TINY STIHL GTA 26..First look at this new saw, gimmick or awesome? You decide!
What happens here
The presenter then transports the Stihl GTA 26 via an ATV to a wooded area to demonstrate its use in clearing a trail. He begins by cutting through small saplings and muscadine vines, showcasing the tool's ability to easily handle these. He also demonstrates cutting larger branches, approximately 3 to 4 inches in diameter, acknowledging that the saw may bog down slightly but still cuts effectively. He explicitly states that the tool is excellent for cutting poison ivy vines without spreading sawdust, unlike a larger chainsaw. He performs a 'push cut' and a 'back cut' on a thick wild cherry tree limb to demonstrate its power, noting the battery still has three out of four bars after significant use.
Goal: Clear a path through a wooded area using the mini chainsaw.
