If you're pruning the cherry tree and not leaving the yard, go for it. If you're cutting firewood, buy a saw with an engine on it.

The saw he is asking about is $189.99. You can buy a Stihl for half that? No but google says you can get a stihl for $129

THEN ya gotta buy the gas powered generator to take to the field with ya so you can charge the saw when the batt'ry goes dead. Like the lektrik cars. I've seen the batt'ry powered Stihls here for aboat $400. I bought a Stihl 250 for $300 that is an awesome little saw.

I have a husqvarna battery powered chainsaw and I love it. No need to carry gas, etc. it will cut a lot with one battery charge. I cut up an entire large ash tree with it and the battery died right at the end. It's perfect for doing stuff around the yard, but I also carry it on my 4-wheeler and in the truck any time I'm in the bush to cut trees that fell across the trail etc. I'm really surprised at how much power it has. The key is to keep the chain sharp. That's good to hear! I have a load of cordless power tools that do well on a 20V batt'ry but I always wondered myself how long a chainsaw would last.

The Stihl 250 is one heck of a saw that is very well under rated.......i know of several commercial users that use this little saw. When I buy a saw I want it to cut and have the power to cut through what I put it against.

A neighbors wife cuts hair in town 3 days a week and tends cattle all other days (oh yeah, she is a keeper). She always had trouble starting his chainsaws so he bought her an cordless electric for Christmas last year as much of a joke is anything.
Anyway, it's a Stihl and it is surprisingly good. You wouldn't cut firewood with it, but for edging new runs or wooden plank fence on the branding trap we have been using it is super nice. I would check pricing before you buy harbor freight quality b/c you might be able to get a nice one for a few dollars less.

The saw he is asking about is $189.99. You can buy a Stihl for half that? And that's the tool only. The battery and charger sold separately. Another $140........

Dewalt 60V is 250$ but the chain leaves a lot to be desired. Very lightweight.
