Any chance of a photo of the oak tree? If it has a diameter (as opposed to girth) of 12 feet it's going to be one of the largest and hence oldest oaks in the country, possibly 1000 years, and will definitely be tpo'd.

I speed read and presumed girth. It would be some tree if diameter!

And I mis-typed late last night should have been girth . Sorry to disappoint. Just been out and measured it out of interest - didn't take a photo because it's peeing it down. About 2m off the ground it's 13.5ft girth.

Bunkum Windy I have lithium Makita ones and they can be charged 1000s of times no issues. Battery issues were with n-cads etc

Im talking from my own experience where i only use the chainsaw once a year, and leaving a battery to stew for that long cannot do it any good. I might be wrong, but for me Aspen fuel is my solution to this

battery chainsaws are great only if you use them regularly to keep the batteries maintained, otherwise the batteries deplete and thats no fun.
