I am enjoying my new chain saw, that's for sure

[Siwsan]

Today I taught the trumpet vine a lesson about who is boss. That would be me. I think.

This is a pole saw so no real danger in cutting off any fingers, toes or limbs. However, my next purchase will be a mini chain saw. The Bradford Pear trees should be shaking in their roots because I'm going to cut them down to size. Stump size.

1. I can use some help over here

2. Love playin around with my chainsaws...

Remember to keep them sharpened and oiled. That’s all, have fun! Yeah I want one of those little ones too.

3. I bought a 14" electric one for small jobs like your pear trees. And the price was right.

I love it. Lightweight and does exactly what I need it to do. It's not for cutting a cord of firewood but it could.

4. As an owner of many gas powered chainsaws,

I'm impressed with the battery ones. It tears up my shoulder anymore to start my Stihl 20" Farm Boss. I tried out my brother's 18" electric on a downed oak tree and was totally blown away how well it zipped right through that hard oak. If I were to buy a new chainsaw I would get an electric one.

I did get one of those little one hand electric saws on Amazon for around $50.00. it came with it's own carrying case, 2 chains, two rechargeable batteries and charger. I use this little saw more than I ever thought I would. Oh is it ever sweet for clearing brush and trimming small branches to fit into my wood chipper. I also have a battery operated pole saw I bought at Harbor Freight that works great too.

6. I was looking at the battery operated saws.

Since I only need one 2-3 times a year, the price difference between a corded or battery was too steep.

I was also impressed with the ease of use. I stopped buying gas powered anything a few years ago. I had the same issue with my shoulders due to too many years of volleyball. I love just pulling the trigger.

5. I have 2 of these now.

My newest one came with the pole attachment, but is identical to the stand alone version. I haven't used my Jonsered gas saw in a couple of years, I use them to clear low level tree branches. Works pretty well with most every tree, even pasture spruce which is tough on saws.

7. Those Branford Pear trees are beautiful, but they come apart easily and are quite dangerous.

Be careful.
