I was going to start another thread but thought to find this old one when I initially bought this saw.
Bragging again on my battery saw and the chain.
My Husky 540iXP... I was amazed that I made 71 cuts on a fresh battery in 4-8 inch oak before it was out of juice. I don't know the time, my phone timer didn't work, I tried. I would guess 30 minutes of non-stop cutting with a helper quickly getting the logs into good cutting position for me to make each cut. The logs were in a big pile. I am shocked by how good this chain is, this sucker is super steel. It is Oregon 80TXL narrow kerf .325 .043 chain for 16 inch bar. I have always liked the equivalent Husky chain's cutting ability (I think it is called x-cut) but for some crazy reason, this Oregon Speedcut just keeps going and still cuts really fast. Makes me wonder if the Oregon version is slightly different from the Husky one. (In this very thread, someone said Oregon makes Husky chain.) I have had it on for several sessions, it is not brand new. Bravo for Husky and Oregon, good job!
I have three batteries, one is small but two are max size. Bought them all when I bought the saw. I can get quite a bit done in a cutting session!
I sure love my gassers but this battery saw is a keeper. Of course, it should be at the price I paid. Supposedly, it's a 'pro' saw.
