Buying guide

Building a fleet

Most crews run a top-handle saw for the climber, a mid-size rear-handle saw for limbing and bucking, and one big saw for removals and stump work. Battery saws are gaining ground for pruning and noise-sensitive jobs. Add a backpack blower for cleanup and stock filters and spark plugs.

Top-handle saws are designed for use in the tree by trained operators only. Read the manual and follow ANSI Z133 for saw use aloft.

Keeping equipment running

Most breakdowns come down to fuel, air and spark. Run fresh or premixed fuel, clean air filters daily in dusty work, and keep spare plugs and fuel filters in the truck. Sharpen chains often, since a dull chain works the engine harder.

Keep a simple log of hours and service for each machine, and send saws to a servicing dealer for carburetor work, chain brake repairs and anything you are unsure about. Train every operator on each machine before they use it, and never remove factory safety features.

Common questions

Should I switch to battery-powered equipment?

Battery saws and blowers work well for pruning, small removals and residential cleanup. Most crews still keep gas saws for heavy wood.
