I bought an electric Craftsman chainsaw a couple of years ago and used it for some small stuff and then put it one a shelf and didn't touch it until today.
It has a 16" bar and when I got it out checked the bar oil and started cutting.
I also have a 14" 40volt saw I bought about 6 months ago.
That little saw goes through a sizable piece of wood pretty quick.
In 1980 I went off the grid and heated with just wood and then where I am now with wood until two years ago.
All that time it was mess with the chainsaw to get it running for the season and mess with them during the season.
I am sure someone will claim to never have problems with their chainsaws but it was never the case with me.
After I put a furnace in two years ago I planned on never cutting wood again but the power company said I needed to remove some trees on my property that were to close to the transformer.
I don't like cutting live trees and the fact that they were Sassafras made it even harder so rather than let them be ground up I had them leave the trees for me.
I diced up some of it but would like to do something wit the larger pieces rather than just burn it.
Anyone have experience with Sassafras?
Her are some pics of my old ars using the electric chainsaws.
