I have a battery-powered Black & Decker chain saw. Of course, Beau LAUGHS at it, ‘Oh, I see you’re bringing out THE BIG GUNS, today!’) but it gets the fruit tree and small shrub pruning done that I need to do.
Also, I don’t have to be constantly fiddling with it. He’s always fixing SOMETHING with his array of chainsaws. But, it keeps him out of my hair, LOL!
You’ll love the convenience of it!
The “Greening” has begun. Between a couple of mild days & some heavy showers last Sunday, the grass is waking up & starting to get scraggly in a couple of places. For sure, I will have to mow some areas by next weekend.
Mom needed a cart to haul stuff she’s trimming off the fences so I tried to start the mower to pull the cart - no luck. Even after being on the battery charger & showing a full charge, no luck. What to do? The company in the area recommended to me for servicing only services what they sell & I don’t have that brand mower. :-(
My brother texted Friday night - he & the SIL wanted to visit today, go to church with us & she is bringing lunch. I asked if he would be trailering Clyde & mom’s golf cart on this trip & he said ‘no’. He had promised to service Clyde before he brought it to me & had not had time. I told him the mower I have won’t start & he said he’d look at it.
Yesterday afternoon, I got a text with a picture .... Clyde, sitting on my brother’s trailer. He had serviced it (oil change, etc), sharpened the blades, power washed it, & Clyde will be here today! Great brother, no? It is such a relief to know I can keep the 3+ acres of grass under control from the get-go this year!
Birds are singing up a storm, lots of sunshine - it’s a beautiful morning!
I use a battery powered reciprocating saw for lighter stuff. It came with 2 batteries, so it will run for a while. Over 2” I switch to my Dad’s old Stihl electric chain saw.
