Well, I carry an MS 211 w a 16" in my DaKine Builder's pack and have already tested my new 550 XP which also fits fine and is only a little heavier. 18" bar does extend closer to my helmet.
(can I 'like' that more than once?)you want this, the top handle saw we are working on. Weight will be about 5 lbs.
There will always be trade-offs. Longer bars need larger power heads. Larger power heads need larger batteries. Etc.I'm looking for a quiet trail clearing option, to carry on a dirt bike or in a backpack.
But 16.3 lbs!!??
I'd like to see a direct comparison to the Husq rear handle. The largest battery Stihl prob not an option w max rec bar length of 14".
Why don't you keep the saw and battery inside, then take it out into the cold weather to see how it works?8* this morning, I set the saw outside a little bit ago. Going to try and use it in 2hrs and see if it works.
Yea I am guessing you don't want an 18" chainsaw in your back pack.... you want this, the top handle saw we are working on. Weight will be about 5 lbs.
Not sure what you are asking. The saw is in the shop, and I was going to set it out for a while to see how it would work (if it will at all) I ended up forgetting to set it out, I'll do it tomorrow if I remember.
My saws stay outside all day, no trouble, so this is a "test" to see if the battery saw can work just as well as a gas saw in reasonable conditions. It got up to about 15* today, so nothing extreme. Supposed to be around the same temp tomorrow.
The same battery system is being used on ice augers I'm told. Dunno about anyone else, but I go ice fishing in the winter.
Did you ever get it to work in the cold? Or is it a no go?
The 120V saw has more power than the 40V saw.@Philbert How does the Redback compare to the Oregon CS300 with regards to run time and power?
Run time is trickier as each saw has a range of batteries: Oregon up to 6.0 Ah (at 40V), and Redback up to 3.0Ah (at 120V).
I have not compared the saws like that. Again, different voltages. W= AxV. So the 6Ah, 40V battery would be close in capacity to the 2Ah, 120V battery. But you also have to consider motor efficiency, etc.Does the Oregon with the 6Ah run 2x or longer when compared to the Redback with the 3Ah?

Could have used that this winter!Same battery powering a 24" dual stage snow blower....in the cold.
Could have used that this winter!
