Why? My Makita does a great job up to 10" that I know of. I haven't hit anything bigger yet, but I
could probably do it in a couple whacks. It seems about as fast as the gas, and it's a hell of a lot
easier to start!
The trunks of that tree were almost 2' across. I had to take 2 swings
at it with a 16" saw. The gas also goes faster.
I was dragging the small logs with the golf cart but I needed my truck
for the big ones.
I rigged a 3/8" steel cable over the end of the dumpster and dragged
the logs in with the truck.
Did you need to get a permit to take down that big tree?
