What size wire for 250 foot extension cord to run a 120 Volt 8 amp electric tree trimmer?

For a 5% volt drop of 6 volts the total resistance should be less than 6/8 ohms, 0.75 ohms, which for a total wire run of 500 ft is equivalent to 1.5 ohms per 1000 ft. Wire tables show that a #10 cable should be used. A #12 cable would give a volt drop of 5.3% which would probably be acceptable for occasional use and easier to store.

Can the cord on an electric heater be lengthened?
Yes, but with a heavier gauge wire <<>> If the cord on an electric heater needs to be lengthened as a perminant feature then the whole cord should be replaced with a new cord of the same type and wire size. What this prevents is aquiring bad splice connections at the point the connection is made. Bad splice connections will create hot spots in the cable. If the lengthening of the cord is just a temporary fix, just use an extension cord. The extension cord should be the same wire size as the heater cord. Keep the extension cord under 20 feet in length.
