestly haven't used them in the field. The plan was to put these on some extra helmets and take them out when doing trainings with folks that didn't have comms but that just hasn't panned out and I found other ways to solve my communication issues without lugging around a duffel bag of...
