I glanced at this post briefly, because I just cut down some dead branches in some 9' shrubs, and shaped a tree that was overhanging the roof.
I did it with a corded, $49 electric chain saw, that I seldom use. Given the cost difference, and the fact that I would have to pause for 1 or 2 battery changes just to get this job done, I'll stick with what I have. It's even slicker to not spend an (unnecessary) dime.
Bottom line is get out there and enjoy it!
The first task (what I bought it for) was the top third of a poplar tree that came down in a storm last year. It was a 10' section of the upper trunk and several adjoining branches. It struck with such force that it was impaled into the ground and standing upright at a 45 degree angle. I couldn't budge it by hand. I wasn't counting, but I must have made at least 60 cuts with the Greenworks over the course of a half hour. I was very pleasantly surprised by how quickly and efficiently it processed that tree section. I ended with a stack of mostly 4-6" diameter wood about 4' long and maybe 3' high. The battery pack was still showing 2 bars when I was done.
I did end up buying a second (refurbished) 2.5AH battery direct from Greenworks (they hammer you with email promotions as soon as you complete the warranty registration). But I haven't needed it yet. The toughest job so far was a 12" diameter pine tree that fell across a local hiking trail. I only cut out the section that was directly across the trail, but I had to chop that in smaller sections light enough for me to carry off the trail. Those were much longer cuts (probably 20-30 seconds each) and still the battery was reading 3 of 4 bars remaining.
I don't doubt that 6 minutes total runtime could be entirely accurate. But given the nature of how the tool is used, for most home yard clearing tasks those 6 minutes are broken into 5-10 second bursts over the course of 15-30 minutes of work.
I'm never going to rip a 12' long log down the middle to make a bog bridge with this tool. But for backyard tasks and the occasional volunteer trail maintenance work, it's been quite the little trooper.
FYI, The 2nd 2.5AH refurbished battery cost me $70 on sale. There's another current SD for a Greenworks 60v leaf blower, which comes with a 4.0AH battery and charger, for $140. That's about the cost of a 4.0AH battery alone. If you happen to need both a chainsaw and the blower, the 2 for $280 is a pretty good deal and would largely eliminate runtime anxiety for either tool.
