Husqvarna's 540i XP is one of the best electric chainsaws, but with a steep price tag will it really convince many shoppers to go electric? FB: TheMountainGarden

TMG Goes Solar! We're Doing A DIY Off-Grid Install!

We finally did it! We ordered 10.5 kw of solar panels, 20 kw of inverters and a 91 kWh battery bank. Over the summer we'll be installing everything to start "load shifting" our usage from on-peak to off-peak with PG&E, providing battery backup for everything in the house and then in a few months wiring up the 28 solar panels to try and get most of our usage totally off the grid. This should be ...
The Best Tool Ever! - Electric Wheelbarrow By Overland Carts
Переглядів 61 тис.4 роки тому
About 2 years ago we got tired of trying to push a heavy wheelbarrow up-hill, and tired of trying to control a heavy wheelbarrow downhill. After a great deal of research we ended up with an Overland Carts electric wheelbarrow which has served us faithfully for over 2 years. The biggest thing to know about it however is that it's not an ATV with a barrow on top, if that's what you need you may n...
EV Chainsaw Battle! Husqvarna vs DeWalt!
Переглядів 22 тис.4 роки тому
How does a "professional" chainsaw compare to a battery option from a power tool company like DeWalt? Let's find out! In this video we pit the Husqvarna 535i XP against the DeWalt DCCS670. Not a great pairing? Never fear, we'll have the 540i XP soon... FB: TheMountainGarden
Husqvarna 535i XP | My New Favorite Saw?
Переглядів 24 тис.4 роки тому
Husqvarna's latest battery chainsaw isn't the most powerful battery saw I've ever used, but the mission with the 535i XP wasn't to make a direct competitor to DeWalt's 60V saw (that's the upcoming 540i), instead they made an ultra-light saw that's weather resistant and has an optional battery backpack for the ultimate brush clearing saw.

    Great review thanks. Its so tough deciding to switch to battery tools after buying a leaf blower that only blew for 12 mins then needed a 4 hour charge. Extra batteries and quick charger just didnt seem worth the extra expence. Took it back and bought a 2 stroker. Old school me i guess

    I'm not a fan of the tile, nor the river rock floor which someone thinks will never get slippery, but I've had that before, and it's extremely dangerous. I don't like the stabby water faucet handles, neither.

    I have a question concerning your system if you don’t mind…I had a 160 ft water well drilled and the water is terribly high in iron and manganese and coliform…I was thinking about a 250 gallon water storage tank to start the process since very little water is used…my question is…can I just use aeration at the top of the tank to turn the iron bacteria to a ferric state or do I have to use the ozone process? Once the ferrous iron and manganese turn ferric and sink to the bottum…I can then pump out the water from center of tank to then run thru filters and UV?

Solar array will be mounted on top of a High Cube Container and all equipment located inside (shortest runs possible). We were able to retrieve 2 48 volt Absolyte Telecomm battery banks for storage. We'll see how long they will operate and then purchase new battery banks later when we expand the system. Thanks for posting your video!

    Ive used a 535i for 7 years now and its the first saw out of the truck when we arrive onsite. Yes you cannot drag it roughly out of a pinched limb but they are rugged. We pull trees from rivers[flood prevention] and its been swinmming a few times and still works fine. You can get a wrenchless thumb wheel chain tensioner from Husqy aftermarket. It’s sturdier than the single bolt system. Batteries can die after 4 or five years and chargers can drop dead too with no warning. They both hate being stored in sub zero temperatures but I’ve revived seemingly dead batteries by gently heating them to 90 F. Alway blow the battery and the saw through with a good airline. I spray WD40 on the guide bar every time i put it away but that mostly from working in water. It will cut underwater to 12” ! Kieran. UK

    an exception to what he says about only two types of water softeners, replacing calcium with sodium or potassium, there are other options, such as what we've been using, Katalox Light media which is different, and does not require salt or potassium permanganate regen. backwash cycling. i really learned a lot from this video and his other one, so i ordered a Del Ozone 100 module from LoveYourHotTub, for our settling tank. i was planning to use a pool chlorinator, we have 25 ppm iron and bacteria from the well.

BUT i just read the comment about how ambient air generates unhealthy nitrogen reactants, do you know if that's true? can u test this system to verify, please? also curious if u know, does output improve or performance remain consistent with the newer and discontinued Del modules?
