I have a Milwaukee and love it. I agree with Flint hill the bar and chain are the weak spot. I’m slowly switching from Dewalt to Milwaukee

I have both the Milwaukee 18 volt chainsaw and the small 12 volt chainsaw. Have used both extensively and find both very much worth the money.

I have a stihl 140 and it’s been awesome. My smaller gas stihls haven’t seen much use since I got the 140.

I ran into a guy today that bought a Milwaukee Hatchet that I have- he runs vegetable oil instead of bar oil and quarters elk and caribou with his- interesting!

Just picked up a stihl 120. Working it this weekend! I will see how it works.

I have a Milwaukee pole saw. Absolutely no complaints with it. I already had Milwaukee batteries and chargers , that made the decision easy. I cleared a bunch of shooting lanes with it in February, made the job easy. Wish I would have bought one years ago.

Keith,

I have GTA 26 battery pruner. It's amazing. It last about 45 minutes per battery. It has stayed sharp through 8 charges now. Well worth the wait for mine. I used it last fall and winter to trim for deer blinds. It will cut up to a 4'' tree but it's hard on it. I use it for exactly what you said- cutting honey suckle. It is well worth the $139.00. Get on a list and tell them if someone doesn't pick there's up you will take it- that's what I did and got it in 1 month. It is one of my favorite tools. It stays sharp. It's a Stihl like all the other tools they make.

I have a Stihl pole saw- the best one they make - it is ridiculously sharp and I have had it about 6 years. I use it to trim around my hay field too. I also pull a hay rack around and saw from on top of that. My arms get tired - so I want a gas pole saw. The power company guys have them and they look like they work really well. This pole saw also works well for honey suckle. I can push it back along the stump and saw the stumps off. A 2'' honey suckle stump takes about 10 pulls. Get the power one if you can afford it.

I run a Stihl 362 . Just cut down 5 walnut trees and got some boards back yesterday.

Keith we use a Kobalt. Got the small chainsaw and pole saw. 3 years of miscellaneous use around the farm with no issues. Keep the batteries charged and I don’t like to run them dead. The kobalt batteries have a light strip to push and test them. I let them get down to 1 or 2 bars and swap out. Very handy tools! But don’t sell your noisy saw, she’ll still be needed for the big chores

Thanks again everybody.

Keith
