Chainsaw for Long Forest Roads?

I have a couple recommendations plus a third curve ball...

I got one of these folding saw for smaller branches. It's bad ass.

And an Echo electric chain saw. Empty the oil. Most saws leak. And with electric you don't have to carry gas. I bring extra batteries.

And then....for forest roads I bring my millwaukee M18 Hedger and extra batteries. I've used the shit out of this thing on trails that would have pin striped the shit out of my 4Runner.

 

I have a manual Silky saw as well, totally the best manual saw by far.

I also have a DeWalt 20v chainsaw which is awsome and has tons of torque to cut through any tree. Surprisingly it doesn't leak bar oil if not over filled.

 

I had a millwaukee chainsaw that leaked oil like it had a phobia of it. I took it apart and replaced o rings and anything I could but eventually just gave it away.

The echo doesn't seem to leak as long as it's not full.

 

I still love my Silky Katanaboy 500. The price is a little ridiculous now, but it cuts amazingly well!

My Husqvarna leaks oil, so I try not to put it away full. Still a great little saw!

 

I saw the PF video but what I like about Silky that wasn't really shown is the insane durability. I bought a BigBoy 6 years ago with a lot of use prepping firewood and clearing trails and have never sharpened the thing. Still cuts nearly as good as when new.

If I'm on a forest trail and expect a ton of clearing large green trees then I'll take the Stihl but 99% of the time, the Silky is enough without the extra weight and cargo that comes with the saw and PPE.

 

Same dude!

Typically I'm lead car with GPS maps downloaded. I'm always jumping out woth the Silky cutting this branch and that. Rarely ever the chainsaw. The Silky does work.

 

Man don't tell me that. I just bought one!

 

Same here! People are always impressed with how fast it cuts. I bought on a recommendation from a guy on Tacomaworld who hasn't steered me wrong yet.

 

Bought mine because a lot of people from the TV show Alone had one or an even larger version. And then there was rave reviews everywhere. Yeah man cuts so dang fast.

 

I'm sorry man. I've seen a lot of posts of people complaining about theirs so I changed to the echo.

If it has a problem just empty the oil every time or only put a little in at a time.

 

I carry a bacho laplander, I know it's small, but it's already saved my ass on a forest road, literally had a tree fallen blocking the whole thing...I cut over half, then used a 20ft tow strap and snapped the tree pulled it off to the side. Even recorded myself doing most of it cuz I was excited to use my stuff lol

 

I would only be using this around the house. I don't go major off roading W.4Runner. That's for my New Polaris Sportsman 570 Trail EPS!

 

Yeah, the Katanaboy is pretty pretty big. I think the blade is .5 meters long.

 

Holy shit there's a 1 meter version that goes for about $1,200

In the coal mine, (before longwalls), we used bow saws to cut timbers. We'd get into 8 ft of height sometimes, (high coal!), and since props had to have so much diameter diameter per length some of those props were 11-12 " thick. We set 16 in every lift. The bow saw handled them.
