BushMoot: Come along to the amazing Summer Moot 31st July - 5th August (extended Moot : 27th July - 8th August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I need to get in the woods and cut up all these trees that the storms have taken down. I have to go to them because they are way too big to move. xxxxxThat's fine working around the homestead and cutting firewood - totally impractical in a woodland carrying out thinning and coppicing - again, it's down to what DD intends to do with the tool that will define the best solution
Red , is that a 2 year Guarantee or a 3?? I know you've quoted 3 years or less but the link mentions 2 years?? am I missing something or have the terms changed?
What power station do you use? I have had a few of them and they were pretty rubbish to be fair. x
I have similar needs to you mate. I bought a Husky 435 15" bar, in 2022 and haven't looked back. Yes its petrol, but they are not expensive to run. Batteries degrade, Engines can be maintained for lower cost over a longer period.
Mains power here. I have cordless tools but none that need to be as powerful as a chainsaw. Could you use a petrol generator to power one?
That just spoils my day working in the wood - noise pollution at its worst.
Agreed, but for bucking firewood in one location, it's great!That's fine working around the homestead and cutting firewood - totally impractical in a woodland carrying out thinning and coppicing - again, it's down to what DD intends to do with the tool that will define the best solution
Yeah it is 2 now, good spot. It used to be 3 on the all grey model. They are fantastic for bucking up & cross cutting. Cheap and cheerful but they work fine. A Mora chainsaw
I have several. You are going to want a decent output to run a chainsaw. I use an Aferiy P310 as my workshop power station with 1600W of panels but that's overkill (I use the P310 to run all my workshop & it puts out full single phase power). An Aferiy P210 would work but I would hold on for the new expandable P280 that launches next month. 2800W continuous power 2000Wh & can expand up to 10,000Wh.
There are other good brands such as EcoFlow & AnkerSolix but I find Aferiy the best bang for my buck. I usually have a discount code if you ever want one
Been a tree surgeon for most of my working life. That bar size and battery combo would kill the bank balance, it will also break the soul when it constantly runs out of power.
A smaller Stihl petrol saw makes more sense. Use an eco fuel like Aspen if the bio-raping nature of petroleum puts you off.
Or a plug in electric.

I have small AnkerSolix for my micro camper. Those Aferiy look good value. Next year I’ll need more power to run a fridge in summer when off grid.
They are very good imo. I've tested & used several brands now & think they are for me, the best combination of value, features & quality. Nithing wrong with AnkerSolix though, they are solid quality
For sure. Easy enough to cut yourself with a single chisel, let alone dozens of them spinning round at 15,000 revs, quietly....
