I have a cousin in La. that is doing a lot of tree and limb clean-up after Hurricane Ida. He’s using his “way above it’s pay grade”.....he’s very impressed. He’s using the Dewalt 12”
After watching a bunch of You Tube videos comparing various saws.....we just bought the little Dewalt 20V Max XR. It seemed to be the best “bang for the buck”! I did so small limb removal.....it worked great. I will be testing it out on a 16” to 18” Russian Olive soon......that should be a real test for it! memtb
A few years ago I took out a Russian olive that had been dead for a few years. That took some serious cutting. The chain quality is the issue there, more than the power source.
