An amp hour is an amp hour. Forge overheats less and can provide higher discharge rates.
Being able to fit it in a 6” pipe across my truck would be ideal. My truck doesn’t have much practical room for inline storage.
I have 3x of the Forge 6Ah, 8Ah, and 12Ah. The 6Ah seem to work the best in the top handled saw, which is counterintuitive because the 12Ah is supposed to be 50% more output than the standard 12Ah, which is what the 6Ah Forge is supposed to match.
The telescoping pole saw is great. I really...
@Merle Nelson you’re making me want a 542. The problem is I have a Milwaukee and an absolute gaggle of Forge batteries.
I need to borrow my buddy’s 542 and see if it’s all that.
Also the number of batteries required could be rather staggering.
A gallon of saw gas has around ~33kW of energy. Assuming 1/3 of that gas's energy makes it to the chain, it would take 34 Husky BLi300 battery cycles to equate to the same energy, before the electric saw's efficiency losses...
I don't know that I've ever had to meaningfully work on a backpack blower.
I bought another BR800 last month to go with the 800 we normally use. I may still have the previous 600.
I have a lot of Milwaukee tools and batteries. Electric isn't the way for blowers, that I've seen. I wish Stihl...
You are liable to repair her vehicle and provide her transportation while it’s being repaired. If she’s willing to settle $1800 of damage for $2k all in, write it up, pay her, and be done.
Yep! It's 3 years old this month, ~8800 miles on it I think.
Absolutely no chipping, that would be a move in the wrong direction efficiency wise.
My usual groundy is a 63 year old retired UPS driver and if we need more help my assistant comes out. There's almost always room somewhere to get...
It's not perfect, but it has AC, is 4' wide, does ~7mph, gets the material to the grapple truck efficiently, and can side beside the stump grinder on the front of the trailer.
Rayco had a Monster tooth which was their Super Tooth scaled up.
I've never seen a tooth with a collar built in to index on the wheel. Seems like a curious design vs using a larger bolt.
@Woodman I’m a user and dealer of Nifties.
The fastest I’ve timed the SD64 going from boom fully stowed to fully vertical was 67 seconds.
The “new” (2020ish) SD64 have the engine speed turned down so they make just under 25hp for emissions. The older machines make 32-33hp. The pumps are...
