Anyone with any experience with the Stihl or Milwaukee battery powered chainsaws?
I'm looking at an MSA 160 C-B, MSA 200 C-B, or the Milwaukee.
It seems with both of the Stihl saws I can charge a battery in about the same time as I could drain one, that's according to rated operation time. Haven't checked on the Milwaukee but I have around 8 batteries between 4 amp hour to 9 amp hour already and would probably get the tool with the 12 amp hour battery. So I don't feel like the charge time is as important.
Use is basically small limb clearing, and removing small invasive trees/bushes. Trail clearing. I like the idea of preserving the little hearing I have left, and having it in the back of the utv and not needing to pull start it everytime. I have gas powered saws, not trying to replace those. Just thinking one if these would be easier to use for some things rather than a heavier saw.
Anyone familiar with either? I use to use a 120v stihl for cabin work inside. That would do everything I want, except I don't want to start up the generator.
