But are you using them seriously? Every day all day to make money? I think it will be a while before you see fallers with electric, but electric top handles are amazing for climbing.

@@SlimPickins_07I am. Have tens of thousands of dollars into Ego equipment. Good investment that pays for itself over time. For good runtime though, you need a Backpack Link and 12Ah batteries.

Thank you!!

I am mostly in the Greenworks 80/82 volt lineup, but the tools are fairly similar... the chainsaw is what first got me started on cordless tools. I love my husky 372xp, but the ease of most of this battery stuff is what sold me. We'll see what happens when it starts to break, but hopefully I'm years away from that. One of the things I like about Ego is parts availability.

I agree about the weight of the saw. It reminds me of my Stihl 075 with a 42" bar I had in my younger years.

I agree as well, and it will be even heavier with the appropriate battery, just like the Greenworks.

I have to think they did, they just don't want to share info that doesn't look attractive.

Interesting. As far as I can tell, it's identical to the Oregon guide bar, so this would probably work as well. I'm going to do some chain comparisons eventually.

I've had mixed success with a perspective camera, but I'll give it a shot!

I would have to look at the alignment again, but that sounds reasonable. At least opening the hole in the direction of the oiling, depending on how you are making it bigger.

I realized that after I sent the comment. Just as likely have to take a Dremel and pointed carbide bit; and elongate the oil channel in the direction of the oil port on the body.

​@@reusefullwe're/you're so close; just a finishing touch here and there.

The 365/372 is a pro saw as far as I know (mine is a 372xp). You would be looking to match a 455 or 460 rancher guide bar if looking on Amazon. Tailstock isn't often listed there.

Thx. I'll get right on it.

@John-cj3ve sorry if I didn't communicate that correctly earlier.

New territory for all of us. I don't know if I would have attempted it without your constant courteous help.

​@@reusefullI just ordered the Oregon bar for the 455 460.

Depends on the battery, I'm putting together a comparison between the 2 saws. If I run a 5ah battery hard I'll still overheat it on the Greenworks, but not as quickly I don't think. I'm not even going to test a 4ah, because it's not enough.

Man your videos are awesome!

@@bradleybrown7801 Thank you!

I have the ego cs1600 the newer model one how hard do you think itd be to put a 20 inch bar on it

@bradleybrown7801 not sure without looking. You have to match the tailstock to get it to mount and oil properly. If you go on the Oregon website under guide bars, you should be able to match it up. They give pictures and measurements for all the styles they make. Make sure that the guide bar is the same pitch as the drive spur/sprocket. At 20 inches, you can probably get .325 or 3/8 bar to match what is already on the saw. Once you go above 20 inch 3/8 or bigger, but I definitely wouldn't try to go above 20 with the 16 inch saw.

Let me know if you need anymore detail than what's in the description. I got the sprocket on Amazon. I think you can pay around with sprockets that have larger or smaller outside diameters which will effect output speed and torque inversely according to size... larger diameter sprocket is faster but less torque.

@@reusefull I've never had occasion to change the sprocket on a chainsaw. Idk what's involved. Please explain.

@@John-cj3ve I'm working on editing the video, I should have it published later tonight

​@@reusefullThx!

I had to edit the above comment. It was supposed to read name; NOT same. Doggone predictive text!

I really think it's all about the weight. To run a big bar, you need a big battery and no one wants to advertise a 25lb chainsaw unless it's able to keep up with a 100cc plus gas equivalent.

​@@reusefullI just looked at it from the perspective of; I give up; it's already heavy. What's a couple extra pounds? You don't really notice the weight THAT much anyway; once the bar is buried in the wood.

@John-cj3ve it doesn't bother me to much either. I have an 82CS24 that I run for smaller stuff and that's pretty light... I think about 13 or 14 pounds ready to cut.

I did, but I got it on Ebay with a charger for $300, I'll sell the extra charger to try and offset the cost.

I guess I'll have to start surfing ebay!​@@reusefull

@@John-cj3ve 👍😂

I would bet my 40v makita with a 18” could cut that log faster…. I had an ego 18” and it sucked. Threw a chain so hard it lodged in the sprocket cover

​@ErinHenderson-lp7ep that's interesting. I have two EGO CS1800's and I have cut up 20" logs with them with no problem.

@@ErinHenderson-lp7ep My experience is the literal opposite. My dad's Makita bogs down INSTANTLY, kind of absurdly easy, my Ego is the opposite.

It depends on the application, but I agree that a 372xp and a couple gallons of mixed gas will cut an awful lot of wood.

Maybe, but the Ego battery seems to drop more voltage than the 60v did. I measured 51.6v across the terminals with 3 of the 5 lights lit on the "fuel gauge". I'm thinking 13 or 14, but I don't really know. Like I said, I'll have to do more investigating. "Slightly less dishonest" is hilarious 👍

The 60V Greenworks UltraPower is the only one that won't stall when I use it with a 20" bar. I don't know if it is just the cells, or if it's wiring and boards or some other guts in the batteries they upgraded to let it run hotter longer without stalling. Point being that 54V is not always the same even intra-platform. Cheers.

@@ToolHombre I think it's both the 8ah battery and the design. I'm guessing here, but I think because the 60v came out after the 82v, there are a couple of programming tweaks. The 82v doesn't stall nearly as easily with an 8ah battery as it does with a 4 or even a 5ah, but it's pretty heavy with that setup.

@@ToolHombre That's odd, because it's Chervon---maker of Ego, Flex, and Skil---that claims to have the best cooling technology, basically a slim jacket around each series of cells that liquefies to shed heat. I say this as a fanboy of both Skil PWRCore 12 and Greenworks 60V; I own the Greenworks 60V X-Range 18-inch chainsaw, which is a rewired Greenworks Commercial 82V GS-181 (2.5 kilowatts). I use Greenworks' X-Range batteries, which have better electronics, cells, and ruggedness than the standard Greenworks 60V batteries. I've never stalled an X-Range battery---5AH or 2.5AH. I don't own any 8AHs.

@@PaulStregevsky Yes Chervon is another company with some marketing material about their cooling being the best same as everyone else and then their 8Ah overheated. And apparently R.U. heard this happens. And the voltage drop was greater on the 'best cooling' EGO. ???? All I said was the 8Ah Ultrapower doesn't stall and the 'base' 60V batteries do. I haven't tried X-range but it's the same point that they re-wire some of them differently even across GW. Glad to hear there is something smaller than 8Ah in the 60V line they have upgraded. Cheers.
