Can a Cordless Chainsaw Really Slab Lumber? Testing Kobalt/Greenworks 80V

[Non-sponsored video]
In this video I try out the Kobalt 80V cordless chainsaw (made by Greenworks) with the Beam Machine to slab a 6" x 6" beam. I'm using an 18" Oregon bar and Archer rip cutting chain with 2.5AH and 5AH batteries.

As 0f July 2024 you can still order 80 volt Kobalt Chainsaw through LOWES online. I'm even looking at replacing the 18" with the Oregon 20" bar and chain for my KOBALT 80 volt chainsaw. I have (2) Kobalt 80-volt 18" Bar Chainsaws and use (2) 5 AH Batteries. I’m 79 and love NO more having to pull a cord to start a gas-powered chainsaw. My first 80-volt 18" Bar Chain saw with a 5-AH Battery and charger was $400 in Jul 2021. - I use them on our Southeast LA farm of 18 acres of tall large pine trees that were devastated by a Hurricane and tornado. On 10 acres of the property, nearly all the trees are down or dead. My chainsaws have been working great and cutting huge logs and trees and logs up to 20"+ and it works great. I also use the 80-volt 10” Pole saw, lawnmower, and Leaf Blower.

Thanks for the video. Any chance you've found a solid bar that works on the greenworks/kobalt 80V chainsaws?

No, I haven't.
