Makita cordless chainsaw

[hilux]

thinking of getting one. Either top handle 302z or conventional 355z both are 36v. Quite like the 302 for pruning ,is it as quick as the 355. What are opinions on them, or should I just buy a stihl ms 180 ?

If you can afford it Id go for the Huskvarna t540ixp

Just looked at the price. Out of my price range ,but it looks like one heck of a saw. Going makita as I've got the batteries etc.

so did you buy one in the end?

Looking at arbtalk, one user highly rates the Makita. I haven't bought the new saw, I think Ill be purchasing new boots, trousers, and a harness shortly. Def new boots as steel toe falls out!!!

Now Then..
So far I have a drill with brushes, brushless 4½" grinder, jigsaw, multitool, 5 batteries, a double charger, DAB radio and a 36 volt leaf blower. All of which have surpassed my expectations..
So,,,, I'd buy the saw. I sure will if my antique Husqvarna ever needs replacing..

I have the saw, works surprisingly well. Doesn’t replace a petrol saw for all day use but a very good tool.

Which model do you have?

Forget the top handle ,,had one and got rid ,,its badly balanced ,,go for a conventional
