Project Farm electric saw shoot-out

[HumBurner]

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 390xp, a no-pull option seems worth considering. Weight is still a downside as much as number of cuts. They have farther to go, but at least the technology is moving forward.

I've been using a 540i for 3+ years now. Hasn't totally replaced a small gas saw, but pretty much. I've an XS543xp and a FKWS550xpg for any decent smaller firewooding before the 372/390 come out. 75%+ of the cutting is the 540i, up to 12-14" and definitely on brushing/thinning jobs.

Coupling that with a lawn mower, weedwhacker, and brush-cutter, the battery-way makes sense.

I've been hemming and hawing over the 530iPT5 for a while but haven't pulled the trigger; I'm a sucker for my Hayate. Definitely times where I wish I had RPMs and/or wider kerf.

Right now, those 94cc 372s @upstateamish is building are a more exciting option.
