We want the saw reviews! Not you talking and playing with your tracker!
Thanks for your input, it is valued greatly.
Thank you! I just bought the 80v Atlas ($149) with the "new" 4AH battery ($239 battery). Hopefully, this new design manages stress a little better
How do you like the bigger battery? Any overheating?
@@ChristIsMyRedeemer2024 the power is freakish and a little scary to be honest; lightsaber-like. I only used the saw and bigger battery long enough to deplete 1 energy bar from the battery (20 minutes of on/off sporadic cuts).
My only concern is with the recharging process: the fast charger ($89) continues to read it is charging the battery [loud fan running w/blinking indicator] indefinitely (several hours straight) until I interrupt the charging [detach the battery] and reattach the battery. Only THEN does the charger read fully charged and the fan stays off. Planning to exchange the charger this weekend for Atlas's standard charger. Hopefully, this resolves the issue
had I had to do it over again I would had bought gas saw over the Atlas, my Atlas 16" 40v may hold up 5 minutes after a full charge. Nothing wrong with saw, just batteries anit wourth a crap
Batteries are the only problem I’ve had evything Else seems great
@@WilliamsonRidge glad I bought two year warranty on saw and batteries, taking batteries back. Now in the beginning I was getting at least 30 min run a battery, now 5 minutes if I am lucky. The wood I was cutting the other day was 10 min max with gas saw, almost an all day thing with Atlas batters puking out after 5 minutes. Luckily I had sawsaz and ran it while batteries were charging.
Yeah I have some other brands of battery saws and don’t have any problems with batteries shutting off, they will run full charge to dead and never shut down. Echo and Milwaukee
I purchased an Oregon R56 AdvanceCut 16" -3/8"-.043. Fits the Atlas 40v 16" from Amazon , fits great, soaking it right now
Vnoch first, then make your cut . You are binding your saw blade ,when you do it in reverse.
Thx! Great videos!
Can you run the 80v chainsaw with the 40v battery? I already have the 40v pole saw but like the 2-inch longer bar of the 80v chainsaw. Was wondering if the 40v battery can run the 80v chainsaw. Thanks.
No the 40v will not run the 80v, however the 80v will run the 40v and it is double the capacity of the 40v so you get better runtime using the 80v in the 40v
My brand new atlas chainsaw pukes bar oil out the bottom. Took it apart, not hard just time consuming and kind of an annoyance, sealed everything up with a good rtv gasket sealant like the grommet and hose where the bar oil comes out of the tank. Still leaks. Kinda disappointing. Seems like a common thing with these electric saws no matter the brand
Almost all my saws leak,gas or battery, there’s probably some out there that don’t but it seems common with a vast majority, some leak a little and some leak a lot, it comes from the oiler itself where it feeds the bar, only way to minimize leakage would be to dump the oil out of the saws when finished using them
Is there a noticeable difference in power or performance or run time between the 40v and the 80v?
Yes the 80v is much more powerful but the run time is less because when using the 80v battery it’s only 2.5Ah, using the same battery in the 40v it is a 5ah so it does last a fair amount longer. If you use the 40v battery in the 40v saw it would probably be about the same runtime as the 80v
I was torn between electric and gas and when I saw Williansom's video and others I bought the Atlas 16" 40v. I knew I have to recharge batteries and in the beginning I got close to 30 minutes run time no big deal for me. Now batteries are down to 5 minutes and you balance the cost out over a gas saw against batteries, gas is better, down side of gas, noise and more maintenance.
Wildlife Recommended Saws...
So what saw in your opinion is better long term work?
Depends on your cutting needs but the 40v with the larger 80v battery will run longer and is a bit lighter and works great for the occasional trail clearing or limbing or cutting a smaller tree out of the yard type stuff, the 80v saw is strong and fast but for constant cutting tends to heat up the battery quickly. Overall I like the 40v the best
You only need a 3"-4" wedge 😂😂😂
Thanks for the videos.
Nice video!!
Nice
The 80V doesn't seem to really help you buck a good size tree consistently, The battery seems to be the "Achilles heel" for that chainsaw. You're don't pushing that particular chainsaw beyond its means, it should cut for you when you need it and not choose when it wants to runs. You keep your saws clean and maintained nicely, no fault on your end, just the battery isn't fully capable in the 80V chainsaw. You last video you bucked six logs and the battery overheated. I don't think its worth buying for medium to heavy duty tasks. Harbor Freight needs to re engineer the battery so it can perform correctly, small tasks its fine but relying on it when you really need it, its a no go at this point. Great Video! Keep the saw videos coming!
Are you cutting a live tree?
It’s dying. I choose this tree because the top was dying out and limbs were falling out of it.
@@WilliamsonRidge well I got the smaller Atlas chainsaw. I'm having a great time with it. Before I know it, got a nice pile of wood! Thx for your info too
Need trees oxygen we cut down all trees we done
Lol
Sooo I guess you wipe your ass with plastic?
