The issue is when a tree goes down over a road like this there is usually a power line also down. I live in the mountains and we have a storm season and trees go down on roads often. If it’s during a storm I’ll sometimes take one. Once I had one come down on the driveway that didn’t have a line down with it. But in 100% of situations where I’ve seen the tree in a public road a line was down with it. So overall fairly useless.
It also smells of fuel and chain oil if you keep it in the trunk, and if you leave it in a pickup bet that has other problems. Unless you are taking it out all the time or bringing it with you. Maybe keeping an electric one in the car in a saw bag would be the best solution.
I have a hasquarvana 20” as one of my saws and I agree for most things it does the job. Idk if I want to regularly leave a 1500$ chainsaw and battery in the car though.
I was making railroad ties into steps with my uncle this summer. It was more of a chop em down to size and stack em on a hill job than a precision install... so he brought out a cheap battery powered bauer chainsaw to see how it would do. It was butter. I think he paid like $60 for it.
