I have crossed the RR tracks and gone over to electric on the lawnmower and weedeater. And I am very impressed. I just spent 2 hours weedeating some 3 foot high weeds and briars and it is unbelievable how that electric weedeater performed. At least as much power as the gasoline model, and, Praise God, it is quiet!


I've been working an Echo 58V cordless chainsaw pretty hard for 3 years. If it ever dies, I'll probably get one of the Stihl 220Cs

The biggest tree I've taken down with the 58V Echo had a 22" trunk. I don't even think about it being a cordless electric saw. It's just a 16" chainsaw. They're so convenient to use that once you get used to one, you'll forget about gas powered saws.

I bet the Stihl 220C is a dandy. It better be for what they're asking for them.
