They are cute but you outgrow their use really easy. My son sells them and we call them ‘party favors’ because they fit in small bags. They are cute but I prefer MUCH LARGER for our farm!
yep...it's not a firewood cutting chainsaw brotha...but a great little grab and go for the ATV or UTV trails or small limbs in the roadway. I've never seen anyone hang a Farm Boss off the side of there 4 wheeler to cut a 1/4 inch branch lol...ya also wouldn't take apart a circuit board with a #4 Philips head lol...I'm getting one...it was super handy!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer hell yeah
Seriously? I've got just under 2/10ths of an acre. I have a real chainsaw for the bigger trees, but this looks perfect for most of my needs.
Adding to that, the battery pack looks the same as my Bosch Drill/Driver combo and if it is, that's a very definite plus.
Its unlikely a farmer would buy a GTA 26 in the expectation it would be the only chainsaw needed. However most land holders would like a little chainsaw that is easy to carry around.
@@brianmeattey4151 im a stihl guy too but im getting a chikura 52cc 16 piece wich bit cheaper for $565.00 wich the 36.3cc km131r with 7 piece is over $2,000
As a woman who has to do my own gardening and pruning, this is a godsend. It's lightweight but powerful so very easy for me to use. I love it
That's good to hear, I just bought one for my girlfriend for when she walks through our woods. She's pretty small and I liked this because it seems like it can fit in a back pack no problem, I think she would get fatigued carrying anything bigger. Also looks pretty safe
I have one. I use it a bunch. We have a little more than 30 acres that is woods and 18 more of lightly wooded pasture area. It helps to keep the lower branches nice and clipped. I also use it along the fenceline A BUNCH!
Since we've moved up here to N. E. Texas and are building this farm, we've acquired a bunch of tools and equipment. I'm loving all of the Stihl battery tools. We have an MS 170 and whatever model number the 24" bar is also. But for ease of use and easy toting, the battery operated tools are great!
I'm a Stihl dealer and we sold out of the GTA 26 in June 2020. Everyone who bought one loves it, get calls everyday from people wanting to buy one. My distributer doesn't even list them as an available product presently. I do have the batteries and chains in stock though. It is my understanding there will be a HSA26 (hedge trimmer) coming out shortly to share the same battery platform hand replace HSA25.
Stihl Australia did not have any either. A few weeks ago I saw my local Stihl dealer and asked if my name could be put down for a GTA 26 when they had a delivery of them. They thought they’d get stock in February 2021. So it was a pleasant surprise to get a call a week ago from the shop keeper letting me know I could pick up a GTA.
The GTA will make a great Christmas present. Who doesn’t like the idea of a mini chainsaw?
Dealer as well, just got about a dozen GTA 26 in, been on order since summer. I have a couple of the HSA26 as well. Those don't sell near as well though. I have A LOT of elderly women that come in and but the GTA26
@@topnotchdjsf thank you for the response. I have GTA26s in stock and have added the HSA26 to my spring order. I'm looking forward to the new Stihl "dust buster" vacuum scheduled for release in 2022.
I've had one for 9 months. They don't have a lot of power, but it does a great job for what it was designed for. Make sure you get an eighth inch file to sharpen it and an extra battery. I also have an extra chain and sprocket. Continuously it may run 10 minutes with no load an five minutes with a load.
That's the perfect size to sit on the four wheeler while checking fence lines and you come across fallen branches. 🚜-Woooo!!
I use mine exactly like that just about every day 🖒
I've been playing with options for jeep trail maintenance, and this might be pretty convenient for that. Just a few days ago my wife was hanging out the jeep window with a hand saw, cutting what was hitting the windshield, while brush was blocking both doors. This would have saved her a lot of time.
I ordered 1 from stihl back at the end of September and iam stihl waiting for it. I think Stihl repackaged this saw there are many similar variations.
Give your neighbor the new one that you buy for yourself!
cant get them...but I did bring him a gift 👍
Yes,, poor neighbors,, seeing this guy, not giving a damn about his neighbours tools,, I would want to slap him hard if it was my brand new tool!
Thanks for the review Josh, very useful. We had one delivered today and it came in a hard case, so sounds like Stihl listened to customer feedback and changed the packaging.
“I don’t work for Stihl, I work for Josh” I like that 👍🤣
I gave my long power saw to my Son. I was kind of afraid of it. But I do take care of my yard and that small saw looks like just what I need. thanks for showing this to us. I am 77 so I want to be careful of me.
I use mine almost everyday. It makes it easier to get into cedar trunks for the bigger saws. I also carry this for use on the smaller trees that are too big for my brush cutter
I've used one of these for awhile now. I've cut plenty of cherry and peach branches with it that exceed the diameter STIHL recommends. As long as you let it do the work, it'll cut anything you judge it's able to. We keep 2 batteries around per saw and that gets us through the day. They make holsters as well and they're awesome.
TY for being informative, demonstrative and cutting to the chase (pun not intended). Great video and I'm heading outside with my new GTA 26!!!
Looks like an awesome little saw Josh. I used a lopper pruner in my orchard to prune back the dead wood and it really can get tiresome and doesn’t always get a clean cut. I’m gonna check that out, now I’m pruning my mini orchard with my Stihl 361 it gets my shoulders super fatigued and my squeeze grip cramps up from using the pruners. Seems useful for those small jobs at the farm.
We just bought one for our farm. Great piece of kit. We just keep it in our Land Rover for little branches hanging across our tracks and stuff. It’s also very safe eg no kickback like a standard chainsaw. Battery lasts a fair while and doesn’t take long to charge again. Would definitely recommend to anyone
I bought one yesterday. I brush hog 35 acres of pasture. I have tree branches here and there hanging down to smack me in the face. I always say I’m going to go back out and trim those branches with my pole saw or full size chain saw, but I never do. I’m going to carry this on the tractor with me and trim those low hanging branches as I encounter them. I never imagined I’d buy a rechargeable battery powered saw, but I relented and I’m going to test this out on my property.
there ya go...an easy solution! Bought one for my dad just for this reason!
Nice tool. Just one more thing to maintain. I use a recip saw with a pruning saw.
that's pruning blade.
Check out the Milwaukee hatchet as well. A little more expensive but a little more saw also. We have one and love it. And if you already have Milwaukee m12 batteries that’s a huge plus. It’s one less battery brand to deal with.
I own a lot of Stihl tools but I bought Milwaukee 6 inch M12. I already have plenty of Milwaukee batteries.
I heard grandma never trims her bush.My neighbor used to trim her bush.I miss those days
Cool little saw. I can see tons of uses around the yard for it, or the tree stand....Keeping you in our prayers Josh! Love the positive attitude!
I bought one yesterday @ Riddle Tractor in Winston!
It's great for backpacking, with an extra battery, you can't go wrong. I can set up camp and cut enough wood for several days, fast and easy, so I can out my time setting up more important things.
Lots of guys carry a chain saw on there atv . Man that size would be great . Im a atv trail channel . Man I need one of those .
Good luck finding one, selling for over $300 on eBay
There has been a real shortage of them in Australia too. We were lucky to get one a few weeks ago.
I saw that...more money than sense I guess...new cell phone is $1200....imagine what your great grandfather would think...a model A ford was cheaper
Looks like a nice little saw... The quad, on the other hand, reminds me of a couple mall-ninja'd AR15s I've seen at gun shows.
The Swiss Army Honda... Wooooo!
Thank you for the review Josh. I looked at these today in the Stihl Shop and thought that this would be the saw for me. I have been trimming Pohutakawa trees ( NZ ) on our property for many years using a Hand saw of all things, but this will make life a whole lot easier. Your review has 'Sold' it for me.
AND you are fun to watch. Lol. Cheers.
I plan on getting it for some light work instead uo hedge clippers. As I get older its work smarter, not harder.
Am so excited to receive it tomorrow just worry little bit the battery
Picked up a new chain from my Sthil dealer and saw this (toy) wondering how it worked, good video!👍🏼🇱🇷
Milwaukee hatchet saw may be a better purchase for your farm. Thanks for the video and keep up the great work.
Or a Makita duc 302 or 306 for an actual pruning electrical chainsaw, instead of these ghimicks.
got one three weeks ago,nice,Hamilton Zealand
It look Cute - But I like my Milwaukee brand Hacks-all with a 9 inch pruning blade... It can do pruning up to a 5 -6 inch limb. plus it has other applications ; thus more versatile than this little toy...
Not my left ,your left lol! That looks like a really nice saw, it would be nice to cut out shooting lanes especially the small stuff nice review!
On commercials they pronounce it steel. Id assume if that was wrong Stihl would have corrected it.
The case I believe is made to hang on the wall and you in zip it and it hanged down and you just grab it and go without the case and bring it back and pack it and zip it up and all ya see it stihl hanging on the wall ..I'm sure it wasn't designed to take everywhere in the case lol but it's a cute lil thing for sure and you can use any light weight oil I'm sure but have a great night and godbless
I've got one of these. I think it does what it is designed to do and it does it well.
Just like the Milwaukee Hatchet 12v.
Thanks for mentioning that it’s good for grandma to cut bushes since that’s what this grandma wants one for 😂
Nice little Carving Saw
If used for it's intended purpose looks like an A+ from me, great review as always
That is a cool little fella! Thank you bro!
That’s super nice not only for just trails but it and their pole saw would be great for hunter’s as well even though it’s on back Order here I paid just gotta wait but that’s my plan trails and setting up deer stands and shooting lane’s because there is no need for a big loud saw and if it’s over say 3-4 inches I don’t cut em just trim thank you brother for the tool video it’s a nice little tool forsure
I have this tool and it is literally the best. I use it on our farm almost daily!
Josh you dropped a wad of money at 11:07 🤔
Na his cheat sheet
Merry Christmas Josh and Happy New Yeat🎄
what i like in your video is the mood you give : very dynamic and enthusiastic ! In France lot of people appear too serious in comparison 😌
My kids bought me one of these for my birthday last year (May 2022) & I love it. Perfect for my needs although I admit the ‘soft’ case is annoying. I use my ‘saw’ to pruner my shrubs & my elderly neighbours shrubs.
there is a holster you can buy now! It's awesome!
Good review Josh, I'm looking for something to do brush cutting and that seems to fit the bill!
This saw came out right after I bought 5 small battery sawzall for trimming limps to big for loppers. I own a lawncare buisness with 5 crews and I have a chainsaw for myself that I use around my property. But I dont keep chainsaws on my trucks because I don't use them super often normally just to cut a few low hanging limbs here and there. I wish I would of bought these instead of the sawzalls the sawzalls do everything I need them to do but they are very slow compared to a chainsaw.
Oh my gosh, I can just picture all these suburban Mom's "Oh honey, I got that!" and whip out their little chainsaw, hahaha! But in all honesty, the place I SEE it used best is for hunters. You toss it in your pocket and as you grab your climber stand and boom, "crap there's a tree branch in my way" you whip out your tiny saw and cut off those troublesom branches and up ya go! Yup, total winner in my book. Just for that. You have NO IDEA how long I sit trying to saw through branches :P
lol...now see how everything I do is wrong bhahahaa....
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer 😂 nah, not wrong! Things are always different from a women's perspective 😄... no wait... I guess that means you ARE wrong then 🤣😉
Happy holidays! 🎄🎁
nothing better than seeing real world, see what this thing can do videos. Thanks Josh! Woooooooo!
Josh is makin kindlin wood...
When i worked on a golf course that'd be nice to keep on the tractors to trim limbs or prune
the teats off the trees!! Great to keep on a lawn mower doing lawn care too!!
Hope you're able to find one Stoney good luck!! *Have a good'nnn*
Could do with a 6 to 8 foot control pole for high pruning
this would make my life so much easier. i have some health issues so even a small but bigger chainsaw isnt something i want to mess with. but this will help me do a much better job keeping up pruning the orchard and rogue saplings and invasive honeysuckle. thanks for the review
Josh I agree that little saw would do the job for trimming and small limbs and you don't have to grab your gas saw , fill it up with gas and oil and crank it . Just to cut a few bushes or limbs .Great little tool . Merry Christmas and God Bless .
A friend of mine in Norway sent me mine In February this year and I like it. Like any other tool, it has its place in your cutting arsenal. Hopefully over time they will make improvements. But for now it is a handy little tool.
Hey Josh thank you for the video I enjoyed it but I don't think I would by one but to each his own
Battery tools are getting more powerful and one day will replace corded tools as well as light gas saws.
Neat, but not that useful. The most useful saw I own is a Stihl MS180. It's just good at everything! It's my go to.
I thought it was pretty cool...you're not reaching off the side of your 4 wheeler with an MS180 cutting branches on the fly...I really liked it for a handy little pruning saw...especially for trails
Love the heck out of my MS180... best little saw I’ve ever used.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer That’s a true statement. No ATV action here though.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer The Milwaukee M12 Fuel Hatchet saw is better. The automatic oiler on the Milwaukee Hatchet makes it a clear winner.
Great review! That would be great to make walking trails through the woods.
Looks like it’d be a perfect tool for cleaning the little sprouts out of fence rows. I’ve considered buying one but had reservations. Now that I’ve seen it in action I may be sold. Definitely not one to take the place of a full size saw, but not a bad add to the list of many tools on the farm!
My husband had a Stihl he never complained about it. Worked logging for years as well as cutting wood for our wood stove. Course that was years ago.
Thanks for sharing!
That would be very handy saw can you let Santa know I need one just saying Merry Christmas thanks for sharing
Great video bud I really enjoyed it ..
I bought a similar one years ago called a Gator and still have and use it!
Got 2 Gators on clearance about 10 years ago and both are still running. Use them hard, no oil at times, dropping stuff 3x the recommended size and little maintenance and they have never let me down. Great little piece of equipment.
I've had one since early spring. I use it all the time for cutting saplings out of fence rows around the farm here. Light and easy to control in tight places (woven wire for instance) and about 30 minutes of cut time between charges (I bought 2 extra batteries so I can use it pretty much constantly if need be though). I've probably sent a dozen people to our local shihl dealer to buy one after seeing me use mine.
Wish I had one of those back in the day when I sold Christmas trees that would have been a life saver, I would killl my arm every year doing trimming and fresh cuts on the base of the trunk!
My son works at Land and Coats and was saying he was going to get me 1 of those for Christmas and now I’m really hoping he actually gets it for me now. Neat little chainsaw
Stihl if you don't already make one, a hip holster for this thing would help sell a few.
In some instances where this is useful, the use of both hands in order to get to the worksite is extremely important.
Awesome little saw stoneyman love the tool Tuesday reviews buddy merry Christmas ☃️🎄🎄 to you pal
I have one. Great for grape vines
Yep after watching this video im getting one. i can so so many uses for it.
I got a Bush like that it will be back that tall again by mid summer. Lol
We have one as a Christmas present to ourselves. It was so difficult finding one in Australia. There has been a shortage of the GTA26.
The main reason we bought it is we have a tree orchard and the GTA should be very hand pruning the trees.
Can normal bar oil be used to lubricate the chain?
It would be nice if it came with a molded case that wasn't so flimsy. At this price you'd think it would auto oil the bar & chain.
yep...it's most certainly not a "commercial" limbing saw...more of a saw to use in a pinch I guess or doing a bit of light clearing and pruning
It might be good for others but not me.
Good evening SRF!
Is that oil the same oil you used on your cast iron frying pan?
Nope on his farm Jeep resto. Where is that thing????
You forgot to mention that there's no chain adjustment, competitors have it , why not Stihl? I'm already on my 3rd.chain.
I think it would be better with like a 2inch longer blade in my opinion.
I kinda want one
That saw looks great!
Hi..... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍
Thanks for another great tool Tuesday review Josh. Did you remember to pick up the chain cover that you dropped in the leaves?
Good for ice carving.....
All the channels seem to be getting one of the little saws. Awesome.
Stihl should make one that is full-size-saw style or make the bar so that you can put it on a “real” chainsaw
Great video Josh 🇺🇲 WOOOOOO!!!! Merry Christmas 🎄
Good evening SRF #7
I just got this for Christmas and very excited to use it.
I got one for my dad! And myself! Love it!
I couldn't locate one of these locally as they are limited to in-person purchase at Stihl dealer. Found the Milwaukee hatchet all over and just ordered one from CPO outlet, but others are available
id like to get the Milwaukee version of this saw
I think these type of small saws are waste of my time and money. Good review.
yep....you've probably never had to use a chainsaw to clear brush on trails around your property. This saw is super handy, and your great grandmother can carry it
I can see you having that in a holster on your 4-wheeler with a spare battery. “Have chain saw will travel”.
You should give the neighbor the new one..... jesayin.
yep...because my 10 mins of use probably ruined it right lol.....we love our neighbor's around here my friend..we all share...such a wonderful community
