frick you this is bullshit the knots were not properly accounted for! Im going to make a report with the better business bureau.

Love to see you put the 40 volt saws head to head wth the 220 and 300 Stihl saws. That would be a blockbuster 😊

Got the stihl 220 a couple years ago, also bought the xgt makita and its better for bigger stuff (think maybe same power, but slim chain makes makita much quicker there). But i don't like that makita shuts off after a couple seconds without being used

SAW OFF THE BIT OF PLASTIC TO FIT THE 8 ah battery! you know you want to! :D

Thank you for explaining the chain sizes, pitch, gauge, etc. I did not understand that when I bought my first chainsaw. I found that the price of replacement chains for cordless saws can vary significantly. I had the 18x2 saw, and Makita sold an optional bar that could take 0.050 chain. I could find those chains for under $8 each which was nice because I never had good luck sharpening these small chains by hand. Some of the less common chains are as much as $20 each, which is too much to just throw away when it gets dull. I sold the Makita and bought an Ego 18 inch, which is much more powerful, but not as well refined as the Makita. It doesn't have the electric brake that stops the chain when you release the trigger, and the oiler doesn't work well.

Oh boy what a treat :) great video and chainsaw looks great, doesn't lack power 😊

When they have a 80v 60cc equivalent I may finally get into the 40v system. But honestly, as a home-gamer my 36v is good for most things, just a bit slower, which is sometimes a good thing.

I’m in the US, but Makita USA has released .325 sprockets bars and chains for both the LXT and the XGT saws. Alternatively, you can buy the sprockets from Makita and then buy the Oregon Speedcut Nano bar and chain-(.325, .043)

Nice. I wish it would be easier to get the orange chainsaws or at least the orange shells

Great vid mate I like the top handle as well thanks for sharing

Makita: “Replaces gas!” Also Makita: “Each chainsaw wants a totally different battery.”

Any updates in regards to Makita making an 80V model?

Been waiting for this one, probably try and get an orange one but could be a challenge, another thought is will it work with the backpack battery, cable might be annoying but plenty of run time.

makita when designing this chainsaw: we're gonna make the 8 amp battery not fit and piss a bunch of people off

So power/weight efficiency is tophandle + 4040f

The difference betweent both 40V rear handle saws vs the 18x2 reae handle is incredible. I have the 18x2 and loce it, but this video makes me somewhat oong for the 40v, but i dont use my 18x2 chainsaw enough to warrant it.

The professional style or us old people DIYers chain tensioner is what I prefer….lol! My old eyes may be playing tricks on me but is that a Lego Wolverine claw in the background? Sorry for the off topic but I’m a big kid…lol!

I wonder whether the power-off timeout can be changed? Just thinking about how some tools can have their settings saved in the batteries - I wonder whether Makita had the foresight to allow things like the timeout to be set there too.

Wonder how the pro 40V saw compares in power to the corded Makita saws? Certainly a cordless chainsaw is super handy since you don't often have power nearby where you need a chainsaw...

the power button on my 40v shuts off almost instantly. Bummer as all else is very good. Would still like to know if the version 2.0 of the 18v with the shorty bar is worth upgrading over version 1.0

Do you know if they would ever come out with a 216mm Circular saw? or any Manufacturer for that matter. a 216mm Rear handle saw would be just perfect

Do I need one no am I getting one yes 😂

This is why I have a top handle short bar with zero trees/fireplace or anything at all on my property to cut. I break it out just to demo old lumber for fun. 😂

Metal chain adjustment, vs plastic chain adjustment, should be a no brainer.

That too-short timeout on the LXTx2 saw was addressed (at least here in the usa), people complained and Makita made it much longer. My xcu03 bought in 2019 has a longer timeout, my neighbor's bought in 2018 has the short timeout.

Who cares how long the bahh is, it is how you feel.

Can the sprockets be moved between saws? Just wonder whether that would allow the same bar and chain to be used on all of them for a more direct comparison and for wider selection of chains. Mine says in the manual you can get a different sprocket for it if you want to use a different type of chain but I wonder if they are all compatible across the range?

You can swap out the 40v drive wheels, but the 18v and 18v x 2 are different again.

In Makita Singapore there is a chart for chain-bar-sprocket with parts numbers, a 3/8lp is available for xgt saws, so you can put the 36v chain and bar on the xgt but as I know there is no sprocket available to fit the xgt barcand chain on the 36v.

Probably the best battery chainsaw lineup on the market. And the big boy maybe even the best you can buy. Yes I've tested the big Stihl but the battery management and batteries are just not as good as Makita ones are. Not even close.

Hi, please how much difference in performance there is between 4ah normal and 5 or 8ah batteries on the big boy chainsaw? Does it worth the very expensive price of the batteries or can just stick cheaper standard 4ah batteries? Thank you!

@vink6163

27 күн бұрын

The F batteries deliver more current so the saw has more power and won't stall as easily. If you already have a normal 4 Ah battery just use that and if you find it stalling too easily when you're using it then you can get a higher current F battery. I'm also guessing the non-F batteries will go flat faster as well, because working a battery too hard makes it behave like it is a smaller capacity battery. If you're only cutting small things occasionally with time for the battery to cool in between uses then you might find the 4 Ah one is fine. I have 5 Ah ones for the "big boy" saw and even though they are F batteries they get *hot* after cutting through large tree trunks so even the F batteries get worked very hard.

Why 40v? 80v would be better

I’m willing to bet that they can’t fit the bigger battery on most of them because it would overheat with the size of the motor housing.

I'll stick with professional gas chainsaws. I don't have time to play with battery nonsense.
