FINALLY!! a battery chainsaw WITH POWER (and lightweight)

[Music] so we got a crazy tight on the luring device and we're going to cut it off see these big globs of pitch and stuff it's a good test for the saw because you want a flush cut you don't want to mess around with stubs so probably hang it up you know settle it down a bit and then send it that way it's less crash and smash on everything down there less shrapnel so joe helped me make a mod for this yesterday so you can put the uh battery on the harness this little this is a prototype this isn't a thing that we have officially done yet but today's the maiden voyage [Music] hey what's up youtube i wanted to talk to you about this tree we're gonna cut today but more about the saw we're gonna use because i got the 540 battery saw and um i went ahead and went through the trouble to use the umbilical i've never seen anybody use it i think it's more intended for people on the ground but it seems logical that you wouldn't want an extra 4.8 pounds or whatever with the larger battery on your top handle saw in the tree so i'm going to try it out it will save some weight at arm's reach pretty significant terrain you know issues slope the camera doesn't always show it but if if you went bombing wood down to a place like this then it would be right here in the garage it would pinball right into there so we'll probably be rigging the wood down from this spot here's the new 540 and uh this is not a battery this is just the adapter to go from the battery which i have had my buddy joe at monkeybeaver.com help me make it safely reside on the harness thank god for suspenders because now the batteries on the harness instead of um on the end of your arms you know that's the other thing i i haven't liked about what i haven't liked about battery saws so far is the weight of a battery up there because my echo my 2511 t is like it's like a bread knife i mean it's just so light i mean it's lighter than this even with the battery off the saw still this has a lot more power and can probably get into a little bit of wood chunking [Music] tell me when you're ready and i'll give it to you youtube look where i got my first try went clear to the top of the tree and through this little co-dominant it's just perfect oh i literally got a free ride clear to the top where i'm setting my speedline rigging and my personal tie-in that was just worth it because you're looking at it and you're thinking i should just spur this you know because that's like old school that's like i'm getting somewhere it's happening you know you're on your way somewhere and uh there's a traffic jam and it's faster to wait through the traffic jam than it is to go around but you go around anyway because you have to keep moving well i just calmed myself down i launched the line in with the air cannon and then later i got a free ride up here with my saw with my rigging with my rope with my speedline kit uh with everything i needed from here on it's just it's not cake but it's a lot more like cake [Music] so what i did there is i just cut some limbs to clear my path the path of my rope to swing back and forth as i get the limbs on the back side so now that was less than 10 minutes but the whole tree is one-sided now it was already kind of one-sided but that was ten slings plus some that i pitched by hand oh my wife is gonna love those backyard pools so nice well i have the battery out here at arm's length right this thing is torquey powerful and now it's light so i'm loving it these are big limbs watch this [Music] [Music] so [Music] um [Music] oh [Music] oh sweet footage [Music] so the saw with the umbilical is really cool so far i'm loving it we don't really have the adapter for sale on on monkey beaver yet but i could see that being a thing we're just trying stuff out i mean who wouldn't want to carry the battery on their belt with some suspenders i love it check out this limb that is huge should probably get the drone out for that one okay so this one is a huge limb right so we gotta have the speed line really tight or we'll sweep something under us i might not seem possible but this is big it's gonna pull some sag in the line even though this is uh static this is pmi this is the stuff we sell for it it's really good but it's heavy so we got a crazy tight on the lowering device and we're gonna cut it off see these big globs of pitch and stuff it's a good test for the saw [Music] [Music] okay next time man i got a free ride with all my gear [Music] i don't even know [Music] i don't even have to start the sauce wow so yeah youtube there's no reason just to cut them fast and slam them you don't have to because when you slam them it throws debris onto the roof or whatever's back there you know see that's a really nice flush cut nothing to hang up our rigging later and there was no crash and smash and bang [Music] sorry if i'm shouting it's noisy but it ain't the saw [Music] so the molly's in peak just clip it on the line they recharge it [Music] [Music] foreign nothing wrong with that uh take that one off because this one's [Music] heavy [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all right guys so this is what we got longest up in the trees out over here and we're anchored off this white oak and we're just using this little quarter wrap for this stuff just super simple and easy to set up yeah you got three of them i think you can take them all here [Music] i mean come on that's a battery saw that is some fast cutting right there battery has finally made it especially if it's not you know on the saw [Music] [Music] [Music] so so [Music] so [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] do [Music] so [Music] [Music] it was fine that was beautiful yeah phil that was the nicest one yet okay [Music] [Music] so [Music] oh [Music] that's no fun pitch kitchen ah oh it was [Music] [Music] way to keep it exciting nice rigging jeff nice rick and jeff what made you decide to stop it nice job august i never used to have the fuel sent up to me but it's pretty handy with these things it's easier to pull up this bottle than it is to pull up the 500i [Applause] hmm here they come youtube they're gonna march right up to my neck um gotta love the violence of it huh i don't feel it it's not really it's so sturdy right here it doesn't damage i'm tired of this i'm gonna have you do the last one oh anyway youtube this is the last one i was tired so i have damien do the last one because he's you know young and strong they actually want the stump this high right here otherwise we would have probably butt tied the log and fell a pretty good sized log up there it would have been easier but um they're thinking of tree house or something with it so anyway last piece let's go yeah good job damian hey jeff are you glad we switched to speed lining yeah i was getting nervous i bet you were i want that that one came like pretty close i got to see the footage on that it was pretty good good roping but kind of scary yeah it was perfect it was perfect you
