Chainsaws.
yvesjv:
Next question would be chainsaw maintenance?
petrol vs battery
I have to run the petrol stihl every 3 to 4 weeks.
The petrol has to be mixed with the oil.
The petrol must have an additive in the 5litre jerry can added to stabilise when stored for long period.
etc
No idea about thebattery chainsaws...

My batteries just sit untill I'm going to be using the saw, then put on charge while I'm driving.
After use, remove chain ( no tools needed) clean and replace but not tight, put bar sleeve back on.
Top up bar oil.
Put saw away
No petrol,no 2 stroke oil, no mixed fuel,no mess, no noise , no smell

That's exactly why I got a battery chainsaw. If I was using one all day, every day, it might be different.
jack-fc:
I have been using chainsaws for over 50 years, not professionally, just for home open fire needs ( about 10 cubic metres a year). Was very sceptical re battery chainsaws even for camping / occasional home use. Finally caved in and got a Makita ( because already had batteries n charger). For camping, I'll have the batt saw every time. If you want to go out bush to cut 1 or 2 tonnes of firewood, petrol saw is the only way. Both need to be regularly sharpened and bar oil supply meticulously maintained.
Cheers, Jack
