Chainsaws For Sale in Florida

When you need a reliable tool to make your cutting and brush-clearing tasks more manageable, you may want to consider investing in a commercial or residential chainsaw. You’ll want to take some time to consider your needs so you can choose the right model for your needs. Read on for essential chainsaw buying tips.
 

The two types of engine power are gas and electric.
 

When it comes to the gas models, you’ll have superior power for handling big jobs. Keep in mind that you’ll always need to have gas and oil readily available. This type of chainsaw will also be heavier and cause more noise pollution.
 

Electric models, on the other hand, are more lightweight and they don’t require fuel. You’ll have a different set of restrictions with these models, like an extension cord or battery life. However, electric chainsaws are ideal for handling lighter tasks.
 

This measurement ranges from the tip of the chain to where it enters into the equipment housing. The bar length is the active cutting area as well as the largest length of wood the machine can handle in a single motion. Larger pieces of wood can be managed with smaller equipment, but you’ll need to make more than one pass. To ensure safety, your bar length should be around 2” longer than the wood.
 

If you find yourself constantly making multiple passes on a single piece of wood, you may need to upgrade your bar length. Longer chainsaws are more challenging to handle safely, though, so you should only upgrade if you truly need it. Minor tasks such as limbing and trimming don’t need anything over 14” in length. If you’ll be taking on heavier tasks, like felling and cutting firewood, you’d benefit from a bar length upwards of 18”. The only operation that requires a bar length over 18” is bucking.
