I literally found an 18v ryobi chainsaw on council cleanup. Already had the batteries so tested it out - only suited to pruning around the yard with a tiny bar and very slow chain speed. Now have a 36v and it is more like a proper saw but still a bit small for a rural block. It is however really convenient, fairly powerful for its size and so quiet you don’t need earplugs....I should also add. I haven't ruled out a battery powered saw....but there's no power at the block and it's a 10 minute drive back to our place.
I am, however, invested in the Makita 18v system....and they have a couple of cordless options....
IF the budget was there having a smaller battery unit (Makita 2x18v?) and a big petrol saw for serious work would be the go.
