Have never seen a chain saw perform so
well for its size as this makita electric Jobbie a customer was using,as we cleared his property. Running off his honda gennie ,the thing was flying through logs up to 400mm diameter time and time again!, No noise to attract the unwanted..LOL...the only draw back was you had to keep a good eye on the lead, Very impressive little saw. and for around $200 if you own a good gennie why stuff around with little petrol ones that clog up, start when they feel like it,and cost twice as much.?
Cheers Axle.

We carry a small still, (MS180), fits great in the back of the truck. My mates with big huski's had a good laugh at the so called "ham slicer" until I had to cut one of their huski's out of the log they got it pinched in, (operator error, but still a good chance to rub it in). As for fuel? The chainsaw gets spoilt and runs on premium, the same as our water ski boat, for the extra $1 it costs me for the tank seems worth it and it hasn't skipped a beat yet. (Touch wood)
For stealth mode I simply carry a 550mm bush/bow saw. IMHO I'm not old yet so I don't mind a small amount of manual labor when stealth mode is needed.
Cheers, Lachy
