Looking to add this X25 to the off-road gear. I know it's a splitting tool, but will it be any good for chopping down fallen tree limbs in trails?

I'd look more toward the 28" chopping axe for that. The sides of the splitting axe protrude enough that they could cause the blade to rotate while penetrating the wood. That being said, I have not tied it for chopping either. I use the X15 chopping axe for that and it is strapped to my ATV. The overall quality of these axes is amazing and you won't be disappointed with them.

Yes, It has a sharp edge and can double as an axe for that purpose. As a splitting maul, it has trouble with some cross grained Australian hardwoods, but is great for 90% of the wood I split....including most hardwoods.

I have used it to split small, well dried, pine logs, but this is more of a hatchet than an axe. On harder woods you might have a little trouble. Still, you should be able to drive it through tough wood with a hammer or rock.

I tried it on some small trees and found it would not grip on them. I think if the tree is big enough for this tool to work the ATV would not be able to pull it.

This is a great wagon for off pavement use. It's very stable with its big tires and is great for pulling the grandson through the woods. He now enjoys pulling it around the gavel path in his forested backyard. My kids (long ago) had the wood wagon. It was great for pavement, but is not as sturdy as the Classic ATV.

The fiskars 28 inch would be better suited for you ; this will give you more power in your swing in we're you stand to the timber you are splitting; awesome bit of gear happy splitting!

I bought mine primarily to rip through 3/4 inch plywood, maple, birch, pine, oak, etc, and it works great. Couldn´t tell you how long the battery will last because I only cut through a couple of sheets at the time and then store it. But for my needs I am very happy with it, in fact, I don´t use the corded one anymore

For an electric snowthrower it does very well. It's a very strong tool. You merely have to adjust your speed to the density of the snow.

No. In fact, I hired a man to cut down some overgrown shrubs. His chain saw did not work. I gave him the WORX to use. He looked at me like I was insane. The WORX did the job!! Other than that, I have used it mostly for very small jobs. I really like it and feel safe using the chain saw.

I wouldn't recommend it; the blade requires some type of handle to be safe to use and is longer than a typical pruning saw would be. The blade that came with mine was very dull due to poor packaging, too; and would be hard to push and pull through most tree limbs without the extra leverage the polls give you. You could likely use it as a hand pruning saw in a pinch, but I think it would be risky to do so.

Where do you want to get the saw from? A truck? Do you plan on moving it much? It takes two people to get it on and off a pick up truck comfortably I have done it myself The saw is ruggedly built and heavy. Seems like a couple hundred lbs but Sawstop would know exactly I strongly recommend that you spend the extra money and get the mobile base, especially if you want to move it a couple if feet for a long cut.

Would probably be good. It doesn't have a real good height adjustment for real close cutting, but it works great for thicker grass and around bushes, etc.

Wow some of these answers shock me...this can be used for splitting AND chopping...it just depends on the diameter of the wood...as with any hatchet, its going to be a lot easier with branches and trunks less than 5 inches...when you get into bigger pieces of wood it would still work but you will be there for awhile and thats when you should be using a full sized axe.

Not only will it pick up small tree limbs but large ones as well. I even pick up brick with it and place it on my hand. Tough tool and great for the back. No bending or stooping.

I have done test rip cuts in 4/4 maple and it works well, not sure if this is beyond the design. Mostly using the saw for various cross cuts (trimming plugs, end pieces) on maple and walnut. Even tried it out on bubinga and it cuts well if you go slowly. Love the canvas cover.

Not likely, its a lot smaller than the picture makes it out to be. That, and it will most likely break the first time you use it, also, the "axe head" is virtually useless. Its just slightly bigger than a hatchet, it has multi tool look, but all the options it has for use are the minimal requirement to call it a tool for its purpose. I use it as a splitting wedge for firewood now, its ok for that. Money better spent on a sog double sided axe for entry purposes, a knife with a dulled tip for cutting seatbelts with window punch of course. A 24" set of channel locks will work that coupling of yours, homedepot.

I have cut a few small tree limbs with it. It does that OK. Clearing brush with this knife would be quite a chore. Thats not really what it is designed for.

MattThis a good value piece of equipment. Sufficient power. Might consider upgrading the blade to a cut a finer cut. Also I tweaked my saw following the advice in this video on you tube and it made a significant difference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqqcmC5UY5E
