Ego 56v Cordless Chainsaw

[xcvator]

First impressions, this certainly isn't like any other cordless chainsaw that I've seen, it's big, it's heavy and looks very solid. The battery is massive  .

It had 3 manuals in the box, 1 for the saw , 1 for the battery and 1 for the charger, mostly safety issues ( NO chinglish ) for the darwinites

No styrene foam packing, it's all cardboard. 

Compare the size of the phone (Samsung, not mini )

Just waiting for the batteries to get to full charge then I'll try it on an old redgum fence post

What is the bar length?

[chisel]

Same batteries as the mower?

[xcvator]

I'm not boasting, but my bar length is 350mm

Ego brand is accurate then!!

[xcvator]

For me or the saw 

[Kangaron]

Looking forward to your test mate.
a pic or 2 of the wood as well perhaps?

What about replacement chains? etc

[xcvator]

Both batteries recharged and ready to go 

Tested on an old redgum fence post in the back yard, did 5 cuts, each took around 6 seconds with out any effort and virtually no downwards pressure except for the weight of the chainsaw. 

Noise, what noise, loudish whine, but not as loud as most women,  , you wouldn't hear it from 50 metres, national parks here I come

[xcvator]

What about replacement chains? etc

Bar and chain is "Oregon" brand so should be freely available, if not here could get them from the US

[Kangaron]

and how was the battery indicator after 6 cuts on a 2ah battery?

[BaseCamp]

what is the weight of the unit please?

About what dia was the red gum post, thx?

[xcvator]

I'll try and do a video tomorrow, now that will be an interesting operation on it's own

I apologise on behalf of all who posted here, we are only trying to glean some information as we all may lay out some of our hard earned,
like Keith, to actually buy something.

Not start a thread trying to scrounge one for nothing.



I love you too

WTF is that 

[D4D]

WTF is that 

How long you can have it running before it needs a rest.

[Bird]

How long you can have it running before it needs a rest.

about 50000 times longer than the fossil holding it...

[xcvator]

Fark me, how would I know, I've just bought the thing today, go and buy 1 and try it out yourself 

[D4D]

They do have a pretty good description of how to fell a tree in the instruction manual.

That's a good video. 12 inch log cut! You can keep your petrol saws and stinky fuel. Of course the most important thing with any saw is a good, SHARP chain. Even my little 18v with an 8 inch bar can get through 6 inch ironbark with a sharp chain.

I think the fact it runs Oregon running gear might sway me to this one,
plus a staff discount of masters.
I will go down the 5 ah route tho.
