i have one its a great saw. it can manage (barely) 15 inch maple but with the 4 amp hour battery you will get 3 cuts max. just FYI. you will cut 2-3 times as much soft stuff like pine. it zips through 3-4 inch stuff with ease. dont expect to attach this to a chainsaw mill and cut up 4-8 foot logs even with the 6 amp battery. its not gonna happen.

[@GPOutdoors]

Morning Daniel. Thanks for sharing the experience. Super helpful for folks to know. Yes, definitely its designed for limbing and the smaller diameter stuff. Thanks again - have a great week out there!

[@pinarellolimoncello]

I know Maple is extremely hard but that Maths does'nt add up with the above performance, lets see a video of such a dismal performance so we know its for real.

[@henryrodgers3409]

Great video Gord . That look like a very good saw you have there . I'm impressed . Glad to see that you're getting some recognition from some manufactures and they are sending you things to try out . That would be a perfect saw for small projects in building things and camping trips . Now you only need a spare battery . I can see that the saw will give other manufactures a run for the money . Glad to see that you're using the Big Tool Rack . Of all the guys that got one to use you're the only one that actually uses it . Good for you Gord . Good to see that Guy is helping you out . It sure makes cutting those rounds a lot easier and faster . Take care .

[@GPOutdoors]

Morning Henry! Thanks so much. I have been very fortunate, for sure. Great subscribers too. :)) Love the BTR - It's like having a trunk and at 300 lbs, makes for good ballast for most of the things I need to do. This saw worked well. First time ever using one. It's takes some getting used to. When you let go of the trigger, it just stops - No sound. No idling gas saw. Kind of funny the first few times. LOL. Hope you enjoyed the weekend - be well and all the best Henry!

[@chriswilkinson3440]

I bought one on the strength of this clip and it is fantastic. Processed several ash trees with it, up to 12 inch dia. Sliced through em.

Pretty impressive run time GP. I'm not completely sold on the battery saw but, i can definitely see the usefulness/ purpose of having one. Living out in the country I've been stranded at times by fallen trees and had to make detours, I've been in situations where I would've loved to had this chaisaw. That was a good review. Thanks GP.

[@GPOutdoors]

Good morning Dean! Yes, I was a little skeptical about them too - had looked at them a few times in the past, but this would make a good truck saw, as LTD mentioned above. No need for gasoline in the truck - just throw it in the back and keep it there. Take care my friend and all the best!

How much does a wait weigh?

[@shaunflynn]

Hi Gord, I have an e-saw..it is a Greenworks 80V, 2Ah with 18"bar, and with the battery it weighs 13.7 lbs. I love theis saw, I have a spare battery so when I do go to cut it seems to last forever..I get worn out before the saw! The pro I see with the Oregon vs my Greenworks is the self-sharpening ability...wish mine had that feature! BTW, I really enjoy your postings...fun and informative. I do find it hard to curb my jealousy though, over all the tools you have including that great Kubota...lol!!!

[@GPOutdoors]

Good morning and thanks for the kind comments Shaun. Happy you enjoy them. LOL. Most of the equipment has been loaned to me, but I do very much enjoy getting to try them out. Have a wonderful weekend and all the best!

Good day LTD! I was thinking the same thing. Back of the cab. No need to carry gasoline in the truck. Next time I drive in and come upon a blow down, just have to grab it and go. Great idea. Cheers!

[@i1rgt001]

Thanks for the video Gord. I will now have to look into a battery-operated chainsaw. Last year I switched from gas to battery for my push mower. Love the easy starts, less maintenance, and the comfort knowing there are fewer moving parts in an electric motor than in a gas motor. One downside is that you have to avoid the rain. I will keep my loud Stihl for the big stuff.

[@GPOutdoors]

Morning Ron! Happy you enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to using it over the summer to see how it performs. Nice saw for the smaller stuff for sure, I think. Light and easy to use. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

[@charleschapman2428]

Nice saw, sorry if I missed the size battery you were using. I see on their website that the runtime is about the same for all battery size.

Morning Charlie! This one was the 6.0AH battery. Hope all is going well! Cheers!

[@patricknesbit2334]

Nice. I love quieter things. I use a Husqvarna 455e rancher it is noisy, smokey, and quite the gas hog. Kinda heavy too. I was wondering what you were using to mark the wood lengths. My method is much more work intense and slow. It involves using a precisely measured stick and a wood scribe. Your method looks so much easier and much quicker. Always looking for ways to improve my skills and up my productivity. Thanks for the demo and may you and yours have a most excellent day!

[@GPOutdoors]

Good evening Patrick. Thanks for tuning in! The marker is a Mingo Marker, manufactured in the USA. Simple, but works and is accurate. We have been using one for years here. ts the only thing we use to mar our lengths. Thanks for the comment tonight! Cheers!

Morning and great to hear from you Michael! Yes, they are becoming more and more popular over here. Great for smaller logs and limbing. Battery technology is getting better all the time. Hope you and your family are keeping well. Take care and all the best!

[@tomoaktree4951]

Hi GP! Great Saw! Looks more than capable of cutting logs of any reasonable size. When I was considering a battery saw, I looked at the class of saw that the Oregon belongs in. High voltage, and high current batteries. I think you are really going to enjoy using it. A word of caution though as safety chaps struggle with electric saws and can often times cut through them, due to the continuous high torque when running. When a gas saw hits safety chaps, it will pull the RPM down and take the saw out of it's high torque curve and will stall the engine. Not so with an electric saw. I really wanted to get one, but there were a few of reasons why I didn't go that route. The first, is that I already have gas saws in this capacity, (Stihl MS261). The second was that I was looking for a lightweight, quick to grab, occasional use saw. And third, and most importantly, I wanted to use the current batteries that are in my DeWalt tools. I hope you are enjoying the nice weather! Take Care, Tom

[@GPOutdoors]

Good evening Tom. Thanks for the comments and sharing your experience. And thanks for the great advice on the chaps. Will be careful as always. I enjoyed trying it out - will use it over the summer and see how it performs over the longer term. Take good care and all the best!

[@peacefieldfarm_mn]

Hi GP! You're not going to believe this, but just before I watched your video, I purchased an electric chain saw from B&D. I went with them because I have several other of their battery powered products and even though they are years old, the are still working great, and I can swap batteries! The self sharpening feature is very special, though. Have a great week, Gord. Thanks for the review. Good to see Guy again. Cheers!

[@ronalddean4834]

Hi G.P., that is definitely a in town homeowners saw. The self sharpening attachment looks good and it's quiet. It looks great for working around the yard and smaller firewood and tree pruning, but my question is I wonder when they will put the sharpener on a gas saw or have they already? Great video thanks for the update.

[@GPOutdoors]

Morning Ronald. I think so too - and good for the back of the truck. I know that they make a bar-mounted sharpener for small and medium saws, from what I understand. Happy you enjoyed it. Have a good one!

LOL. Morning D! I ended up moving it and put it in the old green trailer on the left side there. :)) Cheers and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

[@eosjoe565]

I wish you would have shown more information about how the chain sharpener mechanism works as that is really the only thing that differentiates this saw from every other battery powered saw out there. I'm curious how it sharpens the cutting teeth since the chain seems to move longitudinally through the sharpening material where every other chain sharpener moves laterally across the chain (albeit it a specific angle). Also curious how it handles keeping the height of the rakers in check.

[@d.a.ballou9740]

EOSJOE: I was thinking the same thing. In other words as Buckin' Billy Ray would say, how does it get the gullet?! lol

[@GPOutdoors]

Morning Joe! Great question - I asked the same thing. The chain is designed as a "top Sharp" chain, they call it. It sharpens the top of the teeth only and does not need to address the rakes. I believe there is a video on their website that shows it. I didn't want to run it with the guard off (safety for me). Thanks for the great question - have a great weekend Joe!

[@howard5567]

GP, I still have an corded electric Echo self-sharpening 16" from three year-ago. I had to replace the chain within three months, because how good it sharpens. Needless to say it no-longer sharpens itself, I do with a rat tail file. I do now have a Stihl MSA 200c-b 14", a bit pricey but that goes with the name. I do hope that things have improved in three years. O where we buck up rounds, we use a Black & Decker 21.5 amp 16" chainsaw also with a 25 ft 14 gauge power cord. the best part is it does not drowned out the Bose sound system. I maybe 63, but i still Rock & Roll.

[@sherpa972]

GP Outdoors Thanks for asking, too bad these cordless tool manufacturers could not agree to a standard battery so the consumer could purchase different brands instead of being vendor locked. The batteries and chargers play such an important part of the cordless tool industry. Common fuel approach like gasoline.

[@GPOutdoors]

That's a great point Sherpa. Hopefully they will standardize one day. Cheers!

[@Bigtoolrack]

[@GPOutdoors]

[@Alan_Hans__]

That chainsaw looks pretty cool. I'm interested in how long a chain lasts as far as how much it will cut per sharpen and how many sharpens you'll get out of it. You need to grab or make yourself something like the Timbercroc. The log lift is handy but if you have wood that you can handle by yourself or with someone else assisting then a holder like the Timbercroc will make bucking wood so much easier. I use mine for bucking direct into a wheelbarrow a lot of the time and it's easier picking up 1 log once rather than 4-10 blocks.

[@GPOutdoors]

Good day Alan. Me too - I will use it throughout the summer and will do a followup video after some time with it. But thanks - I will try to keep an eye on those elements too, now. I just looked at a Timbercroc - never heard of it before but I see what you mean. Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!

[@DIYMyWay]

Hi Gord! Glad to see you trying out a battery powered chainsaw! Looks like is has good battery life. However, I’m skeptical of the built in sharpener. Grinding down the top of the chain is not how most sharpeners work and seems like ultimately it will reduce the useable life of the blade. My Greenworks 40V chainsaw is still going strong and after two years, the battery life is still excellent. I wasn’t sure a battery-powered saw would meet my needs but I have been very pleased with it. I having cut down and cut up trees as big as 20 inches, which I thought it couldn’t possibly do. Mind you, I don’t think it was designed for that, but it does it when I need it to. BTW, I noticed you had plenty of bugs video bombing your camera shots. ‘Tis the season. Thanks for sharing!

[@GPOutdoors]

Good day Martin! Yes I am quite impressed by it, too. The chain is actually not a regular chain - it is a top sharpen chain - the rakes don't need to be filed on it. Oregon technology. Hope you are keeping well my friend! It must be getting hot in Georgia. Be well and all the best!

Does the self sharpener sharpen the cutter and also lower the raker or do you need to use a file on the raker? Thanks for all of the instructional videos.

Morning Needinfo. I checked into - the chain is a top sharpening chain and this technology does not require the rakes to be filed - just the cutters. Seemed to work so far ok and I will see how it goes over the coming period as I wear the chain down. I'll let you folks know. Cheers!

[@houndsmanone4563]

GP, that Oregon battery operated chainsaw seems to be a little dynamo. I think you stopped cutting several times to sharpen the blade. At that time, I saw chips shooting out the front of the chainsaw. Is that what I was observing? Thanks for demonstrating this chainsaw. Look forward to your assessment as to how worthy and reliable it is. 13 pounds sounds dang sweet. I could do that...all...day...long.

I'm a Makita Nazi myself, but I believe the new lithium battery powered handtools are finally ready for prime time. Gas powered OPE is a hassle to maintain (I've replaced two carburetors this year do to last year's gas going bad). So far, I've determined my electric saw has an effective capacity of 8" logs. It can handle larger, but then you reduce the number of cuts pretty dramatically. Makita doesn't have the self sharpening (yet), but I embrace the break provided by sharpening the chain myself. The Husqvarna won't become homeless, but will be reserved for the really big manly logs and felling.

[@GPOutdoors]

Good day C! Thanks for sharing your thoughts - I think so too. This lithium Ion tech has changed the game alot. My older battery operated garden tools were terrible so I was a little hesitant to buy a Huskie hedge trimmer last year (battery operated) but has been excellent so far - very happy with the power and the life of the battery before charging. Same thing here - got me just under a face cord of pole wood on a single charge - I think that is pretty good. Thanks again - be well and all the best!

Hi Gord. That's a neat little saw. I couldn't get used to the sound of it, it seemed unnatural. The downside of not being fas is that you have to keep an eye on the bar oil level.

I saw those pesky black flies swarming in front of the camera too. Have a great weekend.

CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE VIDEO.

[@GPOutdoors]

Good morning Edson. Thanks for the comment this morning. I am not sure what size battery you have - I was using the 6.0AH battery but I know the saw comes with different size batteries - the 6.0 AH battery or the smaller 4.0 AH or 2.6 AH battery, which would , I think have less energy. I might suggest that If you think the battery is not working well, that maybe I would take it back to where you purchased it to find out if they can test it to see if something is not working properly. Also, if the chain is not sharp, it will greatly affect the run time too. I know that it is best to keep the chain sharp and when cutting, don't push the saw through the log , allow the chain to cut through under it's own power. I hope some of those things are helpful. Good luck and thanks very much for watching my video. Cheers!

You look good in orange. Ogegon couldn't have you wearing your usual Stihl garb. Always good to hear Guy is OK. Al Lumnah had a Harbor Freight electric. Ran pretty much like you would expect (POS). Take care

[@GPOutdoors]

LOL. Good day David. I will let him know you sent your wishes. Yup and they are bright!. :)) Cheers and all the best!

[@lowercherty]

Which battery was that? The 2, 4, or 6 amp hour?

[@GPOutdoors]

Morning B! It was the 6.0 AH battery. Took about 2 hours to charge from empty. Cheers!

[@loganmohr2215]

Electric motors will eventually become the norm as batteries increase in storage and life-cycle. I notice they actually sell replacement parts for the chainsaw which is nice. Its not a throw away device if something breaks like most electric products. I also notice three different sized batteries for the device. One question I have which I cant seem to find is do they not recommend operating the electric chainsaw in the rain? or is it weatherproof? Just curious if they have some safety sticker or notice on the product or packaging.

[@GPOutdoors]

Good morning Logan. Thanks for the great comments. I believe they told me it is similar to any other saw - can certainly handle a little rain here and there, but it's not waterproof, so to speak. Thanks again - have a great weekend!

[@gettintheresafelywithpatf2869]

Hello Gord, how long until you really put it to the test, and also how expensive is the cost of this saw, and how much are the replacement batteries. This question stems from the use of battery pack tools. Each of my 18 volt tool kits have lasted about 14 months before needing new batteries, and each 18 volt lithium ion battery costs between 45 and one hundred dollars depending on amp hrs. Now just think that I have 12 batteries, @ about 12 months old, and needing replacement the cost of each, is no small chunk of change. So how often do you think that this battery will last, then what about the service life of the saw, I don’t think the cost of it will be low enough for somebody to think of it as disposable either... unless they have really deep pockets!

[@GPOutdoors]

Good morning Pat. Some great questions. You and Guy are alike. He has a host of those 18V ones too - all lined up in his shop. Good questions. I'll use it over the summer and will do a followup on it to see how it's been. Thanks again Pat. Take care and have a great week!

Oil flow problems with this saw. Always needs to be cleared as the sawdust blocks the oil feed.

[@sydnick6696]

Did you mention what Ah battery you used ? or did I miss it ?

[@GPOutdoors]

Hi Sydnick. Sorry I don't think I did. It was the 6.0 AH battery. it took about 2 + hours to charge it. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

[@HOCKEYRULES19971]

WEL DONE THANKS FOR SHARING . FIND RUN TIME 3 TIMES LONGER THAN GAS FILL . I HAVE TO WATCH CHAIN OIL FILL . USE GRAPPLE OR INVERTED LOG SPLITTER TO HOLD WOOD UP . BE SFE GOD BLESS .

[@GPOutdoors]

Thanks so much George! Great idea. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

[@C_J_81]

I was thinking during a recent past video... I wonder when GP will try out an electric chainsaw.... They really seem to be competitive with gas now.

[@GPOutdoors]

LOL! You are seeing the future Chad! LOL. Cheers and all the best!

[@1d1hamby]

You do know those self sharpening chainsaws have been around for 50 years. You can buy a special bar and chain that converts most saws to one.

[@GPOutdoors]

I didn't know actually. I know that Oregon has a bar-mounted one that can be put on a small to medium gas saw. Thanks D!

[@knowhereman1]

2:31 That's what she said.

[@williamhustonrn6160]

Good Review GP, but please be careful with the sharpening feature. I have one of Oregon's Powersharp kits that I tried on my Stihl saw, you push the tip of the saw into something to activate the sharpening. I did it while halfway through cutting up a dead tree that fell and the sparks lit the sawdust on fire, throwing up knee high flames before I was able to put the fire out by kicking sand on the fire..

[@GPOutdoors]

Morning William. Thanks for the suggestion. Wow. That surprises me. Such little wee sparks and they barely exited past the housing. I just might test that out in a future video. Thanks again - hope you are keeping well. Going to give that stump bucket idea you gave me, a try next week. Fingers crossed. LOL. Thanks again!

[@tractorman4461]

I was expecting it to perform pretty good to begin with because of all the videos Martin from DIY My Way has put up with his Greenworks battery saw. I gotta admit the saws are impressive for what they are designed for. Nice video. The low decible level would be great as a side benefit too. Santa....are you watching GP's video's... he provides loads of suggestions. Just sayin'.... (-:

[@GPOutdoors]

LOL. Santa's always watching. He knows when you have been good but also knows when..... LOL. Cheers T!

[@markjones4090]

I'm impressed by that saw and I really like the self sharpening feature. I'd like to see you cut a tree down with it.

[@GPOutdoors]

Morning Mark! I'll put that on the list. I'd like to try it too. Hope all is well. Cheers!

[@danielpadgett2831]

It weighs more than my stihl ms 271

[@122276mjs]

I have a Milwaukee electric chainsaw. I’ll never go back to gas again unless it’s a huge tree that is too big for the Milwaukee

[@GPOutdoors]

Good stuff. Thanks MSG!

[@everettware3466]

Has anyone used it on a utility pole?

[@suewilson2452]

You didn't address the sharpener on chain saw,!

[@pwleppa]

It could save some energy if the saw had a shorter bar like 12 or 13 inches. 16 inch bar is way too long for this power category.

[@GPOutdoors]

Morning PW. Interesting thought. I will ask them about it soon. Thanks again! Cheers!

[@skeets6060]

The self sharpening thingie is not a new idea,, SEARS had something very much like this on some of their Craftsman chain saws,, it did last very long as it was very hard on chains, I guess if they want to sell more chains it is a good idea

[@GPOutdoors]

Good morning Skeets. Thanks for the comment. Yes, apparently it was Oregon that made them for Sears. I spoke to the guy there and he said this is a completely new and different design from what they had back then. Designed from scratch. Interesting info - I didn't know that before. Thanks and all the best!

[@damnkids7192]

I'll stick with my gas power saws. Simply because I know they will outlive me.

[@victorgillen2439]

307....then skip to 448

[@valeriodesantis9881]

questo sharpening da una affilatura da dilettanti come è da dilettanti una motosega a batteria

[@jonathanbenoit8828]

Cuts good,but that's a ugly color.for a chain saw.

[@GPOutdoors]

LOL. Cheers Jonathan!

[@bill-nj6fc]
