Thank You for this... It's difficult for me to consider going electric... However, your honesty about the smaller saws and the lack of patience fits directly with my experience using battery saws! I replaced my 180C this summer with a new one, but had I seen this video before that, I may have considered one of the bigger batters saws. Honestly, knowing how busy and, yes how your health has been, I'm happy to see you back in the long video business! You're in my thoughts and prayers and I hope you continue to heal 😁 Bill

Nice thoughts. I was drifting between MS261 and the MSA300. But at the end I bought the MS261, because of the weight and the amount of batteries needed for the 300. And I owned a Metabo MS36 2*18V (40 cm) before just for the work at home because I have already a lot of Metabo tools with the 18V batteries. The future is using electrical driven tools that is a fact. Nice greetings from Germany

I've been using a chinese one-handed battery-powered device for three years... the price is ridiculous, but it works without any complaints at all. The price of a Stihl saw is simply astronomical.

They definitely have their use, and the battery top handle saws help with the noise. BUT, that top of the line Stihl tophandle saw weighs TWICE as much as an Echo 2511.... There's no way in hell I'm using that over the little gas powered Echo.

Vielen Danke ,für dein ausführliches Video , über die Akkusägen , von Stihl ! Ich verstehe ,dass sie zum klettern , eine Erleichterung sind, wegen des geringeren Gewichts , wenn es "ran" gehen muss ,ist wahrscheinlich eine Benzin Motorsäge ,die erste Wahl. Ich finde , dass sie preislich sehr teuer sind und ich, aus dem Grund , immer zu einer Benzinsäge greifen würde ,allerdings ist es in meinem Fall eine andere Sache ,ich arbeite nicht jeden Tag damit.

Great video as always love watching your take on the new Stihl products but here in the US I believe most if not all of their battery operated equipment not just the saws have been recalled at least once due to of course like everything else battery operated lol them starting on fire in peoples garages and burning peoples houses to the ground, so I’m just not there yet I am still old-school I’ll stick to my gas power equipment as long as possible I just don’t trust any of the battery operated devices nor do I believe for one second that they have the longevity and run time to cut as long as their gas powered counterparts at least not in any of the tests I’ve seen when they compare the counterpart gas engine and see how much wood they can cut with each one the gas powered one always out does the battery in productivity. Sure they might be a little bit lighter but for other than a homeowner that’s just making a few cuts here and there for someone that’s out cutting every day all day to me there not there yet imo.

I have the Echo DCS-2500 T and have been eyeing the DCS-5000 for larger jobs. The DCS-2500 T is the perfect saw to carry on the ATV to clear trails in my opinion. I carry an 2nd battery though. The DCS-5000 beat out the stihl it was tested against, on a comparison video on project farm channel, but I can't recall the Stihl model in the test.

Battery saws also don't get super hot like gas ones. That's a plus when climbing around in the tree with a chainsaw tethered to the body.

I have a 160 and find it very useful for cleaning up slash, thinning small trees, and many other tasks. Don't like filing that little chain though.

Ups, today I went by a Stihl dealer and take a look at the new MSA220C nice and shiny, I feel good and I feel bad when I come home and look at my 4 years old MSA220C all beaten up and scratch from use and abuse it have went through.

It is good to see you back, Felixia! It is great to see a women in a field like forestry. Ultimately it shouldn't be about that but you are in a small minority. All that's should matter is 'can you do the job and do it right?' Great information as well. Not to fond of these saws. Now plugged in electric stuff is fine. I suppose climbing stuff as you do and talked about, would probably be great for that. I wish there was a better alternative fuel solution for small engines but so far nothing promising.

The thing that sours me is the cost of the batteries ! I had 2 batteries fail and they were $253.00 each to replace ! The worst part they were less than 3 years old , perhaps they are not the holy grail for a cordless tool ! I won’t go through that a second time ! My MS250 works perfectly!

I went to makita as 4 makita batteries cost the same as 1 stihl, I use Husqvarna for larger stuff, stihl ms180 for thinning out and small felling, then recently an electric DUC254 top handled 18v LXT Makita for pruning and easy carry ! 🎉🎉😊

The DUC254Z 18v LXT is a great pruning saw and any serious arborist should own one for small jobs. I use an adaptor on mine to power from an 18v lithium Dewalt drill battery but adaptors exist for use with other brands of power tool battery. This reduces battery and charger cost significantly which are a high proportion of the overall cost of a battery chainsaw. With this financial saving swap to an 8 sprocket (Makita part) and run a Stihl 10" Picco 1/4" .043" (1.1mm) chain bar (Stihl part 3005 008 3503) and Stihl 56 drive link Picco chain. This conversion reduces the kerf (cut) as a 1/4" chain removes less material than a 3/8" chain and thereby extends battery runtime. The ultimate small top handled affordable battery chainsaw. Furthermore, I own 5 Stihl gas power chainsaws but the Makita DUC254Z wins on cost, weight, reduced noise and ease of use for small tree pruning tasks.

My brother went with Makita I am with Stihl we have tested the saws with similar power against each other the Stihl feels better. In his case Makita is better because he is a construction contractor and use the same batteries in other power tools, if not for that according to him he with prefer Stihl.

Enjoyed the video. I especially like the outtakes. Unfortunately you are Stihl Biased. There are other excellent chainsaws on the market. I have tried the Stihl E saws and find them lacking as compared to the Echo 2500T and the Husky 540i. But, that's JMHO. Nice job on the video.

It really depends on what you’re cutting

I have two small electric saws, but wanted a 330c but they cannot ship enough to the UK. I was told to pay in full for it before Stihl would even order it from China. I refuse to do that hence no bigger saw. Four months wait is not on for something that was paid for in total.

500 batteries and the 300 saws are the only option to consider at Stihl. Anything else is under powered, even for basic tasks. I sold my 220 and very happy I did it. The anorexic torq on this thing would make pruning problematic since the ligthtest branch would easily jam the chain. Both 220 and 300 turns fast however ...
