The Echo dcs2500 is my daily driver. My company just bought 3 more. We remove a lot of trees with the t542xpi as well. And the battery Husky extendable power pole is pure gold. The HOG probably wouldn’t see as much use as those, but if you have ever spent a few hours in spurs running a...

My experience with battery saws is they do a lot better in small cuts than large. My trim saw can do hundreds of 3” cuts on a single 2.5amp battery, but only 3 or 4 of 10” cuts. I expect the Hog is similar. 20-24” cuts probably don’t drain the battery anywhere near what a 36” does. It is...

It definitely seems like the Hog goes through batteries quickly. The 500i doesn’t sip. Having to run for a battery twice as often as filling the 500 would be pretty annoying. For any large cutting you would probably need 3 or 4 batteries just to keep working.

A cordless 16” circle saw would be a lot easier to use than the corded version.

12 bills isn’t crazy considering what modern saws retail for. The hitch is that if you want a second battery (and you do) the cost is closer to $1700.

Mad Madame Wiggle Sticks?

Afraid not. 390 is just about the widest chainsaw cylinder in existence. The transfer lowers would stick out past the deck on the FW side and the chain brake area would have to be hacked to pieces.

I think the 36” will make you smile.

I think it’s a 57mm top end, so 94cc vs 80cc. Definitely needs a long bar comparison.

Did you take the back of the teeth off of that chain?

“Jeff’s Fill Dirt and Croissants” brought me back to a good place. Glad you had a good experience. I’ve certainly sent a circlip off into oblivion. Getting two new ones in the mail same-day is pretty sweet.

Chains are new as well?

Looking for 572 crankshaft. Dead or damaged is okay. 592 crankshaft would also be fine (not sure if they’re exactly the same). Or if someone feels kind enough to measure one or both carefully, that would help as well. I know there are a few on Ebay. They’re a little spendy just to chase a...

We use a very similar cabling product called Cobra. Maybe you’re familiar? https://www.cobranet.de/en_US

So you’re saying to check prices with the manufacturer instead of assuming a parts order will be cheaper if purchasing online? If that’s what you’re saying, I agree. But Husqvarna in particular has terrible back-order problems on many parts. I’m still waiting on some parts I ordered in June...
