I don't know anyone around here who owns a Stihl msa300, which I suppose is the most powerful battery saw available. Do you guys think any dealer would allow one to buy such a saw and return if it doesn't cut the mustard, scuze the pun? If such a return isn't allowed, I would be hesitant to buy such an expensive saw. I have used and owned some battery saws, just curious about this one. I know it cuts softwoods impressively, but I cut hardwoods. Felling, bucking even small or medium size hardwoods is the goal.
It's amazing how every tool manufacturer these days is making a battery chainsaw! And they are FAR cheaper than a Stihl. For all I know, there is a MUCH cheaper battery saw that does fine. And any battery saw purchase will require extra batteries. I don't need to cut all day but a couple hours would be nice!
EDIT: I did come across a post online where a guy was talking about a Stihl dealer that did allow people to test a battery saw at his place and he had some logs, so, I guess such a thing does exist.
