Will 30m/s chain speed help Greenworks Commercial 82CS34 chainsaw? Swapping rim sprocket drive spur

Will the larger diameter 8 tooth driver cut faster, or just spin the chain faster? 30 m/s on the Greenworks 20 inch

Hello, as always, you are doing great work. Increasing speed = reducing torque = less aggressive cutting. Instead of spiral stopper ring better to use C-type or E-type stopper ring, that would be faster and more convenient. And for cutting small trees and limbing you should try GS181 with bar and chain: length- 16", pitch- 3/8", gauge- .043", 56 links, this set will cut fast and easy.
Thank you very much!

Thank you! I use the 82CS24 for small stuff. I like the high chain speed and light weight! It uses the setup you just mentioned but has 25m/s instead of 21m/s. Not as much torque as the GS181 though.

When do we expect the H.O.G. to be out to the public?

[@reusefull]

The only hint of a clue that I've seen was fall... it would be pretty disappointing if it showed up for a 3rd time at the expo without being released!

[@John-cj3ve]

Fall is what I was told by Greenworks.

I'm still waiting on the sprocket I ordered, turns out it's shipping from China 🙄 I couldn't tell from the video if the larger sprocket will take up enough slack to fit an 80 link chain compared to the stock 78, what do you think?

[@reusefull]

I wouldn't think so, but 🤞

[@jean-marcbriane7283]

This is understandable, the larger the drive sprocket the faster the chain turns, but less torque.
I suppose you can do the same thing with the Ego CSX5000?👍

[@reusefull]

I can do that test, but in reverse. The CSX5000 comes with the 8 tooth. So I can make the top speed 25m/s instead of 30m/s

[@jean-marcbriane7283]

@@reusefull OK, there will be more torque.

[@reusefull]

@jean-marcbriane7283 agreed. I think the effect we might see is that the battery might overheat less after a number of cuts even if it was a little slower. I might try it at some point.

I've got a question that I think is apropos for this 'group': conspicuous by their absence; are any Greenworks 60v saws! They seem to be pretty proud of them. Are they THAT weak that they aren't worthy of consideration in your testing?
I see that the 82v saws can just keep up with the EGO's.
I was scrolling through UA-cam chainsaw videos; and a 60v one popped up. That's what made me think to ask.

[@reusefull]

@ToolHombre has a 60v Greenworks and some videos

@@reusefull thanks BUT!; I wanted YOUR opinion.
