I don't have a lot of cordless tools, just a drill and an impact, DeWalt. My wife got a DeWalt weed whacker and loves it. It's pretty badass and on a town lot its all you would need. I have 900ft of fence I trim around, my little orchard and 2 large embankments and about 20 trees. Either need 2 or 3 batteries (9ah, big moolah) or a gasser. I've been using a Stihl fs38. The cheapest one they make and while I'm not in love with it, it's probably 8 years old and keeps taking the abuse. Battery technology has come a long way. Neighbor up the road who has a smaller, half acre or less, lot, has a robot mower. Husqvarna. Thing mows nonstop even in the rain. It knows when to head back for a charge. His lawn looks perfect, no ruts or windrows of clippings ever. Interesting times, especially since my first drill was chrome!
I have an ancient 1/2" " drill motor" with spots in the case to thread in pieces of pipe so you at least stand a chance of keeping control of it. All silver metal case. No plastic. Geared low and it doesn't even notice when I stick it in a bucket of drywall mud to stir it!! I think you could drill post holes with that thing!
We had 3.6 inches in the last storm in Central Mass. Prior 2 weeks was 5.5 inches. No wonder I leave tractor tire marks everywhere I go.
My huge pile of well seasoned saw logs has been growing and if anyone wants any of it and lives near me (SE Michigan), come get it. All mostly hardwood and I'll load them in your trailer or pickup or even a semi trailer if you have that... Free of course.
lots! i have a side fire going when splitting...
Yes it does. Shoulder season only open about 2 weeks and I am on my 3rd bucket of it.
We have 2 basic types of clay dirt on top my mountain, the kind thay gets wet, turns into sticky glue and takes 3 months to dry out, and the kind that may as well be rock. My back yard is the first kind. We don't need much rain and it turns into a swamp.not to poke... but now u know how we felt about it when living up in Seattle! lol
Cut a hawthorne and a choke cherry down on my neighbor's side of the fence. While I was at it, I limbed up a few trees to clear the lawn tractor. Mowing will be much better now and less weed whacking! Used the muffler mod craftsman turning a loop of picco
Nice! Be able to mow my 2 acres in one swipe!
Started milling the white oak today. Was tough going, needed my neighbor to help out with his little Kuboda as I could not get the log I wanted to mill on top of the pile.
His machine also had trouble moving it, but we got it done!
Was tough finding a piece of white oak that was straight for 10 feet! All these limbs are from a yard tree, and the trunk was so large they had to cut it short to lift it!
I also ran 2 saws I have not run in quite some time (I keep using my ported 462s instead). But both my 10 mm 044 and my Dr. Al ported 360 ran great!
The milling was done with my 066 with the Cross P+C. It is the saw in the HL Supply video for the Cross P+C.

I have 2 ZTR's as well as a Kubota F20 diesel with a 72" front mount deck. My tractors farm, they don't mow lawns. Least you have a Kubota, I'm good with that.Nice! Be able to mow my 2 acres in one swipe!
I believe pic 4 is a repost of pic 3. And pic 5 and pic 6 are essentially the same. I believe this is a direct violation of double posting to make yours look bigger. I think the SFAOS police should look into it and issue a citation.... lol
Love my little Kubota!
Lol
Yesterday I cut up a 10" black Walnut tree with my muffler modded Husqvarna 440. The chain was sharpened on my new to me electric chain sharpener. I am quite happy with how this chain cuts.
I sure like the big ones for the big jobs but in tight spots with lots of maneuvering the little ones are awesome too.
