Petrol Chainsaws Built for Dependable Cutting

Petrol chainsaws remain the standard choice for anyone working away from a power supply, offering consistent cutting performance and unrestricted mobility across woodland, fields, verges and remote sites. Their power and run time make them well suited to sustained work where a cordless machine would need repeated recharging.

Bar length is the key consideration when selecting a saw. Shorter bars offer better control and manoeuvrability for pruning, limbing and firewood work, while longer bars provide the reach required for larger timber. Their robust construction and dependable engines make petrol chainsaws well suited to regular seasonal use across agricultural, forestry and estate applications.

Long Reach Pruners for Working at Height

For pruning and limbing work above head height, a long reach pruner allows operators to cut from the ground rather than working from a ladder, which is both quicker and considerably safer. The extended shaft puts the cutting head where it is needed while keeping the operator stable and in control.

Long reach pruners are widely used for orchard maintenance, hedgerow and tree work, clearing overhanging branches from tracks and driveways, and general estate management where regular height work is required throughout the year.

Battery Powered Chainsaws for Cleaner, Quieter Cutting

For jobs where noise, fumes or fuel mixing are a drawback, a battery powered chainsaw offers a practical alternative to petrol. With no engine to warm up, no exhaust emissions and instant start-up, they suit routine garden maintenance, light pruning and cutting closer to livestock, visitors or residential boundaries where a quieter machine makes a real difference.

Battery chainsaws have closed much of the performance gap with petrol models in recent years, delivering strong cutting power alongside lower vibration and reduced upkeep, since there's no spark plug, air filter or fuel system to maintain. Run time depends on battery capacity and the demands of the job, so they're best suited to lighter, more frequent tasks, with petrol remaining the better choice for sustained cutting over a full working day. Where a battery platform is shared across other garden machinery, one battery can often power multiple tools, cutting down on spare fuel and chargers needed on site.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size chainsaw do I need?

Bar length should be matched to the timber you cut most often. Shorter bars offer better control and manoeuvrability for pruning, limbing and firewood work, while longer bars provide the reach needed for larger trunks. Our experienced team can help you select the most suitable machine.

What is a long reach pruner used for?

A long reach pruner, sometimes called a pole saw, allows branches to be cut above head height while the operator remains on the ground. It is commonly used for orchard maintenance, hedgerow and tree work, and clearing overhanging branches from tracks and driveways.

Do I need training to use a chainsaw?

Chainsaws are among the most hazardous items of groundcare machinery, and appropriate training and personal protective equipment are strongly recommended for all users. Anyone using a chainsaw at work is generally required to hold a recognised certificate of competence, and employers should confirm their obligations under current guidance.

Are petrol chainsaws suitable for professional use?

Yes. Petrol chainsaws are widely used by farmers, foresters, arborists, estate managers and grounds maintenance contractors thanks to their power, unrestricted mobility and ability to handle regular, demanding cutting work. However, Mitox chainsaws are generally aimed at lighter, domestic use. For professional use, we would supply customer preference.

Is a battery chainsaw as powerful as a petrol chainsaw?

Modern battery chainsaws offer strong cutting performance for their size and are well suited to light pruning, firewood processing and general garden maintenance. For sustained, heavy-duty cutting throughout the working day, petrol chainsaws still offer greater run time and more consistent power.

How should a chainsaw be maintained?

Regular maintenance makes a significant difference to both performance and safety. Keeping the chain correctly sharpened and tensioned, checking the bar for wear, cleaning the air filter and using the correct fuel and chain oil all help the machine cut efficiently and last longer.

Do you provide servicing and support?

Yes. Alongside supplying chainsaws, we offer servicing, maintenance, genuine parts and ongoing aftersales support to most makes to help keep your equipment operating reliably throughout its working life.
