Tried the Stihl at work, cuts out a lot, have to finesse it a bit. Mate says you need to also finesse the Husky but its quick. I bought the Milwaukee and its hilarious. The torque it has over the others is awesome. What people aren't picking up in the videos is that torque combined with a variable speed trigger makes it amazing to tickle the back cut as your felling a top or sawing a snap cut. The others just don't like to do slow speed work.

Another plus for the husqvarna is that it actually cools the battery while your using it. This extends battery cycle life and prevents overheating. Husqvarna is the only OPE manufacturer that I’ve seen doing this to most of there tools. I wish more would do it.

Thank you for doing these tests, helps us all make informed decisions. All good saws for sure, great to see so many options for battery saws.

[fixitorstripitGardenmachines]

Great demo as always. To be fare they all did well. Not sure i like the battery setup on the EGO tho.

I have over 50 milwaukee tools for all kinds of trades so I bought the m18 rear chainsaw before the top handle came out. I find it is pretty powerful and does very well. Then again, I also use carbide chains on all 3 chainsaws. Also the m12 hatchet and m18 10in pole saw. The carbide chains cut better and consistently and nearly never need sharpening. Cut as well a hundred cuts later as well as the first and do not get damaged when accidentally hitting the ground or something metal etc. I can not see why anyone with a chainsaw would not use carbide chains now.

Would be nice to see how the milwaukee got on with a 12ah battery on it, regardless of weight.

Im waiting for the Husqvarna T542iXP to come out... Seems like it will be a game changer.
Nice video as always! 😊

I've only tried the Husqvarna and the Milwaukee. I've been a big fan of the former but intrigued by the latter because I own many of their power tools. The chain on the T540 seems much better than the Milwaukee and seemed to stay sharper longer cutting the same size and wood. I think its balance it better, too. But OMGosh, the torque on the Milwaukee is absolutely amazing. And I used two Bii200x batteries to one on the Milwaukee for same duration of work -- and the Milwaukee still had charge left. My shoulders will fatigue before that battery will. The Milwaukee goes through chain oil faster but it might be that it was brand new when I started this. Honestly, I'm totally happy using either of these excellent saws, but I'm feeling like I'm always going to reach for the Milwaukee first.

What type of battery was in the milkwaukee? XP, HO, Forge ?

[MrVrick]

Thanks. more bed time viewing this is what I need to go with denim my bid and brace for Haloween

[samshores]

Have you got a link for the aspen fuel can carrier . That is smart!

[almclean]

Being a Husky man through and through, I’d go for the Milwaukee 😁

[chrismortimer]

Always been massive stihl fan, been looking at ego for a while but that milwuakee is proper impressive

[jameshancock]

I’m biased since I’ve got the husky t540ixp but it’s so much lighter than the stihl which matters to me more the a tiny but extra cutting speed, seems the Milwaukee has by far the most torque of the lot which is super impressive

[russellpetrie]

be interesting to compare one of them to the petrol equivalent in the same tests you did there just to see if they are just as powerful as a the petrol equivalent

[jonweston]

Hi Machinery Nation!
Could you put the weights of each saw up including battery? That would be helpful .
Regards,
Jon.

i got a makita bat tree and it was great but now it just shuts off constantly. Make one small cut and it stops and you have to shut it off and turn it back on. Yes I have a fresh battery. I think I made a big cut one time when new and it shut down. And after that its shutting down all the time. I cant make 1 or 2 cuts and its shuts down even with small 1 2 inch stuff.

[Premier_lawns_official]

Great video lads, I like those new trousers

[tgsgardenmaintenance]

Bit of a fanboy for Husqvarna, though I do have some Stihl equipment. Both make top notch tools! Did purchase my first Milwaukee tool this year, the M12 hatchet, and for pruning, it's excellent!

[sirvozelo]

Batom line, is no match for the Husky 540iXP, I have the Stihl 161T, MSA300 (a beast), GTA26, and 220C in the two hands configuration.
I never have a chance to test mine Stihl 220C against the Husky 540iXP but for the videos I have see sure I with loose in the matters of speed.
In my case my MSA220C in over 3 years I have used and abused this little machine beyond manufacturing recommendation so far it never fail, so in overall I am happy with it.
