I love my Makita chain saw, I don't cut as much wood as I use to, so it works great for me. It's a 16" with double 18V batteries, just as powerful as my gas saw. I bought it with 4 batteries and I can just switch batteries and keep cutting. It will give me an hour of cutting and it takes about 45 minutes to charge them up. So, with the 4 batteries I could go all day with just switching out batteries.
My biggest problem is I will run dead before that!
As far as the lawn mower, I don't have much grass, so I only need a push mower. A Makita battery mower will suit me just fine.
My snow blower and backpack blower will stay gas powered and my tractor is diesel.
I haven't found a battery powered leaf blower worth a dam!
See, I totally dig my Greenworks Pro 60V hand and backpack blowers, but there's no way you'll catch me with a 16" battery-powered chainsaw! Stihl 361 FOR LIFE.
