Looking at the bar shape and noise level, they probably will end up being a favourite with the suburban chainsaw carvers.
Nice and quite, and I bet heaps lighter than a 2 stroke saw the same size as well.
Do they have interchangeable batteries ?

Seems to cut alright as well mate
Cheers and thanks for sharing

They do cut well but not as light as they look. The battery is basically half their weight.

Who's set up is this Andrew. U have a super axe. Or do u have a Aussie chopper too.
Are they both good or one much better than the other. ?

The Aussie Chopper is Andrew's mate's setup.
I had a run of Andrew's Super Axe the other week. Not too bad but a bit gutless on some of the tougher stuff. They are a nice setup to use but Andrew's particular model would struggle on the harder stuff with twisted grain I reckon.

Would u know if the chopper would be better in that instance ?

I think it would be. I haven't seen the chopper in action but it has a good motor/pump and ram size. The Super Axe is a good setup, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't have enough grunt to cut across the grain on twisty stuff. In easy to split wood I reckon it's a bloody good setup. From what Andrew said it's the smallest model they made. With a few more HP, psi, and a bigger ram it would do really well but with the axe part being on a pivot point it would never be able to completely sever any twisty fibres. It does have a lot of good features though but just lacked a bit of grunt on some bits of Redgum.
