If you'd asked me three years ago about a battery Chainsaw, I would have laughed. Now I'm pretty convinced I actually want one!

Definitely...cutting logs, splitting firewood is my relaxing time...just being outside getting some fresh air and accomplishing something. I was the same way when I was working, could not wait to get home to work on the house, yard, etc...lol...it was, and now in retirement is my therapy ...I guess u would call it being Zen....as long as I can...I will own my own home and work outside....wife asked me to minimize my ladder climbing and big tree felling ...outsource to the pros...I still maintain 10 face cords of firewood for the fireplace, and 3 face cords for the fire pit ......always have 3 cords to split, and recent felled trees to chainsaw into logs...My two friends have the bigger Ryobi battery chainsaws....I have used them w beefier amp hour batteries, will have to look at the Stihl....32 yrs w my Stihl 028 Wood Boss, 3 w my MS170....having a battery saw to compliment these two makes sense!

Mike, it is truly amazing what a person can get done in a short amount of time. That mountain of wood that you have split is getting bigger and bigger. Great video!

Nice job Mike! You are very lucky that you had ANY fire wood to cut and split...Melissa was on a tear she was doing the double arm pull and yelling and just plain having a blast! Great video Mike, thumbs up.

I'm with Mike on the Stihl 220. I used mine for the first time today on the top a wind blown Cyprus. Multiple branches ranging from hundreds of skinny dead ones that take the edge off the chain through to the biggest at about 13". I used two batteries, first battery still had some charge after an hours cutting when we stopped for lunch, I put it on charge anyway. The second lasted an hour and a half before going dead with no sign of power loss. We cut a lot in that time me cutting and Tony stacking. Ok so I'll have to use my gas powered saws for the bigger stuff but I'm impressed so far. It cuts probably as fast as my Stihl MS250, I'm no Buckin Billy Ray when it come to sharpening but he's taught me a lot. Minor gripes are I pinched my finger several times squeezing the trigger and saw dust gets into the battery compartment, not sure how the latter will be if it's wet?

Yah awesome little saw. I can see the novelty wearing thin for stuff over 6”. That splitter is a beast. Thank you for sharing your day.

I have the MSA 140 and absolutely love it, I’m thinking I’ll eventually have the 220

Really impressed with the chipper video as there is just something very satisfyingly to see the chipper work (but the mill still rocks). And I have a couple of battery chainsaws and they too have become my "go to" saws as they are just too easy to use and I'm not building a log cabin. Great video and thanks for sharing, Hey Hunter! ✋🏻👴🏻

Hope than when buckin comes to visit you can out it in his hands and uses it. Love to see his reaction to it and his opinion. Keep up the good work folks

Greetings from No VT - Impressive saw, battery technology has really come a long way. Thanks for sharing your experiences with this new technology. The Wolfe Ridge Splitter always blows me away.

Another awesome video Mike! Wishing you your family and all the subscribers a wonderful day filled with love and goodness! That little MS220 is most impressive for small tasks.

Mike, I really like that saw. I don't do a lot of wood, just clean up fallen branches and a small tree or 2 around the yard. you convinced me to buy that saw. I will be buying this weekend.

So much better than all the electric “toys” I had as a youth. Love the saw. Two batteries and I can do a lot of damage!

Agree!! I love my small Makita battery chainsaw. Priceless for tiny jobs on the property! Cheers!

I am also impressed with the electric saw and how long the battery lasts. Personally I have no use for one but carpenters, home use type stuff like general garden tree trimming I can see it. Thanks!

Impressive little saw. Saw the chipper video yesterday, LOVE that chipper. I can see the real benefit having one of those on your property. As always, Love y'alls channel. So long from eastern Ky....

goes through the trees like butter !

I have that same saw and I've got no complaints at all, great for the smaller jobs and so quiet I can work over at my Mum's place without disturbing her neighbours!

I have a Stihl 220 C myself, great saw, very impressed with it.

You are Apsolutly Spot On ! With that being a handy Saw for A quickly Load of wood!!👍👊

Love watching! Waiting on the new stihl 220 with extra battery to show up on Friday ! Keep up the great videos ! Dan from Spaniards bay,Newfoundland, Canada

My oh my. That is some mountain of firewood. Have a productive day

I use my battery powered saw now much more than my MS 291 or Husqy 450. Just convenient to grab it and cut as needed; no priming or restart.

Even a year after you uploaded your video. Seeing how much many cuts you can make with that saw. Was the big influencing factor for me. Then after you showed us viewers how much battery life was left. Clinched it for me, thank you sir for a great video.

Amazing how far those battery powered saws have come

Good morning Mike. Great job with the battery powered chainsaw. Pretty convincing use of the saw! Since they have come so far along with the batteries and chargers they are much more appealing and seeing what you were able to get done in such a short time is icing on the cake. You can still be busy with out so much prep time and time spent cleaning up the mess you have made. Seeing is believing from a HONEST website!!👍👍. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.

Still wanting a wolf ridge and am becoming more and more impressed with the ranger. That thing does not live an easy life and just keeps on goin. Say hey to the family and yall HAVE A DAY 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

finely someone on youtube that knows how to run a chainsaw

Mr Morgan the saw is nice for small stuff you can hear it working on the bigger stuff.. I sure hope Stihl can make an electric saw that rips thru big wood one day I wood buy it! As for the wood splitting I think it would almost be less work to swing an axe on that straight grained wood, cut it split it in place, then all you have to do is pick up split wood just my 2cents and it's a great work out

Those split firewood pieces sound just like bowling pins when they fall onto the wood pile. 😊

I like that six way splitter head!! Say Hello to Hunter for me !!

We really enjoy your show! We've noticed you have bins you store the split wood in & would like to see how you fill them. Thank you for sharing your life! Wendy from Modesto, CA

Hi

Good morning Morgan's. A hot cup of BRCC coffee with Mike and Melissa this mornin'. Melissa, CCC-Chief Chipper Chic...great job chippin' those chips!!

I'm drinkin the BRCC myself the green bag with the medic cross watching the Morgan's love this show.

I am impressed with that battery operated chainsaw, I never would have guessed that it could cut that much wood.

Howdy Mike that electric saw sure does seem to cut. I don't know though....no pull rope to drop start, no mixed gas fumes, no choke to mess with just seems to simple.... Enjoy the Day! ;~)

Good job! Nice to see you enjoy it and makes you happy. Too bad that tree went for firewood. Did you notice the beautiful white color of the wood?

I might just get one of those. Probably make a good little, light limbing saw. Oh, I loved chipper chic's chipping video.

I spent the majority of my career driving from place to place. Most of the drives were less tahn an hour or so, but I loved it. I could completly control my environment by setting the temperature to my liking, selecting my music, choosing my route, etc... The last 19 years of my career as a project manager was at our HQ with nothing but meeting with people that felt the need to argue every point with each other. Give me the soloitude of the road any day.

Another wonderful evening with ... OUTDOORS WITH THE MORGANS!

I just subscribed to your channel and I was cutting firewood until I hurt my back. Now I don't lift much anymore down here in northwest Georgia.

I have the Milwaukee electric chainsaw and it is very handy for small logs and trimming the limbs off or marking the log before bucking . I already had alot of Milwaukee tools so it made sense to get that one .

I like your safety protection trousers

Love that splitter and set up you have

Mike uses the Gas Chainsaws and Melissa has 1st Choice on the Battery Powered Chainsaws. 👍

Good morning Morgan's I think that is equal to the ms170. I just bought a ms170 it's an ok saw for what I need it for but I think I should have bought the battery one

Stihl has a good thing going with the 220 all the other ones up to now just haven't been good enough to compete with gas. That 300s battery is a game changer.

Hey Mike You need to come to SE Ks and cut some of our Osage orange That's all I have here on the farm We call it Hedge and it takes a pretty good stove to burn it . I don't heat with wood but keep clearing it and the locust in the pastures. It is hard to cut and especially if dead

Lots accomplished in a short period of time!

Nice way to end the work day!! Have a day!

You guys in the US sure have all the gadgets man can devise!....Battery saw has come of age....

Did you ever give any thought to creating windrows of split wood to season the wood? For example, relative to where the camera is at the end of the video, move the splitter and conveyor to the extreme left of the "landing" and make a big pile of wood. Then move the set up to the right, say 10 feet, and add to the pile. Keep moving to the right until you run out of room. Then start another windrow. With the portable equipment it would perhaps be easier to move the equipment than to handle the wood multiple times. Just a thought...

I see some "ambrosia" streaks in that maple. It would've been nice to see that on the sawmill.

You would have been done an hour ago if Melissa was working it. She is amazing.

I like our electric saw too...did a review a few months back comparing to the ms170 (gas) We didn't buy the msa220 (expensive) but it looks much more powerful than one step down in the Stihl lineup..great video Mike! I wish I would have bought the 220 now! Ahhhhh!!

Good morning from NE Pennsylvania. Have a day ❤️

What a great way to unwind after a long day of probably needless bureaucratic meetings!

Good video. That is a good little saw.

Have a question. Have you ever measured the moisture content of the center part of the wood, as opposed to the out rings. Since new growth and fluid come up the other area. Just wondering. I also know that during the late fall winter times not as much sap is produced from what I under stand. Is the moisture content less if cut during that time of the year? Reason for the question? If you were going to cut logs for the mill would it be better to cut in the winter saving drying time. Any experts out there?

why did i spend 15 minutes watching this man cutting wood? 1. TOOLS! :-) 2. wood splitting is very satisfying. 3. real world use of electric saw. im a fan of the channel Lumna Acres, and he is looking at electric chainsaws for his homestead. SEVERAL of the comments mentioned your channel and video(s) with yours.

The perfect addition to my morning coffee. Not BRCC but caffeinated nonetheless. OK, coffee's done. Enough lollygagging, it's time to get something done!

Great little saw. Nice video 👍✊

Well heck Mike! No clap and hand rub in your intro?!! That’s your signature move! 👏🏼 I envy the multi-wedge on your splitter. I’d be happy with a 4-way but Champion doesn’t make one. If that battery saw was slower than a gas model it wasn’t by much. I’ve been cutting rounds from logs that size recently using the 251 and the time seems pretty darn close! Thanks for another fun video, Mike!

Great video Mike! That electric saw is something for sure. Looks like you have a pretty good jag of firewood there. Where do you plan on stacking all that? Keep up the good work!

You need to go hug the 462! It's missing you🤣👍!

Electric chainsaw - I’ve always wondered if those have enough power to do the job. Now I know! Thanks!!

Mike, are there plans for the pile of wood? Will it all be put in the wood shed being built? Love the videos :-)

The sound of that saw would make me turn up the music too.

You convinced me to get this one

Nice to meet ya good sir I love your channel

That battery powered saw lives up to the claims. It still sounds pretty wimpy in use. Does the job, but there's something about the manly sound of a gas powered saw. Thanks for sharing.

Hi great vid again How long do you keep the wood before you sell it

very quiet , very quick , nice saw

I've have a redback brand battery chainsaw battery is 120 volts will cut for an hour I check bar oil and change battery packs and start throwing more wood chips absolutely like mine

Very Nice Saw, ....

What is this Whitewood you are splitting !! Did I miss it ?? Keep up the great work !!! Really enjoy what y'all do !!!!

@0:57 - 1;28. Mike, I need you to explain this to my wife .... I also need as much land as you have - I only have a few acres.

(plus it takes me longer to get the backhoe off and the brush hog on then it does to mow! lol haven't really got that down yet :)

Good Morning Hunter ;-) ;-)

That's a sweet little chainsaw!

This dude's got some fuckin firewood bro!

I'm not a fan of battery or electric saws but you got me thinking...This would be nice for when you want to get some work done quick but then you need to go somewhere. You won't get all stinky with 2-stroke exhaust.

Bingo! I have a smaller version. Starting my third year with battery is just as stong as the day i bought it. Yes i have a bigger (461) saw. This one is great to carry in truck or tractor. Great for little wood and brush.

It's too quiet. When I'm using my chainsaw I like to know I'm using my chainsaw! It is a cool product though and If the battery lasts a long time or is easily changed out like my DeWalt drill for instance then I may get one. But enough about that saw. Let's talk about that log splitter! Holy cow. That is the best log splitter I have ever seen. Great review.

Love it mike. I feel same as you after riding around Philly all day in a car. My type of relaxing.

is it me or did i see smoke from the bar and chain. check the oiler

Does Melissa know you're using her chain saw? Thats a pretty good little saw.

I think if you had two 300s batteries and switched them out you could go all day. I would like to see stihl develope a 220T, so if you have any pull through stihl let them know it's in demand.

Looks like pine=butter????.try Aust hardwood corncob

Great little saw! How much does it weigh? Can you use it with one hand? The only thing I have against battery operated tools is that your setting up an annuity with the company you buy it from and some of them charge almost as much for the battery as they do for the tool. Don’t get me wrong, they do have their place, but dragging out an extension cord over a reasonable distance is no big deal, especially if it means not filling up a landfill with dead batteries some where! Can’t imagine what they are going to do with these electric car batteries when they need replacing!

Mike, I would love to see you get Buckin Billy Ray to run that saw, and cut down a tree when he comes to visit!

Do you ever have an issue with the chain coming off? I had two Harbor freight 16 inch saws and now I have a Milwaukee 16 inch Saw and they have the same problem with chain coming off.

I refer to it as,outdoor therapy . Keeps a person sane . Lol

Maybe when they make a stronger bigger faster one. Too slow maybe a limb saw. 💘 the Morgans

Have you ever done a time comparison video of just pulling the wood from the side by side vs pulling it off and stacking it on the splitter arm? Not sure if it would be quicker to just pull it off the side by side?

@python3574

I could say without a doubt that it would be quicker, but usually Melissa is there loading it off the SxS onto the splitter and Mike can split continuously. And for only doing one SxS load (with video shooting in mind), the 1 minute saved is really insignificant.

I like your splitter
