Quiet but Powerful Chainsaw for the Mountains or t

Wow. I really like my new Greenworks PRO 60V 20” Chainsaw. The saw was very well packaged and was very easy to assemble in just a few minutes. The charging unit is appears to be very well designed and charges the battery in a relatively short period of time.
I had significant experience running powerful gas chain saws in the 1980s while operating a large commercial Maple Sugaring operation in Vermont. We had a 200-cord woodshed to fuel a wood-fired maple sap evaporator. So with that qualifier, I am impressed with the tremendous power and cutting speed of this battery-powered chainsaw. Its power-to-weigh ratio is impressive compared to the gas-powered units I have operated and I found its overall weight very easy to manage.
Now living in the suburbs of Pennsylvania my wife and neighbors welcome how quiet this unit is. I reminded myself to lock my left elbow for the hand holding the top handle as the torque is instantaneous and very powerful!
I felled a large tree at my daughter’s house and bucking up the large diameter trunk into blocks was a breeze. The shower of woodchips just poured into a big pile at my feet with every cut. The bar oil tank seems to last a good long time but I needed to remind myself to check it as I was not stopping to fill up a gas tank. I really like not having to mix gas with oil that I end up spilling trying to fill the little gas tanks on gas-powered saws. From an environmental standpoint if you need a super powerful chainsaw at the ready for your work or play this is overall a super choice.
I have included a few photos and a short video. I am very happy with this chainsaw.

Amazing Chainsaw!

I've just had the opportunity to put the Pro 60V 20" Brushless 3.0 kw chainsaw to use cutting up some fallen trees on my property. I was impressed with the ease of starting the chainsaw. I have to say the push button start is very nice and easy on my shoulders and back. This saw had an immense amount of power and more than I needed for this simple job. I know this saw is capable of doing a lot more. Plus, the 8.0 Ah battery and rapid charger make this saw even more worth it because the battery lasts longer and charges faster than I expected. Overall, I was very impressed with this chainsaw and would recommend it to anyone.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Effective, Powerful

Many issues
on January 7, 2023
Posted by: B Laubs

Gender:Male
I've had this saw for about a year, but it only worked for about the first month. When you tighten the chain it won't turn it. When you loosen the chain to the point it will turn, it is too loose and become spring from the bar. It is all so very frustrating.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from greenworkstools.comBy Greenworks, Customer Care, January 9, 2023
Hello B Laubs,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are not completely satisfied with your recent purchase. Chains stretch with use. When new, they stretch more. The tension on a new or newish chain should be checked and tightened every 20 minutes of cutting or so, it can get away from you fast. However, be sure to never tension a warm chain before storing as chains shrink when cooling and this can damage the chain, bar and saw. Please ensure that when you remove the side cover that the following parts are there and in order: sprocket (chain wheel), chain wheel washer and finally the c-lip. These parts are imperative when it comes to keeping the chain on.
If you still are experiencing issues with the chain, we would be happy to see how we can help! Please contact Greenworks contact Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934.

Performs like a pro

I have used chain saws for over 30 years and recently spent an afternoon comparing my new greenworks saw side-by-side with my pro model gas chain saw while cutting up a hardwood 18" diameter tree. The greenworks cut as quickly and easily through the most knotty and gnarly section of the butt end of the tree as my gas saw, and the 20" bar made limbing the top end easy. The greenworks was comfortable to operate as well, and I recommend an extra battery to have charged and ready in order to keep a steady pace when blocking up a pile of firewood.

This chainsaw works better than expected!

I am very please with my Greenworks Chainsaw. The battery lasts a long time and the power of the chainsaw was surprising. It is much quieter than a gas powered chainsaw and lighter as well. I was surprised how much power it has and easier cuts through trees and branches. I used this in my back yard to trim several trees. This is a great chainsaw .

Greenworks continues to impress!

This saw is outstanding! Very powerful, well designed and easy to use. I never thought I'd trust an electric chainsaw, but this saw incredibly impressive. I've used chainsaws for years, and every season you don't know what issues you'll face. With this, it "starts" and cuts every time. The 20" bar is plenty long enough to work through most sized logs I'll every have to cut. The battery life is impressive, I was able to cut 1/2 cord with this, and since I already own a couple other 60V batteries, I can basically cut all day. Very happy and very pleased with this saw!

Great Chainsaw! ...crap stock chain.

Hey friends! I bought this to replace my previous combustion engine chainsaw. I live in the Pacific Northwest and have to do a lot of tree maintenance, so having a solid chainsaw ready to go, particularly in winter, is an absolute must. This unit was absolutely top of my list as I'm already in the battery ecosystem with my riding mower. So far I am quite pleased with the unit, with one small caveat: the chain it comes with is absolute garbage. I had to prune some ornamental pear that had fallen after our first heavy snow, nothing crazy, and this chain made it *maybe* through 5-7 cuts before it was dull. I'll be swapping it out for an Oregon equivalent, and would suggest new purchasers probably should just do that right out of the box if you want any longevity in the sharpness of your tool. Happy cutting!
Pros: Quiet, Powerful
