Willard, could you elaborate a little on your preferences for battery when working up high? I can anticipate some of your answers, but I'm really interested in your analysis.
We see 2 different philosophies on top handle saws, whether battery or gas. It mostly divides along the lines of the size of the wood that guys want to cut with their top handles before pulling up a larger saw. On one side, we have guys running 16" bars on their T540's and they want to cut right to that limit before grabbing something bigger. On the other end, there are guys who only cut up to around 6-8" with their toppers and are therefore OK with the battery saws and the smaller gas saws like the 25cc Echo and the Husky T-525.
What are your thoughts on all this?
