I'm a contract climber myself, have a fire breathing ported 200t, 201TC, yadda yadda. They sit on the shelf now that I have the Milwaukee top handle saw. 2 years in and it's been absolutely flawless. I have ×2 12AH batteries and they are plenty for a days work. It DID replace my gas climbing saw. Took a bit to get used to, mainly trying to choke it or pull start it 😂 but yeah battery stuff is here and I'm here for it.

This is astonishing and it may very well be the best battery chainsaw on the market right now. The big issue is price...looking around $800 or more with batteries and high AH batteries. Way too much money for the average consumer/homeowner. If the company can get the price down to around $300- $400 with charger/batteries { which is the sweet spot for middle class consumers} , it could become 1 of the best selling battery saws of all time.

excellent test. on a greenworks v82 3.4 kw I also made 38 cuts of 16" birch with an 8ah battery 97% charged. The saw stopped at 5% charge. The chain is 0.325 chisel. Progress is being made, but very slowly. Not a single saw has reached the 4.3kw rating. We are waiting for a breakthrough - Milwaukee, greenworks, ego, stihl, huskvarna. My video on my channel.

Theres no doubt that this new saw is at the top of the heap as far as performance/power but the big issue is the price tag. It is too expensive for most homeonwers- middle class consumers and IMHO that is where the big chunk of the market is located. I think most consumers ideal saw would be 1 with at least 3 year warranty on saw./battery in a package deal that comes with 18 inch or less bar/chain, in the 2kw-3kw power range with at least a 5 AH battery / quick charger around $300. Once you go above that price/performance level, the saw becomes less deisreable for the average consumer. Now, if you want to only try and market to pro arborists, maybe the $800+ saws have some interest, but even then, pro arborist can buy a new gas chainsaw with same performance as the $800 battery saw, for only $300 and they do not have to worry about purchasing additional batteries that cost $200-$400 each.
@RootedArborists18 күн бұрын
We hear you. The market is definitely demanding more affordable solutions in the battery space, but I'm not sure which equivalent pro saw you can find around for just $300.
@davehimlin17 күн бұрын
@@RootedArborists Agreed...im not aware of a pro saw alternative that cost $300 that is equivalent to the millwauke saw which costs $800 + . But IMHO, many homeowners/middle class consumers will not be able to afford the millwauke and they therefore will settle for the $200-$300 saws, which wont have as much power as the millwauke, but will still do most jobs that homeowners will need done. For example, Greenworks offers several 16 inch-18 inch saws rated around the 2.5 KW power ranges that are equivalent to 45-50 cc gas saw , that also come with fast charger and battery for under $300 shipped. In fact, you can catch them on sale for holidays for around $229.00 . Yes, it will cut a bit slower then the $800+ millwauke, but for most consumers, they can accept a bit slower cutting speed/power, in return for spending $550 less money. All IMHO.

The main problem with battery is that a fuel tank on a gas saw only takes a couple seconds to refill, while batteries take a lot onger than that and you have to bring a charging station and have a place to plug in and then you need backup batteries if you're doing a lot of cutting which costs an additional $600.

I’m definitely going to pick one of these saws up. I bought the 16” only because I needed another 12ah battery and charger and it was only $80 more for the saw. I put the saw away for almost a year before I actually tried it. I love that little saw and find myself using it all the time. I never would have thought I’d find myself liking and using it so much as I lot of different modded gas saws. I even grab it over my ms-261 a lot of the time.
