Best Low-Maintenance Chainsaw for Tree Felling
The best low-maintenance chainsaw for tree felling: the EGO Power+ CS2005 56V 20" (~$550).
If you fell trees a few times a year and don't want to deal with gas mixing, carburetor cleaning, or a saw that won't start after sitting in the garage for months. The EGO CS2005 brings 55cc gas-equivalent felling power with zero gas maintenance. Charge the battery, grab the saw, and press the button. The 20-inch bar handles trees up to 18 inches in a single pass, and three speed settings help you stretch battery life across multiple cuts. When the job is done, put it on the shelf until next time.
