Just so you know, this new big Ego isn't the only heavy, powerful battery saw you can buy, the Greenworks Commercial 82CS34 has been out for 2 years now, I've had mine for a year, and it's awesome. Early comparisons of these 2 saws show the Ego is slightly more powerful (and slightly more heavy) than the Greenworks, but chosing between them, for many people, will come down to which battery platform you are already on (or want to adopt).
Thanks for that info I also saw that EGO and Greenworks has an actual commercial 20” saw I would love to try to get them together and do a comparison
@@WilliamsonRidge The guy on the RUclips channel "Reuseful" has lots of direct comparisons between the Greenworks, Ego, and common gas saws like Stihl and Husky
I am very empress with Ego produces. I have a blower, chainsaw and snowblower. Their customer service is excellent also.
I've done plenty of bucking after dark with Ego's earlier 18" saw - it's been super handy, and didn't feel at all dangerous. I guess it depends on what you're cutting, but big logs on the ground, not branches in the air, seem pretty safe to cut, and the saw puts out plenty of light. I have used it as a portable battery-powered light in a pinch a couple times too. Taking the bar off allows even more light to be cast and it's great when you need to get down into a dark crawlspace and don't have another light handy. I love this feature! Looking forward to putting the new 20" to work! I burned out the motor on my 18" twice (with pretty heavy usage), so I'm hoping this one holds up better. Ego warranty replacement has been great, though.
Pro tip - if you have a big job, get an Ego Backpack Link and use 12Ah batteries with that. The tool becomes a lot lighter with the battery weight on your back and lasts longer, although in some situations it's safer not to have the cable to worry about. With this configuration I can saw continually for hours without my arms getting tired/sore. I really love the flexibility of this option and use the Backpack Link with several Ego tools.
I bought one of these last month, live in a very rural area and use this thing every weekend. I use the 5ah battery instead of the 6, this this tears through the tough stuff. I had a 24in White Oak tree that fell and it made the job just plain easy. Very happy though I do wish I would have spent the extra cash for the battery/charger kit. The 5ah works but it acts odd.
Great review and really informative stuff,spot on 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Awesome review, that looks like a great saw. Thanks
Thanks 👍
Just FYI, most these batteries come with like half charge, so these things will last way longer on a fully charged battery.
I fully charged it before using
I THINK I WANT ONE
I am really happy with it, and have another video coming using the saw with two batteries switching back and forth, and working for 5 1/2 hauling a huge amount of wood into the wood yard
That's impressive performance! It may be as good or even better than my 18'' Echo 56V battery powered DSC 5000
I have a DCS 5000 and love it, I plan on trying to put together a comparison.
@@WilliamsonRidge Great idea!
How much does it weigh with the battery? I see the site says 8.7lbs wihtout the battery.
Yeah, love my Echo too. However, the oiler isnt working after just a few uses. It's been thoughly cleaned several times but I cant seem to get the oiler to work. How 'bout yours?
FWIW this saw (Ego CSX5007) claims to be a 3.5 kW motor. The Echo DSC 5000 is, I believe, closer to 2.1 kW. Now, a bigger motor isn't necessarily "better" since a smaller motor runs longer, but there is no question that this new Ego is (as of right now) the most powerful battery saw you can buy.
@@BenDiscoe Intersting. Thanks for the info
Would really love to see this. I have the echo. Thinking about getting the ego
Have you seen the new dewalt 60v top handle? It’s pretty nice I got one for limbing and dropping small trees and it works really well actually which surprised me as I really liked the Milwaukee top handle but I’m convinced it Eats batteries like for real they’re good saws as far as cutting goes but the current it pulls is hard on the batteries so make sure you use packs under warranty.
Nice video tho thanks for sharing
No I haven’t seen that, but sounds very interesting, I’ve been thinking about a top handle. Thanks for watching!
With 1 battery you could be loading up and stacking wood, grab a bite and some water while battery charges then start cutting again.
I have this saw. I got it to buck a large hard maple that I got from a local tree service. Great power, but the chain does not last. I can’t rule out that I simply don’t know how to use a chainsaw or sharpen a chain, but I was disappointed. I have since ordered 3 additional chains just so I can get the job done and clean up my yard. I hope I can learn to use it properly soon.
Yeah I haven’t had any chain problems, In fact I was thinking it seemed like it lasted really good, a couple things to watch out for is making sure you don’t hit the ground when sawing, just a quick dip in the dirt will dull a chain, or if you have dirt on you logs it will really eat up a chain, if there is rot in the tree it will also eat up chains. Learning to sharpen a chain properly is a life saver, saves money on replacing chains and keeps your saw cutting like new, it just takes time to get good at doing stuff like that
The thing I found is the chainsaw light creates a shadow line for precision cuts
I get about 30 minutes of nonstop cutting before I swap. EGO is compatible with Oregon bar&chain, so I have 10 chains.
I don't cut wood often, so I sharpen the chains between uses. Just pay attention to the shreds coming out. When they go from noodles to tiny chips, your battery will thank you for a fresh chain.
@@TheDwightMamba has greenworks made a 20" 60cc equivalent chainsaw yet? The 20" one they have on amazon says its equivalent to a 50cc torque
@@philipdove1705 I only use Bosch, Milwaukee and EGO for cordless stuff. I have been running the 18" chainsaw for 3 years and I'm about to buy the 20" Pro.
I wonder you couldn't use an inverter on your tractor or truck battery to power the Ego battery charger while out in the woods. Carry a jumpstart pack in case it takes too much out of the starter battery but I doubt it will.
May be a good thing to try out
Add an Oregon chain with a Nice Grind, you will be really surprised. I have this saw😊
Thanks for the tip!
What specific chain fits this model?
When you said; "let's turn it up;" did you cut the rest of the log on high speed?
Yes
I wonder how the 12 hour battery would feel on that chainsaw
Probably heavy but it would last a long time
How much does it weigh with the 6 amp battery, bar, chain and full of oil?
Sorry it took so long to get back to you your comment disappeared, the battery saw full of oil weighs 19lbs 2oz
@@WilliamsonRidge Thank you!
What size battery was it? Did I miss that?
6AH
Soft wood lol
